According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an estimated 6,600 residential building garage fires were reported to United States fire departments each year and caused an estimated 30 deaths, 400 injuries, and $457 million in property loss.
A garage door with a self-closing function could have slowed the spread of many of those fires, so it’s important to make sure that your garage door is closed when you’re not using it. Installing self-closing heavy-duty garage door hinges is an effective way to ensure a safe residential environment. Heavy-duty spring hinges are the most common hardware for residential and commercial garage doors. However, they tend to slam rather violently, which is not only unsafe but is quite noisy and unsettling.
Secure Solution for Residential Garage Entry Doors
Waterson commercial heavy-duty hinges are an ideal solution for garage entry doors. They look like traditional hinges, however, they function like door closers. Engineered with mechanical and hydraulic mechanisms, Waterson hinges close softly and securely without ever slamming. At the same time, the heavy-duty hinges are available in 5/8R with a zig-zagging pattern, which is compatible with most residential properties. With easily adjustable speed control, Waterson heavy-duty self-closing hinges are well-suited to meet any closing needs. This product guarantees safe closing speeds better than traditional spring hinges, as well as a long-lasting and reliable function.
