We are looking at 3 different garage doors for our house. This is a
replacement.

Clopay - 4050 Series
Wayne Dalton - 9600 Series
CHI - 2285 Series

What are the pros and cons of each.

There's not a whole lot of difference between the brands.

Look at the construction. You'll find doors that have:

1. A single sheet of steel

2. A single sheet of steel with insulation and a sheet
of plastic on the inside.

3. Doors with insulation sandwiched between two sheets
of steel. These are more rigid and stronger.

You may find some low cost doors with much thinner metal.
And some expensive commerical grade doors with a heavier
gauge of steel.

Around here (SF Bay Area) you'll get a better deal and
a better job from the smaller local door companies than
you will from Home Depot, Lowes.
