Garage Door Decorative Hardware
Add a Personal Touch with Garage Door Decorative Hardware
Garage doors work hard every day, but they aren’t just functional – they also largely impact the way your home looks from the outside. One of the best ways to increase your curb appeal and add a personal touch to your home is by adding decorative garage door hardware!
From popular carriage house-style additions to more modern hinges and clavos, we can help you enhance the look of any size or style of garage door.
What Types of Garage Door Decorative Hardware are Available?
Hardware comes in different styles that match different garage door aesthetics. For example, intricate handles look great on rustic carriage house doors, but may not be the best option for modern or contemporary styles. Here are some different types of hardware options you can choose.
Garage door handles come in various designs, ranging from classic to ornate. They can be mounted horizontally or vertically, depending on your preferred aesthetic. Handles not only add visual appeal but also provide a functional element for easy manual operation of the door.
Decorative hinges are a popular choice that add a touch of elegance to garage doors. They’re typically installed in pairs or sets and can be positioned to mimic the appearance of functional hinges. Hinges create the illusion of depth and texture, giving the impression of a larger, more substantial door.
Garage door knockers can be an unexpected and charming detail. This option works particularly well for homes with a traditional or vintage style. Knockers can be made of various materials, such as wrought iron or brushed metal, to match the overall design theme.
Clavos, also known as decorative nails or studs, are small, round embellishments that add a rustic or Old World charm to your garage door. They’re typically placed in a grid along the edges or arranged artistically to create unique patterns. Clavos can be made from iron, brass, or other metals, adding texture and visual interest.
