This is relevant to my interest. I've been looking for a long time, and as a DIYer it pains me to pay anybody to do anything, but I can't turn up anything useful in my searches. I'm thinking I've just got to bite the bullet and get a garage door company out here.

The seals rarely work well.
The 'man door' is simply not rigid enough to seal well at the edges. |

Does anyone still make the one peice garage doors that were around 20+ years ago?
Other than that cut an opening for a door in one of the walls, you would have to add a header but it is not too much work. Unless it's a brick garage. Then it's still doable, just more work. |

I would look into adding a door to your garage rather than replace the garage door with one that has a man door (and I'm not a fan of them from a security standpoint).
For the trash cans, can you build a small lean-to or cabinet to put them in outside the garage? Rubber Maid makes a plastic one if you want a quick alternative. |

I would happily go thought all of the hassle and expense of framing out / installing a nice commercial grade exterior door on my garage long before I considered a flimsy man door. A traditional door is going to be less expensive and more secure in the end. |
