It’s been a busy couple of weeks for garage door installations here at Prestige Doors. When garage doors get old and worn, they aren’t just unattractive, they’re a safety security risk too, which is why it’s important to have them well maintained.
Safety and Security
It’s easy to be mistaken into thinking that if you don’t keep a car in the garage, that an old faulty or damaged garage door that is now stuck or hard to open is a positive in relation to security. But consider that in an emergency, the garage could be your quickest means of escape. If the door can’t be opened easily, those minutes could be the difference between a safe escape and tragedy.
A well fitted, good looking garage door isn’t just a practical security measure. A really solid looking garage door is going to put potential intruders off before even testing its security. We’ve written before about the power of ‘thinking like a burglar,’ that is thinking critically about your home security and looking out for things you do that would give unwanted strangers a way into your home. Among the things they watch out for is poor maintenance. A poorly kept hedge, a broken fence or an overgrown lawn and especially a ugly old garage door all attract burglars’ attention and increase your chances of becoming a target.
