Can you manually open the garage door?

• <div><p>If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You’ll need to unlock your garage door opener’s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you’ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.</p><p>If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.</p></div>

Q: Should garage doors be painted flat or gloss?

• <div><p>You can use a wide variety of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-sheen-exterior-paint.htm">finishes for garage doors</a>, and the choice comes down to personal preference. You can use a semi-gloss, eggshell enamel sheen, matte, or satin enamel. You may even prefer a solid color wood stain. The key is finding an exterior paint that can withstand the elements your garage door is so frequently exposed to.</p></div>

Q: How long after painting can you open the garage door?

• <div><p>You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though&mdash;if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry. </p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build a garage or buy a kit?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s typically less expensive to buy a garage-building kit than to build a garage from scratch if you&rsquo;re supplying all the labor. However, unless you are an experienced builder, you will still need to hire pros to install the foundation, concrete floor, and add electrical and plumbing to your garage kit. In that case, it&rsquo;s worth the investment to build a garage through a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-builders/">local garage builder</a> who can coordinate the hiring of other necessary pros.</p></div>

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>
