Carriage-Style
Bringing the Old to the New
Carriage-style garage doors resemble the doors that you could find on carriage houses in the past. These doors typically swung outward and were allowed enough room for a horse-drawn carriage to enter. Today, that style of door has been popularized by modern technologies. Carriage-style garage doors in Vancouver feature all the beauties of older doors with the convenience of modern qualities. These types of doors can still open outward, but most are designed like typically sectional garage doors.
Common Carriage-Style Garage Door Characteristics
There are specific qualities that give carriage-style garage doors in Vancouver their standout style. These features pay homage to the original carriage house doors. The most standout features include visible hardware such as hinges and handles. Unlike today, these pieces of hardware once had functional uses. Modern carriage-style garage doors in Vancouver feature them as decorative pieces to achieve their barn-like design. However, some doors may use them functionally.

Carriage-style doors can be built like sectional doors, with each panel garage door in Portland attached by a set of hinges. This is the most common choice when it comes to the method of opening.
