It is rare where I use the big folding entry door. Most households today cannot fit a vehicle in the garage anymore. Our garages are loaded with garage stuff and household stuff nowadays.
No more than a few years after I moved in, I installed a 36" side door to my garage. Then a few years later, my rubber strip under my front lift door started exhibiting rubber-shredding too. Got rid of the bird feeders - put out rat traps and bought a couple long plastic landscaping strips to put across the bottom of the fold-up door. Propped those landscaping strips up with a few bricks that sealed-shut the rubber stripping at the bottom of the door.
If I need to open that big door, I remove the landscaping strips. But that's never more than 3-4 times per year now. I have no riding mowers, nor snow blowers that won't fit thru that 36" side door.
Advantage small lot size. My vehicles are kept 24-7 on the side driveway, but behind the gate. No more thefts, vandalism and drunks crashing into my vehicles parked on the front street.
