Important Notes About Your Garage Door’s Decorative Hardware Placement
Placement of Strap Hinges
Often, it makes more sense to place the strap hinges at the top of the bottom section as opposed to the very bottom of the door. This can be seen in the picture to the right. We’ll check with you where you want them placed while we’re installing your door.
Decorative Bottom Handles
Most Clopay carriage house style doors include a bottom step plate (a horizontal handle) for the bottom of the door. Most other door manufacturers do not supply a decorative bottom handle like this. We install decorative bottom handles when they come with the door.
