Reserve® Wood Collection — Semi-Custom Series
The same cedar carriage look without the insulated core. Lighter, cheaper, and exactly right on a detached garage that is never going to be heated.










These beautiful handcrafted wood carriage house doors give you charm and character with the convenience of an overhead door. Choose from six designs and three wood species that can be painted or stained to complement your style. Semi-custom wood doors have excellent curb appeal. As with all wood doors, the semi-custom series must be sealed and protected about every two years.

If the garage is detached, unheated, and used for a car and a lawnmower, an insulated core buys you very little. The money is better spent on the timber and the hardware, which is what you will actually look at. We would rather sell you the right door than the more expensive one.
Detached garages, workshops and unheated stores.
