What Are You Looking For?
The biggest distinction in overhead garage doors is residential versus commercial — they use different door types, different brands, and different installation requirements.
Residential
Replacing or upgrading a door on your home. Sectional steel, aluminum & glass, carriage house, or custom wood. Brands: CHI, Clopay, Amarr, Raynor, Wayne Dalton, Hörmann.
View residential options ↓Commercial
Warehouse, loading dock, self-storage, retail security, cold storage, or fire-rated. Rolling steel, high-speed, commercial sectional, security grilles. Brands: Janus, DBCI, Rytec, CornellCookson.
View commercial options ↓Residential Door Types
For homes, all four types below operate as sectional doors — panels on a curved track that fold up and store flat under the ceiling. The differences are in material, appearance, and price.
All Residential Installation →Sectional Steel
The residential standard. 3–4 insulated steel panels on a curved track fold up and store flat under the ceiling. Available in raised panel, flush, carriage-look, and full-view. Most common East Valley replacement.
Installation & brands →Aluminum & Glass
Thin aluminum frames hold large glass panels — clear, frosted, or tinted. Contemporary look popular in new Scottsdale and Mesa builds. Low-E glass options reduce solar heat gain. Rust-resistant in Arizona's climate.
Clopay Avante & Hörmann →Carriage House
Looks like classic swing-out barn doors but operates as a standard sectional. Decorative Z-brace, strap hinges, and raised panel detail. Available in steel or real wood. Popular in Chandler, Gilbert, and HOA communities.
CHI, Clopay, Raynor options →Custom Wood
Hand-built in-house from cedar (the right species for Arizona heat). Real wood — not composite or faux-wood steel. Fully custom sizing and design. ~5 week lead time from design approval.
Custom wood door details →Commercial Door Types
Commercial overhead doors use fundamentally different mechanisms from residential sectional doors. Ceiling clearance, cycle count, security requirements, and local code all drive the right selection. On Track handles all five types.
All Commercial Services →Rolling Steel / Coiling
Corrugated steel slats coil around a drum inside a hood above the opening. No horizontal track — minimal headroom required. The commercial standard for warehouses, loading docks, and self-storage. Available in 20–14 gauge steel.
Janus, DBCI, Asta America →Commercial Sectional
Same curved-track mechanism as residential but in 24-gauge or heavier steel with commercial-rated springs (100,000+ cycles). Used in auto dealerships, municipal facilities, and multi-use commercial buildings.
Commercial sectional details →High-Speed Doors
Fabric or Rytec Spiral doors at 60–125"/sec. Designed for cold storage, automotive service bays, and food processing where open dwell time costs money — either through energy loss or contamination risk.
Rytec high-speed doors →Fire-Rated Coiling
Same coiling mechanism as rolling steel but UL-listed for 1-hour, 3-hour, or 4-hour fire ratings. Fusible links or motorized operators close the door automatically under fire conditions. Required in many commercial occupancy separations.
Fire-rated door details →Security Grilles
Open lattice that coils up like a rolling steel door. Provides security while maintaining visibility and airflow — common in retail storefronts, malls, and open-air markets. Also available as counter shutters for banks and pharmacies.
Security shutter details →Residential Overhead Garage Doors
For nearly all Arizona homes, the right overhead door is a residential sectional door — horizontal panels on a curved track that stack under the ceiling when open. They accommodate standard openers, work with most ceiling heights, and are available in every style from basic raised panel to full-view aluminum and glass.
Arizona's climate creates specific demands that matter when selecting a door. South- and west-facing garage walls accumulate significant heat in summer. An uninsulated steel door can reach 150°F on its interior face, transferring heat directly into an attached garage and the living space above. Insulation R-value and the presence of a thermal break at panel joints meaningfully reduces that load.
UV exposure also degrades paint, weatherstripping, and rubber seals faster in Arizona than in cooler climates. On Track recommends factory-finish painted steel over field-painted doors for longevity, and full perimeter weatherstripping replacement every 3–5 years in Phoenix-area conditions.
Material Comparison for Arizona Homes
| Material | Best R-Value | Arizona Durability | Price Range (installed, 16×7) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steel (insulated) | R-6 to R-18 | Excellent | $2,200 – $5,300 | Most popular. Polyurethane foam outperforms polystyrene in desert heat. |
| Steel (uninsulated) | None | Good | $1,200 – $2,600 | Budget option. Not recommended for attached garages — significant heat transfer. |
| Aluminum & Glass | R-4 to R-8 | Excellent | $3,000 – $6,500+ | Rust-resistant. Low-E glass reduces solar heat gain. Popular in Scottsdale/modern builds. |
| Custom Wood (Cedar) | R-4 to R-8 | Good with maintenance | $3,000 – $10,000 | Cedar is the right species for AZ heat. Requires refinishing every 3–5 years. |
| Composite / Faux Wood | R-6 to R-14 | Very Good | $2,000 – $4,500 | Wood look without maintenance. Clopay Canyon Ridge is a strong AZ option. |
Residential Brand Comparison
| Brand | Best Insulation | Panel Warranty | Price Tier | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CHI Overhead Doors | R-18 (3-layer) | Limited Lifetime | Mid–Premium | Wide style range, strong East Valley availability |
| Clopay | R-18 (Intellicore) | Limited Lifetime | Mid–Premium | Best faux-wood (Canyon Ridge), strong insulation in desert heat |
| Amarr | R-14 (3-layer) | Limited Lifetime | Entry–Mid | Good value, Heritage carriage style popular in AZ HOA communities |
| Raynor | R-17 (NeuFoam) | Lifetime (Masterpiece) | Mid–Premium | NeuFoam performs well in extreme heat; Masterpiece series is top-tier |
| Wayne Dalton | R-12 (ThermoStar) | Limited Lifetime | Entry–Mid | Torquemaster spring system is safer; good for budget-conscious replacement |
| Hörmann | R-23 (LPU 42) | 10-year | Premium | German engineering, highest R-value in the market, flush modern designs |
Commercial Overhead Doors
On Track is a full-service commercial overhead door contractor — not just a residential shop. We install, service, and replace every type of commercial overhead door across Arizona, from single loading docks to large distribution facilities.
Rolling Steel / Coiling Doors
Corrugated steel curtain that coils around a drum above the opening — no horizontal track required. The commercial standard for warehouses, loading docks, self-storage, and any application with limited headroom. We carry Janus International, DBCI, Asta America, and CornellCookson with gauge options from 20 to 14.
Commercial Sectional Doors
Heavy-gauge steel panel sections designed for high cycle counts in commercial environments. Track-mounted like residential sectional doors but built to 24-gauge or heavier steel with commercial-rated springs rated for 100,000+ cycles. Used in auto dealerships, municipal facilities, and multi-use commercial buildings.
High-Speed Doors
Rytec Spiral and fabric roll-up doors opening at 60–125 inches per second. Every second a conventional door is open bleeds conditioned air or contaminates clean zones. High-speed doors reduce HVAC costs in cold storage, cut cycle time in busy service bays, and maintain separation in food-grade facilities.
Fire-Rated & Specialty Doors
UL-listed fire-rated coiling doors (1-hour, 3-hour, and 4-hour ratings) with fusible links or motorized operators for automatic closure under fire conditions. Also security grilles for retail storefronts and counter shutters for banks, pharmacies, and service counters. We install to IBC and NFPA code requirements.
