Steel garage doors in a range of insulation levels and styles, built for strength and quiet, dependable operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What steel garage door series does American Door offer, and how do they compare?
Four series, from most to least insulated: Best Insulated 8500 (R-16.12, 2-inch-thick panels), Highly Insulated 8300 (R-12.12), Carriage House 9700 (R-10), and Classic 9600 (carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty).
What makes the Carriage House 9700 series different from the Classic 9600 series?
The 9700 series offers a variety of carriage house designs, large windows, and a wide range of colors and stain options with embossed high-tensile steel panels, while the 9600 series uses the same embossed steel look with a two-coat, baked-on polyester finish and a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
How is the insulation built into these steel doors?
Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation is chemically bonded to each steel section, creating higher strength and dent resistance, and is CFC-free.
What keeps a steel garage door quiet and smooth to operate?
SilentGlide rollers with nylon tires and solid steel shafts, sound-absorbing insulation that eliminates wind-rattling, and — on the 9700 series — low-profile hinges that add stability over ordinary vertical hinges.
Can a wind-load-rated steel garage door be ordered?
Yes, the Carriage House 9700 series offers wind load options along with pinch-resistant panels and the TorqueMaster Plus counterbalance system, which safely contains springs inside a steel tube.
What protects a steel garage door’s insulation and edges from damage?
Heavy-gauge steel wraparound end caps trim out the door edges, improving appearance and strength while protecting the foamed-in-place insulation.
