Wayne Dalton Model 7400 – Carriage House Style Wood Garage Doors
The Wayne Dalton Model 7400 series offers timeless elegance with true carriage house styling in handcrafted wood construction. Built for homeowners who appreciate architectural authenticity, these garage doors enhance traditional, historical, or high-end homes. Dynamic Garage Doors Inc. proudly installs Model 7400 doors across Palatine, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, and all of Chicagoland.
Authentic Wood Construction
The Model 7400 garage door is built with a four-layer construction: a fine wood face, insulated core, internal frame, and interior panel. This multi-layered design provides durability, insulation, and a premium finish that mimics historic carriage house doors. Each door is hand-assembled using fine craftsmanship and high-quality lumber.
Available Wood Species
Homeowners can choose from several beautiful wood types, including:
- Hemlock
- Western Red Cedar
- Douglas Fir
- Meranti Mahogany
Each wood species offers unique grain patterns, tones, and characteristics that can be stained or painted to match exterior elements like shutters, siding, or entry doors.
Custom Panel Styles and Designs
The Model 7400 is available in eight distinct designs, each offering custom window arrangements and overlay options:
- Arden
- Chateau
- Estate
- Mission
- Orleans
- Palladian
- Provincial
- Victorian
Each style evokes a different architectural tradition, allowing homeowners to choose a design that matches the character of their home.
Stain-Grade and Paint-Grade Finishes
Model 7400 wood garage doors are delivered sanded and ready for stain or paint. Stain-grade options highlight the natural wood grain, while paint-grade finishes provide a solid, uniform appearance. Optional factory priming is available for easier on-site finishing. Dynamic Garage Doors Inc. offers guidance on stain and paint selection for a flawless final result.
Insulation and Energy Performance
The polystyrene insulation core in Model 7400 garage doors helps reduce temperature fluctuations inside the garage. This is especially beneficial for attached garages or those used as workshops or hobby spaces. The layered wood construction also adds sound dampening and structural reinforcement.
Window Options
Customize the top section of your Model 7400 door with window inserts such as:
- 6-lite or 8-lite arched windows
- Square tops
- Vertical mullions
- Clear, obscure, or insulated glass options
Each window design adds elegance and allows natural light into the garage while maintaining the door’s structural integrity.
Decorative Hardware
Enhance the traditional carriage house appearance with optional hardware including:
- Strap hinges
- Lift handles
- Clavos (decorative nails)
Available in black wrought iron, stainless, or custom finishes, these accessories are both functional and historically accurate.
