To support this we do offer hardware kits or hardware sets with custom designed handles and authentic ornamental hinges in 6", 8", 10", 12", 16", 24" and 30" length along with decorative clavos, door knobs or door studs, door knockers, ring pulls, non-working Iron handle sets, angled hinges and corner hinge brackets in a wide range of custom colors.

Again, all hardware is for decorative use only.

Please check with your local merchant where your door was purchased to confirm and inquire about any special positioning that is required for adding decorative hardware. As with any item not sold originally with your door, adding hardware to your doors exterior may void your door warranty and could require door adjustments. Please check with the installer of your garage door or contact your local door installer if you have any concerns or cannot locate the original installer before purchasing. Remember, the torsion or extension garage door springs lift the weight of the door, not the electric garage door opener.

We do offer magnetic style strap hinges and door handles which require no drilling or screwing any fasteners into the face of your door.

Another option in the magnetic field is our new magnetic house numbers in either black or bright brass finish. All you do is to select your address number and when received, apply them to your steel garage door, steel siding or steel entry door.
For sealing the space between your garage door bottom and concrete garage floor, we offer the Storm Shield Garage Door Threshold Weather Seal or floor weather stripping kits that are supplied with adhesive. It is recommended to only install the weather floor seals if the temperature is over 55 degrees for at least twenty four hours for the adhesive to cure.
