Decorative hardware is available on almost any garage door and allows you to add a little bit of personalization. Decorative hardware is available in three materials: aluminum, stamped steel or magnetic vinyl, and each comes with its own pros and cons.

Aluminum decorative hardware is typically more expensive than stamped steel or magnetic hardware. However, it is available in more designs. It is generally thicker with a three-dimensional appearance. This material is the right choice for coastal areas because it’s essentially rust-resistant, making it a popular decorative hardware material for homeowners who live along the beach.
