Swing open the hinged door to a new place

Traditional designs never go out of fashion. They change their outlook and stay around until the trend catches up again. As a family of 6, we hardly used our second garage for any purpose to park vehicles and it was in dire need of a new door. The house being in a farm had not seen a new door since it construction. We wanted to keep it simple, yet safe and easy to use for any member of the house without any intricate mechanisms to operate the door. The garage was being used as a part storage place and part place for kids to enjoy time and inside space if they wished so.

The choice we made for our Garage Doors Austin had to be easy to use for our growing up kids and we had to ensure it was safe for them to enter and leave. We got our garage fitted with Side Hinged Garage Doors. While these are traditional, the door provides for safety and is yet modern in their aesthetics. Also, maintenance hassles are greatly reduced. We can access the garage without opening up the whole panel which means it is easier to access and use for our daily needs.

Materials you can use

Any material can be used for making the traditional hinged doors since the technology enables you to get the finish you want for your door. We preferred the traditional wood designed doors but used a good quality wood that would not go bad for a long period with its exposure to rugged use and a whole variety of weather. You can choose the wood you want. Most professionals, we went to have a whole range to choose from and they guided us to make a choice as well. If you are also looking for options, ask questions and enquire around before making a choice.

Worried about size?

You can get a Overhead Door Austin in the standard size of up to 10 feet (3048 mm) wide and 8 feet high (2438 mm).  You can set the door to 50/50 split that is most commonly used design, the one even we settled on. One can also choose from 1/3 and 2/3 opening in most designs. The latter choices offer a solution for frequent access and means that the whole door need not be opened for access each time you have some work in the garage.
