Common Questions

• Should I choose a steel or a wood carriage door?

  Choose steel if you want an insulated door that arrives finished. The 7520, 7560 and 7540 are foam-insulated steel with an embossed wood grain, rated R-9.31 to 12.76. They are backed by a 20-year or limited lifetime warranty. Choose wood if you want real wood. The 9940 and 9960 are built of wood and plywood. They arrive unfinished for paint or stain and carry a 1-year limited warranty.

• Does the estimate cost anything?

  No. One of our own people comes out and measures the opening. You choose the door with the samples in hand. You get a written estimate for the door you picked, installed.

• What about my opener and the old door?

  We reconnect and test your opener on the new door. Our crew takes the old door away on install day.

• Do I need an insulated door for an attached garage or a room above?

  For an attached garage or a room above it, the steel models insulate best. The 7560 is rated R-12.76, the highest in the line. The 7540 is R-10 and the 7520 is R-9.31, all using polyurethane foam. On the wood doors, insulation is standard on the 9960, rated R-4.75, and optional on the 9940. If the garage is detached with nothing heated nearby, any of the five models is enough.

• How do I look after a wood door, and can it be refinished?

  The 9940 and 9960 arrive unfinished in paint grade or stain grade wood. The door needs its own coat of paint or stain. Like any painted or stained wood outdoors, that finish needs upkeep. Paint grade comes primed white. You choose paint grade or stain grade at the estimate with the samples in hand.

• How heavy is a carriage door, and will my opener handle it?

  A carriage door is heavier than a basic steel door. Its spring system is matched to the door at installation. One of our own people evaluates your opener at the estimate to confirm it suits the new door. On install day, our crew reconnects and tests your opener.

• Can I add windows and decorative hardware?

  Yes. A single wood 9940 or 9960 door takes 12 window styles and a double one takes 18. The 7540 takes 10 on a single door and 10 on a double. The Courtyard 7520 and 7560 take six. The wood doors come standard without windows. Decorative hinges and handles are available on every model. Knockers are available on the 7540 and the wood doors.

• Can a new door go on my old opening?

  In almost every case, yes. Before we order the door, one of our own people measures the opening. We check the jambs, header, and tracks so the new door and its hardware fit correctly. If anything about the opening needs correcting first, we flag it at that visit.
