According to FEMA, about 6,600 residential garage fires occur annually in the US, resulting in 30 deaths, 400 injuries, and $457 million in property loss. To enhance safety, ensure you close the garage when not in use. Traditional spring hinges are common but can slam violently, posing risks. Opting for heavy-duty self-closing garage door hinges to the house is an effective way to ensure a safe residential environment.

Luxury 8ft Garage Door Installation
In residential living, an 8ft garage door symbolizes luxury and sophistication. These large doors require an embracement of beauty, a blend of visual compliance, and user-friendly features. Such installations must meet fire-rated purposes and other safety standards to upscale homeowners’ needs. Adding a self-closing mechanism to the garage door is a typical example of this balance.
Garage door hinges are not entirely universal, as the size of the hinge varies depending on the specific garage door and its dimensions. Typically, the hinges come in standard sizes such as 4″ x 4″, 4-1/2″ x 4-1/2″, 5″ x 5″, and 6″ x 6″.
