What do you call a garage door?

[Mile High Trout]

If you're happy with that answer then why did you ask? I'll tell you when it makes a difference, when you flag one of those doors for an FHA MPR repair. Then you're going to have to tell some realtor which door you meant by "garage door", overhead or personnel.

I don't think you understand what's really going on here...

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)

Hey, Mr. Know It All. Didn't see your post to end all post.
You just love to criticize and whine.

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.

There is also dock doors on many industrial buildings. I also use the term entry door: The entry doors to the office portion of the building are insulated glass with aluminum frames. The building has a 12' x 14' overhead door in the middle of the west elevation of the building. The west elevation also includes two 8’x10’ doors with a loading dock.

This sounded like Joe Dirt in my head when I read it.
