Garage Doors?

LTCSZ

Hi: What parts do I need to build garage doors with "overhead" type opening doors? I know I need the small parts that fold, but what type of door frame do I need? Thanks...

Did you really mean:

Horizontal: Brick, Modified 1 x 4 with Groove

Nope. The part he linked is correct
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4217

It is the part that allows the garage door to "roll" into the horizontal position.

Yup, I blew it. When I followed his link, I ended up on the bricks, modified page, and didn't see the 1 x 14. Thank you.

Hi: What part do I need to mount the simple one piece garage door 6155? Thanks...

I don't know if the Brickset database lists it the same as Bricklink since it is currently having trouble but it is
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6154

... and on Bricklink you can see on the page for 6154 underneath the color section it lists Fits with 6155. The page for 6155 lists 6154. Not all parts that go with other things are listed but it is usually pretty good.

That is an awfully tiny garage door, are you building a mini mod? remember that 6155 part only is about 3/2 studs wide. It is meant more as a storage entry than anything i believe

Thanks for the info...I did not realize it was so small...(Size does matter, I guess!) But, I am sure I will be able to use it somewhere!

^ They are often used as truck / train / fire engine doors. Anywhere you need a cargo access point. Such as this fire truck ...

What sort of mounting arrangement do I need for Sliding Door Part 4511 Type 1?

Thanks,

Steve

Usually part #4510 is used for it. One on top and one on bottom to slide it.

Thanks!
