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.
