Can I Convert My Manual Garage Door Into an Automatic Door?

Older homes may still have the old-fashioned way of opening and closing a garage door: by hand. Manual garage doors are not only cumbersome, heavy and hard to open and close, but they can also be a weak access point to your home. In order to tighten up your security and make it easier to open and close – especially for the younger members of your family – then you should update to an automatic garage door. 

One way is to look into a possible conversion kit for your door. Each and every garage door and project is different, so it is best to contact a professional to review your particular situation and follow the expertise and guidance that is offered. Our technicians at Affordable Garage Door can work with you directly on your garage door and review your specifics. Our team works with the LiftMaster brand of garage door openers. We provide both residential and commercial options with many options for accessories. There are garage door openers that save space, have maximum lifting capacity, operate quietly or systems that have standby power in case of a power outage. Anyone who has been locked out of their home during a summer storm can see the need for this! If the electricity is not working, then your automatic garage door does not either and a stand-by power version can prevent you from being stuck outside.

Your Older Door May Just Need an Update

Sometimes, it’s just time for something new! If your older manual door has just seen better days, you may want to consider installing a brand new one. A new garage door will add style and a fresh vibe to the looks of your property and to your home’s curb appeal. You will find that a new door also can tighten up your home’s overall security and allow you to rest easier at night. The latest garage doors have the most innovative and durable features, so that you can feel safe and secure. There are a myriad of options for new garage doors from panel styles to material and color to windows or not. 

Our team can offer advice on what may work at your place. The Clopay line of garage doors are available in modern and contemporary to classic and carriage. There are also more functional doors if you are not looking to add anything special, but still want your home to be safe and secure. Our expertise is available to help guide you to the right decision. We offer price quotes, so that you know what to expect. We will remove and haul away your old garage door as part of our services as well as add the new trim around your new door.
