How It’s Made: Bridgeport™ Steel
The Bridgeport™ Steel garage door is built with your home’s comfort and durability in mind. Choose from 1-, 2-, or 3-layer construction, each featuring heavy-duty steel inside and out. For extra comfort, select Intellicore® polyurethane insulation , Clopay’s proprietary foam that fills every inch of the door for maximum strength, warmth, and quiet operation. Or if you want something simpler, polystyrene insulation is also available for reliable energy efficiency.
Every panel is finished with a multi-layer rust-resistant system: hot-dipped galvanizing, a protective metal oxide pretreatment, and a baked-on primer and topcoat. This means your door stands up to rain, snow, and sun, year after year, with nominal upkeep.
Other features include a replaceable vinyl bottom seal to block drafts, patented Safe-T-Bracket® hardware for added safety, and removable window grilles for easy cleaning. All doors insulated with Intellicore® come standard with smooth-gliding nylon rollers and heavy-duty steel hinges for lasting performance.

Wrought Iron Short*
Bridgeport™ Steel doors are available with a solid top section or you can personalize your door with a variety of window options. Choose from simple rectangular or square windows, elegant arched designs, or even add a touch of drama with decorative wrought iron styles (available in durable acrylic).
If you want a bit more privacy, you can select from plain glass or grilles in several patterns, including vertical and horizontal styles. Double car doors have exclusive “double top” section designs for even more curb appeal. No matter your pick, every window option is designed to complement your door’s proportions and elevate your home’s exterior. So, you can let the light in, show off your style, or both.
*Acrylic window designs. Note for Double Top Sections: These are specific to double car doors, in addition to options above.
Customize your Bridgeport™ Steel door’s windows with specialty glass that fits your lifestyle and privacy needs. Choose classic clear glass for maximum sunlight and an open view or opt for decorative seeded or rain glass for a touch of texture and subtle privacy. Frosted and obscure glass both offer higher privacy while still letting in natural light which works well for keeping your garage bright but shielded from outside eyes. For a sleek, modern effect, Midnight Gray glass adds a dramatic tint that stands out day or night.
With these options, you can control the look and feel of your garage door’s windows. Just note: certain glass types may not be available with all window designs, so be sure to ask about your favorites when customizing your door.
From classic neutrals to bold statement shades, Bridgeport™ Steel offers a large color palette. Stick with standard White, Almond, Desert Tan, Sandtone, Bronze, Chocolate, Mocha Brown, or Charcoal, each with subtle woodgrain texture for a warm, natural appearance. Or explore premium finishes like deep Black or the richly grained Ultra-Grain® Oak, available in Medium, Dark, Slate, and Walnut, with select options in low gloss for a modern twist.
If you want something more contemporary, the Lustra™ collection brings noteworthy matte finishes in Charcoal, Black, and Silver, or try Iron Ore for a refined look. And if you want a shade that’s uniquely yours, the Color Blast® program lets you choose from over 1,500 custom colors.
Keep in mind: some premium and matte finishes are available only on select door models, so check which colors fit your design.

Colonial Strap Hinge
Complete your Bridgeport™ Steel door with hardware that’s as sturdy as it is stylish. Every door comes standard with color-matched lift handles, blending seamlessly into your chosen finish for a polished look. But if you want to add a little extra flair, there’s a range of decorative handle and hinge styles—spade, spear, or colonial—for you to consider.
Optional hardware is crafted from durable materials and finished to coordinate with your door, so everything feels cohesive and built to last. Add matching step plates for easy operation and an extra touch of detail. For a more distinctive look, upgrade to twisted “T” or “L” handles or select escutcheon plates for a refined finish.
These hardware options add curb appeal and bring out the best in your Bridgeport™ design, letting you personalize your garage door right down to the last detail.

Clopay Bridgeport™ Steel garage doors featuring Intellicore® insulation technology represent the ultimate smart choice for homeowners. Clopay’s Intellicore® insulation is a proprietary polyurethane foam that is injected into our Bridgeport™ Steel doors, expanding to fill the entire structure. The result is a door with incredible strength and durability.
Bridgeport™ Steel garage doors combine the traditional symmetry of wood stile and rail door designs without the upkeep and maintenance. Create a look that complements the overall look of your home by selecting the window design, color and decorative hardware to give it that one-of-a-kind look.
Clopay’s Ultra-Grain® finish delivers the best of both worlds: the realistic look of natural wood with the low maintenance and energy efficiency benefits of insulated steel. But unlike real wood, it’s UV-resistant and impervious to moisture, so it won’t fade, rot, split, shrink or crack, saving you and the environment material, energy and resources necessary to maintain or replace door components.
A garage door can represent as much as 30% of your home’s front façade, which makes
choosing the right design especially important — and Clopay has the widest selection available.
All of our Elite, Authorized, Master Authorized and Advanced Authorized Dealers offer a minimum 1 Year installation warranty on Clopay replacement doors.
Can Overhead Door of America install a Bridgeport Steel on my home?

What is the difference between the Bridgeport Steel and the Gallery Steel garage doors?
Both our Gallery® Steel and Bridgeport Steel garage doors offer a timeless look, with one key difference in style: Gallery Steel: A traditional raised panel with a grooved design. Bridgeport Steel: A traditional recessed panel with clean, simple lines. You can personalize either door with insulation, windows, and decorative hardware to complete the look.
