Guys,

I had garage doors installed about a year ago and they don't seal very well. I get lots of spiders and other bugs creeping in around them and setting up house in my garage. My door installer is worthless, and I had another company come out who said to just put sticky traps down and catch the bugs. Not really what I want to do. Any ideas on what to do or if there are additional products out there to help the doors seal?

Thanks!

You can usually adjust your opener to push down a bit harder on the bottom seal. Then use the trim with weatherstrip built in on the top and sides. The blue and orange stores both have it.

I highly recommend the Green Hinge. Others have posted the Green Hinge web site. I was skeptical. Talked to Lester the inventor who created them to solve a problem at his shop and decided to try them. I installed them in the dead of winter and the next morning I could immediately feel the difference.

Call Green Hinge and talk to Lester. He'll explain the program.

Don't fall for a cheap, weak imitation. There is only ONE Green Hinge!

Those Green Hinges are pretty cool. Such a simple solution to that problem. Installing them on my garage door though would be like plugging a pin hole leak on the titanic. I really need to get a replacement door installed but maybe if I do I'll get some Green Hinges for the new one.
