From the time we moved in, only one of the carriage house doors has worked. The others have various problems and don't open so we can't get all the cars in. The one pictured opens, but it is in bad shape along the bottom edge.
The doors are traditional carriage house doors. The rightmost panel swings open like a normal door while the two on the left open into the garage like bi-fold closet doors.
Being a lazy slug, I'd like to not have to open and close the doors manually. So keeping the existing mechanism isn't going to work.
As we've been looking at different options, a company looking to get back into the midwest market approached us about using their product. It's a single piece garage door that kicks outward at the bottom before rotating and sliding back at the top. The reason why it works well in California is because they don't have to shovel the snow out of the way to get the door open. Needless to say, that style of door isn't an option for us.
We did find a company who can reproduce the look of these doors, but use a standard multi-panel rolling mechanism.
And the HPC has approved it.
So the project has begun.
