Garage Door to Carriage Door Conversion
Real Out-Swing Carriage Garage Doors Handmade in Solid Wood
Garage conversions can be exciting because of the unlimited possibilities that can done. Some might convert their garage to a playroom for the kids, a man cave, entertainment room or for a much needed home office. The question is what to do with that old rollup garage door that gets in the way of the interior design? The answer is...roll back time and replace that garage door with real functional carriage doors that will give you that pedestrian access you're looking for while eliminating all the excess needed by a regular garage door!
Our custom designed carriage doors for garage conversions are crafted much like front door systems. We build them with the highest level of craftsmanship and ease of use you would expect from an entry door. Because our carriage doors are crafted by hand it is easy to oversee quality during the manufacturing process ensuring that the end result is perfect.
This carriage garage door system was handcrafted in solid mahogany wood in a traditional craftsman style to accentuate the home's 1940's traditional bungalow style. Since the garage was converted into a home office it was important to shower the interior with natural light so we added large glass panes at the top of the carriage doors to allow enough light to brighten the space with as much natural light as possible. Each carriage door panel has a hand-forged iron pull with roller a roller catch and keyed deadbolt. There is full perimeter weather around the doors as well as a threshold seal at the bottom to keep the weather, bugs and dust outside while keeping the interior temperature stable. Since the existing overhead pergola was crafted in redwood we stained the mahogany carriage doors to match on point making the project a harmonious success!
