Your home isn't just a building; it's a sanctuary, a space carved out of love and dreams. HunnyDone constantly finds ways for HunnyDone members to improve the safety and efficiency of their homes.

Today, we highlight the importance of installing self-closing doors between your garage and your home.

HunnyDone helps our members prioritize projects around their home and hire professionals when it’s time to get them off the to do list.  

Enhanced Security:

Your garage can often become an unintentional gateway for intruders. Even if the main garage door is secure, we sometimes inadvertently leave the door leading into our home open. A self-closing door acts as an automatic security guard, ensuring that any momentary oversight doesn't become a potential security breach.

Energy Efficiency and Climate Control:

Garages are typically not as insulated as the rest of your home. An open door between the garage and the home can lead to a rush of unconditioned air, causing your HVAC system to work harder. Self-closing doors ensure that these temperature fluctuations are minimized, saving on energy costs and ensuring a consistently comfortable environment.

Safety from Harmful Fumes:

Cars, stored chemicals, or gasoline in garages can emit harmful fumes. An open door can allow these fumes to seep into your living spaces, posing health risks. A self-closing door acts as a barrier, protecting your family from potential hazards.

Safety from Fire:

Fires that break out in the garage can spread to your home.  A self-closing fire rated door will help to slow the spread of fires and give your family critical additional minutes to get to safety.

Peace of Mind:

Knowing that there's a mechanism in place to close the door even if you forget offers unparalleled peace of mind. Whether you're juggling groceries, managing kids, or simply have your hands full, the self-closing door is like an extra pair of hands ensuring safety.

The beauty of a self-closing door lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. It's an easy upgrade with lasting benefits. Our commitment at HunnyDone is to provide you not just with a house, but a home – safe, efficient, and nurturing. We wholeheartedly recommend this feature to our valued homeowners, and as always, we're here to assist in any installation or queries you might have.
