Thanks! Another major step completed!

Decided to go with manually operated doors for now, and may add a motor to the smallest of the three, at some point. That's where my DD will live.

As for the door company, they were the right choice. Turns out that most of the experienced techs from the first company I looked at (Amelia Overhead Door) wound up leaving and going to work for this company (Commonwealth Garage Door). They were about the same price, but Commonwealth actually sent someone out to look at the site and measure the openings.

Are you going to get lifting handles?

Are you going to get lifting handles?

For the doors?

Edit: sorry, that was a silly question on my part. Doh.

I hadn’t planned on putting any handles on the doors, as they will be lifted from the inside where there are places to grab onto and lift. I’m assuming that when they’re closed they’ll be latched, which means coming inside to open them.

I kind of wish they had a manual twist type handle on the outside, that operates two bars that go into the rails to lock it in place when closed. I don’t know if they could be added, but it’s a thought.

After using the doors for a while I may add handles, or even motor actuators. Time will tell.

For the roll up doors.

Ah, makes sense. I have to open mine from the outside and it is a real PITA
