RobertL formulated on Friday :
When I was a lad, our garage door was hinged across the top. When you opened
it, it did not use up any space inside the garage.

They don't seem to make these any mo garage doors either lift up entirely
into the roof space or sit with 2/3 in and 1/3 out.

Is there a good reason why people don't top-hinge them any more? For a
garage that is really a workshop it would seem ideal, leaving all the roof
space for storing 'stuff'.

I have never seen a top hinged one, I would imagine it would take quite
a lot of counter balancing. A modern roller design, with a concentric
motor, fits in a tiny space and leaves all of the roof space clear.
