“This company is truly wonderful. They made a beautiful wrought iron gate for me. We worked together to come up with a design perfect for the entrance to my home. Samuel, who fabricated it, is a perfectionist. The price was fair, and it was a terrific experience. I have been remodeling my home and it would be a dream if even 1/4 if the vendors I have worked with were this professional, on time and NICE!”

Having an automated iron gate system can be much more convenient.

Types Of Houston Driveway Gates

The two basic types of driveway gates are swing gates, and slide gates. A swinging gate will swing open on various hinge posts, away from incoming traffic.

The gate can also lock in a doubled-up position, and hide behind your fence. So, keep some of these options in mind if you are considering a driveway gate.

Out Of Alignment Garage Door Track

Less Control Over Opening

Garage Door Only Closes Part Way

Garage doors have a mechanism which can reverse them to prevent the chances of damage when objects fall into the path of the garage door. So, if dust or debris buildup is in the track. The result can be it preventing the rollers from moving.

Garage Door Will Not Open

If your garage door won’t open, remember a garage door can be much heavier than you think. If the springs in the door break, it can be very difficult to open the door. Contact Sentry Garage Door and Gates if you feel as though the springs may be broken, or your door will not lift.

Door Opener Is Running But Door Will Not Open

If the automatic garage door opener is continuing to run, but it won’t open your door. You could consider opening and closing the door manually. The switch on the rope that leads to your automatic door opener could have become unhooked, but there is a way to reattach the hook, and secure it.

Garage Door Closes Too Quickly

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL GARAGE DOORS

As well as providing repair services for a variety of residential clients across Houston. We are also proud to provide residential garage door installation services. It’s important to remember that a garage door can take up quite a large space on your home. A garage door plays a big part in the curb appeal of your home, and its resale value. So, here are some top considerations to keep in mind when buying a residential garage door:

Visual Aesthetics

Having quality curb appeal and putting your home’s resale value in perspective is very important. A garage door equates to a big impact with the appearance of your home. A garage door could potentially take up to 30% of the front of your home. Replacing residential garage doors can lead to a greater asking price for your home.

Garage Door Style

There are many different options available for your new garage door. And a plethora of different manufacturers. Each one will have many design options. Different window patterns, colors and potentially even materials for their garage doors. At Sentry Garage Door and Gates we are proud to offer a wide selection of garage doors. So, put together some style ideas that you enjoy, and our experts can work at narrowing down the best options for your home.

Visualize Your New Garage Door

Many manufacturers including Wayne-Dalton and Overhead Door Corp can help you to visualize what their door installations may look like on your home. Using these modern design tools, you can get an idea of just what style works best with the home you have.

The Level Of Protection Needed

There are many styles of doors, each with different layers of insulation. A single layer garage door is light weight and very low cost, but it does not have the same insulation value as double layer or premium style garage doors. Most premium garage doors have inner and outer layers made of wood or steel with fiberglass as well as a thick layer of polyurethane insulation. These garage doors insulate almost as well as the exterior of your home.

Houston Garage Door Materials

There are varying materials which can change the price of your garage door. And, they can change the visual design of your garage door, as well. Some prefer aluminum and glass, some prefer fiberglass, some prefer steel, whereas others are interested in a full wood construction garage door. There are even vinyl and composite wood style garage doors. Therefore, each of these types of materials has its own advantages, or disadvantages. So, it is up to you the amount of maintenance that you want to perform, and the look that you want for your home.

Commercial Overhead Doors Houston

There are some distinct differences between a commercial overhead door, and a residential garage door. The staff at Sentry Garage Door and Gates are available for commercial garage doors and commercial overhead door installation. Here are some of the main differences between a residential garage door, and a commercial grade door:

Size Needed

A commercial grade garage door can be much larger than a residential garage door. Residential garage doors are usually a standard 7 feet high. But the possibilities are almost endless when it comes to commercial garage doors.

Custom Looks

Commercial garage doors can have more customization because they have much larger motors and openers. Using aftermarket glass panels, different materials and various insulating qualities can really improve the look of a commercial door. As well as improve its function for a business.

Commercial Door Cost

Due to the added materials as well as the larger sized motor that could be needed to lift the garage door. Commercial overhead doors often carry a much larger cost. This is due to all the extra work involved and the larger material costs for production.

Commercial Door Strength

We know many commercial garage doors are designed for loading and unloading trucks. As well as offering easy access for large vehicles to come into a factory for example. With these larger demands and heavy equipment, a commercial garage door needs to be built to last. Many of the top manufacturers produce heavier gauge materials. Because they need to stand up to such heavy equipment.
