Carriage doors, also known as coach doors, emulate the classic swinging doors of old carriage houses but have been modernized for today's homes. Unlike standard garage doors, which roll up to open, carriage doors swing out to open for a more traditional look.

Carriage doors are extremely versatile and aren't limited to just garages. They're a popular choice for businesses, studios, stables, workshops and other commercial establishments looking for an entryway solution that stands out.

Yes, we can automate your carriage doors. We offer two automated opener systems for outswing carriage doors: the Franklin Autoswing Opener and the Fremont Ceiling Mounted Opener. Each opener has a suite of accessories for you to customize your door system.

Carriage doors have a typical lead time of anywhere between 6-10 weeks but this is subject to change based on order volume or any special order materials. The lead time begins once the customer signs the shop drawing.

Professional installation is strongly recommended for carriage doors. We also provide you with a step-by-step installation guide.

Our carriage doors are designed to be low maintenance. You may need to tighten or lubricate your hinges, which is especially critical for very wide doors.

Our luxe finishes are a combination of an oil stain with a water-based top coat. Light sanding and reapplication of the topcoat may be necessary every 2-5 years depending on your unique situation. Full refinishing is recommended once every ten years.

When well-cared for and properly installed, carriage doors last for decades. We use traditional joinery methods to maximize the longevity of our doors.

Aluminum thresholds are drivable, and thus ideal for standard garages. White Oak thresholds for carriage doors work best for garages that have been insulated or converted into ADUs, home gyms, or studios.

The active door is simply the door that opens first. If your doors will be automated, this is the door that the opener pushes open first. If your doors are manual, the inactive door will have a set of cane bolts on it for security.

There are a couple reasons why you may want to replace your existing garage door. The first is if the door is warped enough that it doesn’t function well, or if it’s too old to restore.

The second is if you’re deciding to remodel your home or change other aspects of the exterior, like paint, roof materials, or windows. Replacing the garage door keeps everything cohesive and beautiful. It may even add to your home’s value, and it improves the curb appeal. This is particularly the case with standard roll-up garage doors. Carriage doors are a luxurious and dignified upgrade over a roll-up door.
