Q: What are the alternatives to a driveway gate?

• <div><p>A traditional driveway gate isn&rsquo;t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gate</a> like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate&mdash;if not better for your home depending on which qualities you&rsquo;re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.</p></div>

Q: Are insulated garage doors worth it?

• <div><p>An insulated garage door is a great long-term investment if it&rsquo;s within your budget. They save energy and give the door year-round usability. In other words, the door pays for itself after a few nasty winters. Most modern garage doors already have a fair amount of insulation, so look into those options if you don&rsquo;t feel comfortable splurging.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type lubricant for a garage door?

• <div><p>It's best to use a silicone- or lithium-based lubricant since they're designed to deeply penetrate the door's components and provide long-lasting protection against wear and tear. Avoid using WD-40 and standard grease since they can potentially strip away existing lubrication or attract dust and dirt, respectively. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint does a garage door need?

• <div><p>The paint type your garage door needs depends on the door's material. Aluminum garage doors generally require exterior acrylic paint, while vinyl and wood doors usually call for exterior latex paint. Pros typically recommend latex and oil-based paint for steel doors. Acrylic latex paint is a great option if you need something that&rsquo;s kid and pet-friendly as well as eco-friendly.</p></div>

Q: How can I stop a garage door from freezing shut?

• <div><p>If your garage door seems to freeze every winter, you can try rubbing silicone spray or petroleum jelly around the edges and rollers of the garage door. However, it&rsquo;s a good idea to avoid direct application of silicone sprays like WD40 to rubber edges, which could damage them over time. A garage door that frequently freezes shut could need a full replacement, especially if it&rsquo;s showing signs of rust or other wear and tear. </p></div>

All good, except that during the initial phone call they agreed to replace the weatherstripping on the bottom of one of the doors. The tech who came out to the house declined to do that and told me to do it myself.
