Alrighty, I am going replace my traditional slide up garage door with a different style that opens out in the same was a double closet door does. Below is a site from a NC company who produces these doors at a fairly reasonable cost and you save money on shipping by picking them up. It is the carriage door style in the link below. Doing this will give me more room in my garage shop space by completely freeing up the ceiling and upper walls for storage/cabinets/shelves/etc.
These have to be install as a double exterior door so I will have to find a contractor to do that. The entire old slide up garage door will be removed completely and the new one will open much easier. The hardware sold with these door is solid and designed in a way that it cannot be taken apart to take the door off the hinges. Yeah, it will be a few bucks for just the door system plus installation but the price seems to be the only negative involved.
Just sharing this idea and concept with everyone in case others had been thinking about how much better their garage door would be if they didn't take up that ceiling space. I do not have a hard time table on when I will be doing this but I will share photos when I do get the new carriage style garage door installed.
