A garage door is the showpiece of any garage. This is precisely why many owners of old garages want to have the door replaced after some time in order to upgrade the garage again. But what do you need to consider when refurbishing a garage door? And what options are actually available?
Today’s blog post is about when a garage door should be modernized, which criteria play an important role in a garage door in addition to the visual modernization and what options there are to upgrade the appearance and functionality of the garage door.
When should the garage door be refurbished?
In addition to enhancing the visual appearance, it is also important to keep the door in good working order so that no safety-related problems arise (or can be rectified in the short term). For this reason, the door of an older garage should be tested at regular intervals, especially for the following defects, in order to start refurbishment in good time.

Typical detailed repairs to old garage doors are as follows:
- Replacing the gate springs
- Fastening lock
- Locking cylinder repair or replacement
In the case of more extensive defects or if a comprehensive visual change is desired, it is generally recommended that the entire garage door is replaced by the ZAPF experts.
If a garage door replacement is desired… – then choose a sectional door right away?
If you are planning to replace an old (up-and-over) door, it is an interesting option to use this situation to install a modern and elegant sectional door. According to many observers, this not only looks particularly attractive – it also offers significantly more usable space inside and in front of the garage, as this type of door does not require any swing-up space.
A premium sectional door may even be the door of choice. On the one hand, this offers the advantages of a “normal” sectional door and, thanks to the 90° door travel, opens in a particularly space-saving manner.
The premium sectional door from ZAPF also offers a few special extras:
- Additional ventilation option thanks to the special ventilation position of the door, without reducing the burglary protection of the garage. Plus:
- Ventilated floor profile!
- Stainless steel frames and frame runners – which are particularly durable
- Tandem rollers make the garage door run particularly smoothly and reduce wear and tear
- The premium sectional door is also available directly with an electric door operator and radio remote control. This significantly increases convenience!
- Can be combined with ZAPF Connect – the smart control app from ZAPF!
