Garage Doors

Hello

Can anyone recommend me some garage doors?
Any brands better than others?
What to look for when purchasing a new garage door?
Also can garage doors actually perform as an anti-theft? (meaning is it hard to break garage doors if someone intend to do so?)

Thank you in advance!!!

Thank you Darryl.
I went Liftmaster's site and could not find any info regarding doors, only info available was for openers.
hm.... I will try again.

 

These are probably the nices garage doors I've ever seen.....pure granite.

Now that must be as safe as you can get!

Does it have a garage door opener?

 

Yes, it also has a 4 storey glass elevator from the garage up to the main entrance!

 

I guess it all depends on how you want the doors to perform. I just built a pole barn to put my cars and memorabilia in, and I didn't want to see the usual ugly overhead door tracks cluttering up the interior, so I built traditional carriage doors. I can't seem to get the pictures to upload, but you can see them here: http://hometown.aol.com/damaadams7/polebarn.html

 

where the hell did you see that abd do you have more pics

 

I live in Miami and had the insulated,hurricane code doors by Cloplay.

 

My door's Clopay too. I went for the best I could get regarding insulation. No hurricane-grade doors needed in Toronto, though.

 

I'm using artillery camo netting on my project....will post pics later!

 

This house is in Whistler, (BC) Canada, on the mountain of the ski village where the 2010 olympics will be.

A real estate agent told me that this house was worth about $15 million dollars. (Complete with Granite Garage doors, elevator, waterfall, and infinity pool overlooking the mountains.)

I didn't get too much info on the garage doors, but they are definitely unique!

 

14M too much.

Cant even cut grass over there....bah.

 

What kind of doors are you seeking? Are you looking for traditional carriage-style doors made from wood or modern-era doors made from stamped steel or dare I say this word: "vinyl"?

I'd be happy to share with you my experience. I just installed carriage doors (see below) in my "back" garage.

I'm reviving this thread because I'm doing a garage make-over.

Part of the project will be new, upgraded overhead doors. I'm looking for something that will give me maximum clear height for installing a lift, so the tracks need to be as high as possible, the motor needs to be wall mounted and no lights or other obstructions between the tracks. They should operate as quietly as possible. I'm interested in doors with translucent panels but I've had no experience with them, so I welcome your comments.

I've done many searches but there are so many products that I think it's better to just get suggestions and real life experiences from others.

Thanks.

Jack.

 

Garage doors are ugly. So pick something with muted colors that blend into the rest of the house.

I agree, Dale, but fortunately ours are not visible from the street, or even by our neighbors due to topography, site configuration, foliage, etc. I'll try not to do ugly, though.

Have your installer use hi lift track to clear your lifts:

Thanks, Andy.

 

Those look great, John. Thanks.

 

Those are awesome. What did you use for openers?

 

Can't remember now- installed them 11 years ago-I'll have to look - have had a lot of problems with the circuit boards on the doors
