OT - high lift garage doors
Great Paceline brain trust... need your opinions here.
Doing a garage reno and I'm trying to sort out a new garage door and how it could work with my current garage design. I'm moving all my storage to loft-style cabinets up near the ceiling... they will come out about 2' from both upper walls. To do this, I need to shrink or change the garage door... and it needs to have 2 main requirements: Lock from both the inside and outside and take up as little interior (and exterior) space as possible. it seems like I have 3 options at this stage: 1) roll-up commercial door - pricey? $3.5k - 6k quoted prices so far. Residential garage door guys have very little experience with them? I can't get a handle on this option... it's strange. 2) a straight-up front door/french door - frame out the space and just plug a door in there... I don't love this idea because I don't have the clearance that I want on either side, I'm on a busy street and it seems less secure, although there are very pricey security door options. 3) narrower, high-lift garage door - garage door guys get this one, it seems like I can get it in narrower widths, and it's possibly cheapest?
BTW, I did just speak to a custom metal fabricator this morning and discussed an airplane-hangar door option... not sure on pricing yet. |
