What Is a Carriage-House Garage Door Install?

A full replacement or new install of a sectional door that visually mimics swing-out carriage doors.

You get modern safety and performance—insulation, weather-seals, photo-eyes, smooth travel—plus period-correct looks (overlays, V-groove planks, arched lites, strap hinges, and clavos).

Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors

  • Design + install pros: We handle style selection, window layouts, hardware kits, and color/finish guidance.


  • Engineering first: Correct track radius, spring sizing (IPPT), and wind-load packages where required.


  • Quiet operation: Sealed nylon rollers, balanced springs, and belt-drive or wall-mount openers.


  • Coastal-smart: Stainless/galv. fasteners, marine-aware seals, finish guidance for beach air.

  • Coastal homes needing corrosion-resistant specs and seals

  • Converting to belt-drive or wall-mount openers for quieter operation

Our Carriage-House Install Process (Step-by-Step)

Design & Measure

Confirm rough opening, headroom, backroom; select panel profile, overlay pattern, window lites, and hardware; finalize finish/color.

Spec & Engineering

Size torsion springs (IPPT), choose track radius (12"/15"), pick insulation (polystyrene/polyurethane), and wind-load if needed; confirm opener compatibility.

Removal & Prep

Safely remove old door/opener; verify framing; repair/shore bracket points; lay protective coverings; confirm level/square.

Professional Installation

Assemble and hang new sections, install heavy-duty hinges, sealed nylon rollers, torsion system, and tracks/back-hangs; mount decorative hardware.

Opener Integration & Seals

Install or re-hang opener (belt/wall-mount), set chain/belt tension; fit bottom seal/astragal, perimeter weather-seal, and (if desired) threshold.

Balance, Tune & Handover

Balance to neutral hand-lift; program limits/force; run UL 325 safety tests; multi-cycle quiet check; haul-away and provide care/finish notes.

What’s Included

  • Design & measurement with profile/overlay/window options

  • Door package (material, insulation, hardware, glass as chosen)

  • Pro hardware set (torsion springs, tracks, sealed nylon rollers, heavy-duty hinges)

  • Opener integration (existing or new), programming & accessories

  • Balance, tune & safety certification (UL 325) + old door haul-away

Methods, Materials & Quality Standards

  • Materials: Insulated steel/composite overlays for low maintenance; real wood options with finish guidance.

  • Insulation: Polystyrene (value) or polyurethane (higher R-value, rigidity, quiet).

  • Hardware: Sealed nylon rollers, heavy-duty hinges, correct hinge numbers (#1–#5), and reinforced top section.

  • Finish & Coastal: Stainless/galv. fasteners; weather-resistant seals; maintenance plan for wood near the coast.

  • Compliance: UL 325 safety verification; opener force/limits within spec; wind-load options where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steel/composite or real wood—what’s best?

Steel/composite = low maintenance and strong insulation. Real wood = authentic grain and custom stain, but requires regular finishing, especially near the coast.


Will it be loud?

No—paired with sealed nylon rollers and a belt or wall-mount opener, operation is very quiet.


Can I keep my existing opener?

Often yes—if compatible and healthy. We’ll assess and advise; many clients upgrade to smart Wi-Fi control.


Do carriage-house doors work with windows?

Absolutely—square or arch lites, clear/obscure/impact options.


What maintenance is needed?

Annual tune & safety check, seal inspection, and for wood: finish touch-ups as needed. Coastal homes benefit from a biannual plan.


Do you handle HOA approvals?

We can supply spec sheets and renderings to streamline approvals.
