How do garage door sensors work?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors work by using infrared beams to detect objects in the door’s path. One sensor sends a beam while the other receives it. When the beam is broken—say, by your car or anything else—the sensors signal the door to stop or reverse. It’s all about safety and making sure nothing gets trapped under the door. If they’re misaligned, the beam doesn’t connect, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-does-garage-door-opener-work.htm">the garage door might stay open</a> or close regardless of obstructions. </p></div>

Q: How do you know when your garage door needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>With good maintenance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-replace-your-garage-door.htm">garage doors can last</a> for 15 to 30 years. You might consider a replacement if yours is approaching that age and struggling to work properly. For instance, if your garage door is slow to open or close (or doesn&rsquo;t open or close at all) or is loud even after lubricating the parts, you might need a new one. Similarly, if it&rsquo;s sagging, uneven, or has other visual signs of wear and tear, it may be time for an upgrade.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for newly constructed garages?

• <div><p>Regular checks of structural elements, weatherproofing, and energy systems.</p></div>

Q: What is the most secure door for a garage?

• <div><p>There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders. </p></div>

Q: Will a 20x20 garage fit 2 cars?

• <div><p>The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it&rsquo;s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.</p></div>
