Service Doors in Garages
The side door of a garage, known as a service door, allows outside access into a garage. It can come pre-hung with frames, hinges, and hardware for quick installation, or without frames for custom installations.
The cost of adding a service door typically ranges from $600 to $2,500. Installing a steel fire door between a garage and house can cost between $700 and $1,100. Fire doors provide access between the garage and house.
Types of Garage Doors
There are three main types of garage doors: sectional, roll-up, and side-hinged. Sectional doors have interconnected panels that lift and store horizontally, roll-up doors slide up and wrap around a barrel, and side-hinged doors swing outward on hinges like traditional doors.
Side-hinged garage doors, also known as service doors, offer convenience, ventilation, and energy savings. They come pre-hung or without frames, with costs ranging from $600 to $2,500. Fire doors between garages and houses are typically priced between $700 and $1,100.
