Common Questions

• Which model is the basic door, and when is it enough?

  The 1400 is the basic model in the line. It is non-insulated 26 gauge galvanized steel with an embossed wood grain finish. It is available in Standard, Long and Vertical Short panels. It is backed by a 15-year limited warranty against splitting and cracking. For a detached garage with no heated space above or beside it, this is normally all a homeowner needs.

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

  For an attached garage or a room above it, choose the 1500, 1540 or 1600. For a detached garage with nothing heated nearby, the 1400 or 1440 is enough. The 1500 and 1540 use polystyrene insulation rated at R-7.4. The 1600 uses polystyrene rated at R-9.8 with a tested U-factor of 0.23. The 1400 and 1440 are not insulated.

• 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.

• What is the difference between the 1500 and the 1540, or the 1400 and the 1440?

  The "40" models step up to a heavier 24 gauge steel instead of the base 26 gauge. They carry a limited lifetime warranty against splitting and cracking instead of the 1400's 15-year term or the 1500's 20-year term. Insulation stays the same within each pair. All four share the same panel styles, colors and window options.

• How do I choose a color or window?

  You choose at the estimate with the samples in hand. We offer six colors, three panel designs and 31 window styles. You can see each one next to your own siding and trim.

• 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.

• Can I get a wind load rated door here?

  Overhead Door's WindStorm wind load-rated system is offered on select models in this line. We settle which models qualify and the design pressure your local code requires at the estimate.

Panel, Color and Window Options

The panel designs, colors and windows this door comes in. You choose at the estimate, with the samples in hand.

• 

  

  Standard

  The classic raised panel, available on every model in the line.

• 

  

  Long

  Wider panels for a calmer, more contemporary face, available on every model in the line.

• 

  Vertical Short

  A wainscot-inspired design with short vertical panels. It is available on the 1400, 1440, 1500 and 1540, but not the 1600.

Six colors: White, Almond, Desert Tan, Taupe (called Sandstone on the 1600), Brown and Black. Black is not offered on the 1600.

Windows

31 styles. Window style is chosen at the estimate with the samples in hand. Not every panel design or model takes every style, and a few depend on door size.
