Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren’t popular because when they can be inconvenient—they require you to leave your car—if they’re manual. But, if they’re automatic, they’re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </p></div>

Q: How do I stop cold air from coming under my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to prevent cold air from entering your garage through the space underneath the garage door. Stop cold air in its tracks by adding or replacing the weatherstripping underneath the door seal. You can also add weatherstripping along the sides and top of the garage door to prevent air leakage, and it&rsquo;s a relatively easy DIY fix.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint my garage door with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>You should be able to paint most of your garage door with a small roller, but there will likely be details and nooks and crannies that are best handled with the help of a detail brush. After you have painted most of your garage door, make sure to take a step back to review your work&mdash;if you have a friend or family member nearby to offer another set of eyes, great!)&mdash;and clean up any missed spots with a brush.</p></div>

Q: Where should garage door sensors be located?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors should be installed on each side of the door, typically six inches off of the ground. The sensors communicate through an infrared beam, so they need to face each other directly for the system to work properly. Make sure they&rsquo;re level and aligned, and keep the area around them clear. If they&rsquo;re too high or out of alignment, your garage door won&rsquo;t function properly. </p></div>

Q: What is the best material for garage cabinets?

• <div><p>Garage cabinets are different from interior cabinets because they typically hold heavier tools and face more extreme temperature changes since they&rsquo;re outside your heating and cooling system. For that reason, many homeowners opt for heavy-duty cabinet materials, like metal or steel. However, wood cabinets also work well in a garage for storing lighter items like garden supplies, protective gear, and small tools.</p></div>

He came when promised. He reset the hardware on the doors, ensuring their setting and tightness. Then he rehung the doors and re-installed on of the floor guides. He spent about thirty minutes doing so which was quicker than I could have done it back in the day.
