In the United States, residential garage fires are alarmingly common, with approximately 6,600 incidents annually, leading to 30 fatalities, over 400 injuries, and property losses amounting to $457 million. To solve these problems, spring hinges or self-closing technology may be used depending on what type of entry doors we have available at home today – they’re both safe but different from one another according to their design.
Self Closing Mechanism
Garage door closers provide a quiet and efficient solution for closing your garage door. They resemble traditional spring-loaded closers but offer all the advantages of a speed control door closer without the need for oiling or greasing. These closers are available in a 5/8″ R size with a zig-zag pattern, making them suitable for residential properties. Installation is a breeze, similar to replacing a hinge.
