What do you call a garage door?

You're kidding.

Before PC many called it a man door

I beg to differ with you this time my learned, spell checking friend.

Man Door?
Trans Door?

I suspect many other appraisers not just me who have never gave second thought of the correct door opening names.

Most appraisers know what is what and don't have to think about it

Thanks Mike.
I never heard of that term. Learn something new today.
What am I do without you.

Never heard of that term? BS. To claim a brain-**** and not remember what it's called is one thing. To be an appraiser and claim to have never heard of the term 'overhead door'? Pure BS, but not surprising.

Personnel door

Service door. Its on every set of building plans I've ever encountered.

Basically you will see five types of doors on a garage. What they are called may vary regionally around the Country.
- passage door: typical personal entry door usually 30” to 42” wide and 80” to 96” high
- roll-up: generally smaller in size and most frequently used in yard sheds and self-storage buildings
- sliding/barn doors: generally covering larger openings on agricultural and commercial buildings
- overhead: most common style garage door used in residential and smaller applications
- horizontal bi-fold: typical used on airplane hangers

Now if the door is really large and doesn’t fit into one of these categories you could call it a portable wall. And remember a picture is worth a 1,000 words.

Generally, I include between 20 and 40 pictures in my appraisals. It is a lot easier to provide a short description along with a picture than to write a paragraph trying to explain what I have observed.

Thank you for the clarification.
So Mike wasn't making it up. It's really called an overhead door.
And I like passage door. Now my reports will have better terms for garage doors. Thanks.

Yea passage door. Underwiter stip, passage to what. Starting to have too many rambling thoughts here. Sign of passage to old age

New uad3.6 the front passage is on ground level. The passage through this post has been enduring of a mental institue stay.

Car passage door for car storage space. Woke enough.

Instead, you would like to call it the master door.

Which begs the question, WTF were you calling them up to now

Correct, master house, master bedroom, master garage for the while tesla. Works in my world.

chatgpt:

On a residential dwelling, the thing that goes up and down where you park a vehicle is most commonly called a:

Garage Door​

This is the large door that opens—either by lifting up, rolling up, or swinging out—to allow a car into a garage. It can be:

• Manual or automatic (motorized with a remote or wall switch)
• Overhead sectional door (most common)
• Roll-up door
• Tilt-up door

​

OMG.

The starter was ridiculous enough to begin with. Without another lazy minded person having to ask some online robot for advice on the matter.

Get a damned dictionary out and quit dialing in AI nonsense.

Humanity deserves to be doomed with this junk. (serve up emoticon and bulletpoints here)
