Are you a fan of garage doors fully made out of glass? Perhaps you’ve noticed them on Instagram, at your beloved café, or on a television design show.
You might believe that all-glass garage doors are just found in fashionable stores and eating establishments, but that isn’t accurate. These days, you can see them on bungalows, houses, and even refurbished barns. With a hint of head-turning panache, these doors are the ideal solution for creating indoor-outdoor spaces that everyone will love.

What you undoubtedly haven’t seen is a tiny garage door paired with an inventive idea!
How Did This Design Get Underway?
“Our clients are amazing people who spend a lot of time entertaining the people in their life. They’re also big fans of cooking elaborate meals. What they didn’t enjoy has having to take the plates, covers, and extras all the way from the gourmet kitchen to the door of the patio (which is in the dining room) and then out onto the deck.” – Christina Martin, designer
These customers wanted something a little bit unusual in the form of a door that could separate their three-season sunroom from the kitchen. However, they additionally wanted the space to offer a way to pass food through swiftly and effortlessly.
“ I didn’t know much about panoramic garage doors…or any garage doors at all, in all honesty. As soon as I walked into Crosby Garage Door, I met a team of intelligent, dedicated people who were happy to listen to all my ideas and then come up with a solution that was gorgeous and functional at the same time. ” – Christina Martin, designer
The truth is that when you buy a garage door of excellent quality, a standard size is relative. While we would note that the size of a Single garage door is 9’x7’and a Double garage door is 16’x7’, this is only a rough estimate. Instead, every garage door is made custom so that it fits the exact measurements that you need.
Garaga offers residential doors in various sizes from six to 12 feet high (in one or three-inch increments) and from four to 20 feet wide. It all comes down to what you need.
More About the Technical Aspect of Things
This diminutive but all-around garage door has some very fascinating technical specifications:
- Garage door dimensions : 48 X 56 inches
- Door model : California , surrounded by black for further detail
- Window type : Crystal clear tempered glass is situated on each edge of the door
- Hardware type : Dura+ with a torsion spring. The torsion spring is secreted in a wooden box uncovered above the door so that nobody sees it.
- Galvanized tracks and hinges : The door is finished with black enamel paint to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
You Can Even Add a Motor to a Small Garage Door!
You might not expect it, but this tiny garage door actually has a garage door opener. It uses the LiftMaster 8500 model. It’s a Jackshaft opener, and it can be installed right next to the door itself.
The Professional Corner: Both the garage door opener and the spring system are both hidden to increase space attractiveness.
You can’t see either of these things in the photos. That’s because even the door opener is concealed away in a kitchen cupboard.
A tricky way to hide all the extras! The door opener dimensions include:
- Height: 16 ¼ inches
- Width: 6 inches
- Depth: 6.85 inches
Something else innovative about this particular door is that it comes outfitted with MyQTM. This is the latest technology, and it lets you use the opener from a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet in any location.
