Like any door, the hardware you install on garage doors makes a big impact. Your fixtures have the power to drastically increase your commercial or residential property’s curb appeal and overall value. Below is a helpful guide to making the right hardware choice for your door.

How to Select Hardware for Garage Doors

Focus On Authenticity

Before moving forward with your hardware choices, it’s a good idea to consider the door’s style and size. Barn doors will look great with rustic strap hinges, while traditional stile and rail doors won’t. Additionally, handles and pulls should be placed with consideration for where the faux doors of your garage would open. If you have a wide, two-car garage, you’ll likely need two sets of strap hinges, rather than one set in the center, to make it look balanced and believable.

Don’t Overdo It

Instead, making a statement with a few impactful pieces of hardware for an elegant and natural appeal. For example, the use of two ring pulls and clavos, or decorative metal nails, can add interest to the front of your home or office without pulling focus from your front entrance.
