Here’s a quick look at our garage doors before. We did opt to have windows installed in the top sections when we built our home to add a bit of character. But even then, it’s still lacking a bit of oomph, right?

Magnetic Garage Door Hardware

Does magnetic garage door hardware work? Absolutely!

It definitely adds a lot to a curb appeal. Although, the magnetic garage door hardware is completely for aesthetics. The bond is not strong enough to actually use the handles while lifting the garage door.

Garage door hardware comes in various styles and finishes, not to mention different price points. We chose to add magnetic hardware to our garage doors.

This type of hardware works best on steel and steel core doors. Magnets don’t attach to wood or aluminum.

* If a magnet will stick to your garage door, then these handles and hinges will too!

Again here’s the before.

Before adding the hardware we did give it a thorough cleaning. Spraying it off with the hose and using a scrub brush to remove any dirt from the crevices worked well.
