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>

Are garage screens worth it?

• <div><p>If you use your garage often, then yes, a garage screen is absolutely worth the investment. Whether you use your garage as a home gym, a workshop, or for some other hobby, there are few things more enjoyable than allowing some fresh air and natural light in without having to worry about bugs. Plus, , in exchange for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-save-money-garage-insulation.htm">garage insulation</a>, a garage door screen can provide ventilation that might improve the air quality if you’re producing sawdust or using paints, varnishes, or other potential harmful chemicals.</p></div>

Is it a good idea to insulate the garage door?

• <div><p>Without a doubt, insulating a garage door is a surefire way to make your home more energy efficient. Not only does insulating your garage door reduce your electric bills, but it also helps protect your valuables inside your garage, all while making for a quieter interior space. </p><p>In regions that drop below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, your car's battery is at risk of malfunctioning in a garage that drops dangerously low.

Q: What’s an ideal temperature for my garage during the winter?

• <div><p>While the ideal temperature for your garage is partially based on your preferences for a comfortable garage space, you'll still want to maintain a temperature between 40 degrees and 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect your belongings and vehicles. If you are unable to maintain temperatures that fall within this range, then you may want to consider installing a heater in your garage to prevent temperatures from dropping below 40 degrees.</p></div>

Q: What is the average lifespan of a garage door?

• <div><p>The average garage door is meant to last for at least 15 to 30 years. The quality of your garage door, your local climate, and the &quot;wear and tear&quot; that you put on a door can all ultimately impact how long your garage door lasts. If your garage door is failing, you may be able to learn how to<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-garage-door-spring.htm"> replace garage door springs</a> to avoid the need for a full replacement.</p></div>
