Fall time is here! We are finally experiencing some cold and rainy weather here in the PNW. We Pacific Northwesterners LOVE the rain. But it does come with challenges, and if you’re like me, it always sneaks up on you! I get so caught up with carefree summer living, and my garage becomes a total…
Garage Door Repair and maintenance can be confusing. There are a few things that you can do yourself when it comes to maintenance, but if you have a bigger issue, it often time seems like the best thing to do is call a garage door repair person. Then, since it’s the garage and you may…
Welcome to 2021! Hopefully, this year will be a welcome change from 2020. Last year was full of new experiences for literally the whole world. Many of us suffered and struggled through, whereas many of us experienced great growth and success. Regardless of how your 2020 shaped up to be, a new year always brings…
This winter has already been super rainy. Many of us have experienced significant and minor flooding. Our garages are supposed to be safe from the elements to keep some of our most valuable belongings, like our daily drivers, recreational vehicles, and tools. Unfortunately, if the garage has a bunch of water in it, that can…
With the gyms still closed and it being cold and dark, many of us may feel like we need a dose of serotonin. Working out regularly can help us feel happier because it can boost our serotonin levels (more info on that here). During the warmer, drier months, you may have found it easier to exercise…
The Holidays will look different for all of us this year in 2020. Some of us will spend time away from loved ones in person, and some of us will be able to find ways to be together in some shape or form. Of course, we all love a good video call, but sometimes there…
I’d wager that your garage door opener isn’t something that you think too much about unless you are revamping your door system or your garage door stops working. Revamping your door system is fun, but a broken opener isn’t so much. But either way, you need something that’s gotta fix your budget and all of…
Last week we talked about how to build a makeshift playground in your garage. Without activity options somewhat limited and the cold weather coming soon, we will have a harder time finding safe places for our kids to play. My kids are like many other kids- they are super active. If they don’t run and…
Garage door style has evolved quite a bit in the last 15 years. Many of the homes built in the ’90s and late 2000s had wooden garage doors that were wood finished or painted the same color as the house. Now, doors are most typically made of steel and are often a contrasting color to…
With the cold weather coming, and the Covid pandemic still looming over us, more and more parents will be looking for spaces for the kids to play! The parks won’t be as fun as it gets rainy, and indoor activities in public places are often a no-go zone. If you are one of those parents…
All garage doors use a spring system to open and close the doors. Springs are necessary because they actually do most of the work when it comes to lifting the doors. Torsion springs are our favorite method here at Hung Right Doors, so if you have the opportunity to convert your spring system, we recommend…
As such an imposing sight, your garage door can take up a lot of space in front of your house. Because of this, a little bit of styling will go a long way. By adding a few potted plants, and a wreath or two, you can transform the front of your garage into something special. …
These days its so difficult to know who and when to tip. There are several people that are obvious to tip, restaurant servers, baristas, hotel staff ect. But do you tip your garage repairman? And if so, how much?! So to be honest with you it is always nice to tip someone if they’ve done…
A little bit ago we talked about how to keep rats out of your garage. But rats are not the only pests that love to hang out in garages. At my house we have lots of bugs. Wasps, spiders, flies, you name it we’ve got it! Usually I’d be excited about having such variety in…
A call that we occasionally get Is from people who have garage doors that are seemingly opening up on their own. The caller will come home after a long day to find their door wide open, or wake up in the morning to a gaping door. This is understandably nerve-wracking because for many people the…
The Garage! It’s a whole room in our house outfitted with thousands of dollars’ worth of hardware made specifically for accommodating your car. However, many of us use the garage as a storage room, essentially making it impossible to park our belongings that are some of our most expensive investments. Now, obviously we at Hung…
One problem that anyone with a garage can experience is rats. Rats love to get their way into garages because they are warm, and often have some materials that they can chew through and burrow into. A garage is basically a rats greatest dream. But is it a persons?You may know how to get rid…
It happens to everyone, a lone rock while mowing, a child accidentally throws a baseball, or sometimes you aren’t paying enough attention and you hit your garage door a little with your car, and your door is dented. In one way or another most garage doors will probably suffer some dents and dings at some…
For many of us, our garage is the main entrance to our home. Ever since I was a child, the front door was rarely used by our family. The garage door was the most commonly used door in our home! Not only are our garages the main port by which we enter, it’s also a…
You may have come to the place where you want to replace your garage door. But If you go online to look at prices, it can be difficult to know what exactly you need and how much it’s going to cost. The cost can vary greatly, and the best way to get a firm price…
In 1993 it was federally mandated that all garage door openers manufactured and installed have photo eye safety censors. These are meant to ensure that a garage never closes when there is something in the way. The thing about them is that they can be very sensitive, and stop working unless they are super clean,…
