Q: How do you burglar-proof a garage door?

• <div><p>Always lock the door that separates your garage and your home. However, garage doors are seldom entrance points for thieves. It takes quite a bit of work and noise to pry open a garage door, so thieves often opt for windows or unlocked doors. Unless they have access to the motor which controls the door, as long as it's functioning properly you shouldn't worry too much about it.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of a heated garage?

• <div><p>The main con of a heated garage is that if cold air comes into your garage and hits warm tools, it could lead to rust. You may also have to deal with the slush and run-off from any snow or ice that comes into the garage from vehicles, leading to more maintenance and upkeep.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between vinyl and rubber garage door bottom seals?

• <div><p>The difference between vinyl and rubber garage door bottom seals comes down to cost, flexibility, and climate. Vinyl is the budget-friendly option, lasting well in moderate climates and resisting wear and tear. In colder climates, it can get stiff and make installation more difficult. Alternatively, rubber offers more flexibility, even in freezing temperatures, and better sticks to uneven surfaces. Rubber is more expensive but tends to be more adaptable.</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: Is it safe to install a pet door on my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-pet-doors-your-garage-door-safe.htm">not safe to install a pet door on your garage door</a>. Garage doors that tilt upward can roll up with your dog inside the door without you realizing it, making them dangerous and potentially deadly. Most dog doors also won&rsquo;t fit on traditional garage doors, as they would need to span the panels, compromising the door&rsquo;s stability.</p></div>
