- Roll-up doors roll up and retract into your garage.
- Side hinge doors open from the center and open to either side.
- Side-sliding doors slide or roll to the side to open.
- Tilt-up doors are usually solid panels that lift to either provide a canopy outside your garage or retract into the interior.
