Steel Garage Doors
Eagan’s Source for Traditional Steel Doors from Overhead Door
Steel is the most widely used residential garage door material in the United States, and for good reason. It resists warping, cracking, and insect damage, handles Minnesota’s wide temperature swings without complaint, and requires far less upkeep than wood. Whether you want a traditional raised-panel look or a carriage-house aesthetic, steel delivers lasting performance in a style that works with almost any home exterior.
Overhead Door Company of the Northland is the Minneapolis–St. Paul area’s only authorized distributor of genuine Overhead Door Company products. That means Eagan homeowners get direct access to the full Traditional Steel lineup, backed by more than 25 years of local experience. Over 82% of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals, and we offer free, pressure-free consultations with honest quotes and no surprises.
Panel Designs, Colors, & Configuration Options
The Overhead Door Traditional Steel line (Models 1400 through 1600) gives Eagan homeowners a wide range of choices without the complexity of sourcing from multiple vendors. Panels come in three designs: Standard, Long Panel, and Vertical Short (V5). Every door in the line features an embossed wood grain texture and pinch-resistant panels.
Five standard colors are available: White, Almond, Brown, Taupe/Sandstone, and Black. Doors can also be painted to match your home’s existing exterior. Window styles include Clear Short, Prairie, Cascade, Sherwood, Stockton, Williamsburg, and Arched Stockton, available in clear, obscure, and bronze glass. Window additions bring natural light into the garage and add real curb appeal.
Looking for a carriage-house style? Steel carriage house doors operate as modern sectional doors on standard tracks while delivering the visual warmth of traditional swing-out barn doors through overlays, decorative hardware, and panel design. They suit craftsman, farmhouse, and transitional exteriors well.
Insulation, R-Values, & Construction Quality
Minnesota winters make thermal performance a real consideration, not a marketing add-on. The Traditional Steel line includes insulated options with independently tested performance data through the DASMA Thermal Performance Verification Program, with U-factor values verified per ANSI/DASMA 105.
All Traditional Steel doors are built with hot-dipped galvanized steel and two coats of baked-on polyester paint, giving the finish real resistance to rust and corrosion. A bulb-type bottom weatherseal guards against wind and rain at the base. Multi-layer construction adds structural rigidity and reduces noise from street traffic and weather.
Installation by IDEA-Certified Technicians
The door matters, but so does who installs it. Every technician at Overhead Door Company of the Northland holds IDEA certification as a Commercial Sectional Door Systems Technician and goes through ongoing training, drug testing, and background checks. Three of our technicians hold the Automated Access Systems Master Technician designation from IDEA, the highest-level certification in the door and access systems industry.
Our consultations are free, honest, and pressure-free. You’ll get a real quote based on your home’s specific needs, not a ballpark designed to get you in the door. Contact us online or call (651) 381-5807 to get started!

What insulation options are available for commercial sectional steel doors?
We offer insulated panel options with R-values up to 17.5 on standard ThermaCore models and up to R-26 on the advanced-performance Model 850, which helps regulate interior temperatures in Minnesota facilities that are heated or cooled year-round. Non-insulated doors are also available where thermal performance isn’t a factor. The right insulation level depends on how the facility is used, how frequently the door cycles, and whether conditioned air needs to be maintained near the opening.
