Garage doors have evolved throughout the centuries, with the earliest garage doors dating back thousands of years. Carriage house garage doors are considered the original garage door, which featured two separate doors that swing outward from the middle. Because the original carriage-style garage doors had difficulty opening due to being blocked by ice and snow, in 1921 the first overhead garage door was invented.
With new garage door innovations in place, the carriage garage doors of today continue to hold on to their old-world charm without the hassles of their dated design. Let’s take a moment to pay homage to carriage doors and help you figure out if this style of garage door can complement your home in both form and function.
What is a Carriage House Garage Door?
Carriage house garage doors are exactly as the name sounds. Even before the creation of the automobile, carriage house doors were originally created to safely house a horse and buggy on large estates. Much like a barn or guest cottage, these small houses featured wide, large swinging wooden doors for carriages to easily enter and were mostly for the elite.
Thankfully, the days of horse and carriage transportation are well behind us. But the style, look, and feel of carriage garage doors has been re-imagined to outfit the newer homes of today.
Different Carriage Garage Door Materials
The garage doors of today come in a wide range of materials, configurations, and finishes. The same goes for the modern version of carriage-style garage doors. You’ll want to consider what material will best compliment the look and style of your property. Cloplay, one of the leading garage door manufacturers, make carriage house garage doors to suit a variety of tastes.

What Style of Home Looks Best With a Carriage Style Garage Door?
Top garage door manufacturers have spent countless hours of time and energy in crafting carriage garage doors to suit a variety of exteriors and design aesthetics. Is the design of your home an ideal match for a new carriage garage door installation?
- Tudor – Outfit your Tudor style home with a carriage style garage door to accentuate the pitched roofs and uniquely shaped windows. You can even work with your garage door company to get a custom design so that it fits in effortlessly with the rest of the exterior.
- Craftsman & Bungalows – Installing a typical garage door on the timeless and hip architectural features of a Craftsman or Bungalow would completely take away from the overall look and style of the exterior.
