Garage Door Alternative

[mdistel]

I have a walk out basement with a garage door that is about 9' wide and almost 7' tall. I would like to replace the garage door with swinging doors at least 8' wide. My bro-in-law suggested steel commercial doors such as those made by Ceco or Steelcraft. I need to retain the ability to park a car inside but would like improved weather protection and no overhead tracks.

Has anyone gone this route? Any ideas on cost? I'm in Cleveland OH if that helps.

Why not check out the roll-up doors? http://www.usdoor.com/

If the doors would swing out, you may have a large problem after any snow or ice storms.

I thought about roll-up doors but I don't think they're insulated well and they take up lots of space comparred to swing-out doors.

The doors are recessed in about 12" plus there is a 24" soffit, snow doesn't pile up there and I'd have no reason to open the doors in the winter as this is my basement not my main garage.
