About the SteelHouse Series
Most "carriage house" steel doors fake the look with a stamped pattern. The Original SteelHouse Door builds it: true dimensional steel overlays — four-inch-wide, two-sided steel insulated boards — bonded to the door face with adhesive AND screws, over the industry's heaviest 23-gauge steel sections. Add the exclusive RITS(TM) Reinforced Integral Truss System (I-beam center stiles engineered to reinforce sections) and standard CFC-free polystyrene insulation, and you get a carriage door with the depth of wood, the weight discipline of steel, and virtually no maintenance.
The design math is what sells it in HOA country: nine base designs — Andover, Bradford, Cascade, Essex, Pinehurst, Ranchero, Sage Creek, Tehama, and Woodview — with 15+ designer top sections and arched window options combine into more than 200 unique configurations. Your door doesn't have to match the three neighbors who bought from the same tract builder. Factory colors are White, Black, and Almond, and the doors take field paint well when a custom scheme is the plan (several homes in Safe-Way's own gallery are painted post-production to match).
SteelHouse is a genuinely Arizona-born product — engineered by 1st United Door Technologies in Tempe before Safe-Way acquired the company in 2023 — so it was designed from day one for desert sun. Want the same construction in a modern face? That's the SteeLite Series. Prefer a wood-look carriage door? Compare the Aristocrat Monarch at the same consultation.

Key Features
True Steel Overlays, Not Stamps
Four-inch-wide, two-sided steel insulated overlay boards bonded with adhesive and screws — real dimensional depth that a stamped pattern can't fake.
Industry's Heaviest 23-Gauge Steel
The Original SteelHouse Door is the heaviest-gauged steel door in its class, with strength and integrity unmatched by similar products.
RITS Reinforced Integral Truss System
Exclusive I-beam center stiles engineered to reinforce sections, doors, and components — designed for the professional door installer.
200+ Unique Configurations
Nine models and 15+ designer top sections combine into more than 200 configurations — diversity from one home to the next, and one subdivision to the next.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Safe-Way's SteelHouse brochure states a limited lifetime warranty on the door — we confirm the current itemized terms with the distributor and include them in your quote packet.
Construction & Insulation
- Rugged 23-gauge steel sections — the industry's heaviest-gauge steel carriage overlay door.
- True steel carriage-house overlays: 4-inch-wide, two-sided steel insulated boards bonded with adhesive and screws.
- Exclusive RITS(TM) Reinforced Integral Truss System with I-beam center stiles.
- CFC-free polystyrene insulation standard; significantly lighter than comparable wood doors.
Panel Styles
Safe-Way offers this collection in more than one panel design. The designs are shown below so you can see how each one reads, and when we quote the door for your home in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, or anywhere in the Phoenix area, we'll help you pick the one that suits your stucco and trim.
Window & Glass Options
Windows are the design choice that changes a garage door most. Safe-Way offers a deep catalog of insert styles and glass finishes for this collection — arched toppers, rows of small panes, clean modern grids, tinted or privacy glass. The window and glass brochures in the Downloads section below show every insert style and glass finish full size, and we'll walk the options with you at your Phoenix-area consultation before you commit.
Window Insert Styles
Decorative Hardware
Safe-Way's decorative hardware kits — hinge straps, pull handles, knockers, and clavos — are hand-forged black powder-coated steel with a hammered look. On a carriage-house door especially, they're what turn a good-looking door into a signature front-of-house detail. If a kit isn't shown here, ask us — Safe-Way makes more styles than we can fit on one page, and we'll help you match a kit to your door at the consultation.
Color Options
Safe-Way factory-bakes these finishes onto the steel — a different animal than any painted-on-site touch-up. That matters in Arizona, where UV and heat chew up field paint fast.
Warranty
Every Safe-Way SteelHouse Series ships with the Safe-Way Consolidated Residential Warranty. Here’s what’s covered — and for how long — on the standard-build SteelHouse Series configuration.
- Safe-Way's published SteelHouse brochure states a limited lifetime warranty on the door — the distributor holds the itemized terms, and we print the current version for your files at install
- Hinges, rollers, track, springs & similar hardware (all Safe-Way door models)
Coverage shown is for the standard build. Sub-tier and premium options may modify specific line items — ask Farnsworth for the exact terms on your configuration before purchase.
Safe-Way's published SteelHouse brochure states a limited lifetime warranty on the door and directs buyers to the distributor for the itemized terms; SteelHouse is not listed in the consolidated Warranty Information document. Hardware carries the 3-year coverage. We confirm the current terms for your specific build and put the exact language in your quote packet.
Warranty terms change over time. Riley’s team can print the current version of your specific warranty for your files at install.
Installing Your Safe-Way SteelHouse Series in Queen Creek & the Phoenix Metro
Why Farnsworth is Your Local Safe-Way Installer
Farnsworth Garage Door Service is an active local Safe-Way dealer serving Mesa and the greater Phoenix area, and every install is handled by our in-house install team — not sub-contracted out. We carry Arizona ROC license #351810 and full commercial insurance, and our office answers the phone locally — no call-center runaround, no offshore booking system.
Because we install Safe-Way doors as our day job, our team knows the quirks of every collection — the wind-load spec new Queen Creek and Maricopa builds require, the right insulation tier for a west-facing Scottsdale garage (that’s where the Ambient Series’ R-17.68 polyurethane core earns its keep), and which Estate or Gentry window layout clears a low-headroom opening. When you buy a Safe-Way door from Farnsworth, you get a local installer who has installed the same collection dozens of times.
How the Install Works
-
Free in-home consultation
A Farnsworth installer walks the opening with you, measures, talks through the colors and options, and hands you a written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
-
Precise measurement
We measure the width, height, headroom, and side-room of your existing opening to spec the exact door build for your home — no surprises on install day.
-
Removal & haul-away of your old door
On install day our team removes your old door, cleans up the driveway, and hauls the old sections away. It's always included in the written quote — never a separate line item.
-
New Safe-Way door installation
Farnsworth's in-house install team sets your new Safe-Way SteelHouse Series — track, torsion, panels, opener drawback, and safety-sensor alignment. No sub-contractors.
-
Final tuning & walkthrough
Balance check, tension set, and a walkthrough of how your new door and opener work — remote, keypad, safety reverse, and manual release.
After the Install
Farnsworth doesn't disappear after install day. If something needs adjusting — a track alignment, a rattle, an opener travel-limit tweak — give us a call and we come back out. We offer courtesy tune-ups to keep the door running quietly, and we handle warranty service for both the Safe-Way door itself and the install workmanship. If a part needs replacing under warranty, we coordinate the claim with Safe-Way for you.
That's the "buy with confidence" side of buying from a local dealer instead of a national chain: one number to call for service, one team that knows your install, one relationship. Most of our Safe-Way installs turn into repeat customers — opener replacements, second-door installs, and the referrals that follow.
Farnsworth installs Safe-Way Safe-Way SteelHouse Series across the Phoenix metro: Mesa (home base), Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Tempe, Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, San Tan Valley, Maricopa, and Guadalupe.

Common Safe-Way SteelHouse Series Configurations
Most of the Safe-Way SteelHouse Series installs we do across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area fall into one of these two openings. Yours might be different — we measure at the free in-home consultation and quote the exact size for your home.
Two-car SteelHouse Series install
Approx. 16' wide × 7' or 8' tall
The single 16-foot two-car door is the most common configuration on Phoenix-area homes. On a two-car SteelHouse Series, we recommend a SteelHouse build with designer top-section windows — over 200 unique configurations across the nine designs for any attached garage — the extra insulation makes a real difference on the wall the garage shares with your bedroom or living room. True steel carriage-house overlay designs — the only carriage overlay door built from rugged 23-gauge steel scales cleanly across the wider opening, and you can dial in the exact color and one of 15+ designer top sections and arched window options that matches your home.
One-car SteelHouse Series install
Approx. 8' or 9' wide × 7' tall
Common on townhomes, casita conversions, and homes with a two-single-door layout instead of one wide door. For a one-car SteelHouse Series, one of nine SteelHouse designs (Andover, Bradford, Cascade, Essex, Pinehurst, Ranchero, Sage Creek, Tehama, Woodview) with true steel overlays and the RITS truss system is the practical default — enough performance for an attached garage without paying for the top-tier build on a smaller door. Same true steel carriage-house overlay designs — the only carriage overlay door built from rugged 23-gauge steel, same color palette, same warranty as the two-car version — just a narrower opening.
Replace, Upgrade, or New Construction
We install the Safe-Way SteelHouse Series across three scenarios most homeowners in the Phoenix area come to us for — whether you're replacing a door that's finally given up, upgrading from a builder-grade panel, or specifying doors on new construction.
Replace an aging door with the Safe-Way SteelHouse Series
Your existing door is 15-30 years old, the panels are dented or faded, the springs are cycling through their last thousand openings, and the annual repair calls are stacking up. We remove the old door, hardware, and tracks, install the new Safe-Way SteelHouse Series with all-new hardware, re-set the torsion springs to the correct IPPT for the door weight, program your existing opener (or install a new one), and haul the old door away the same day. Free written quote on the front end, local Safe-Way dealer relationship on the back end.
Upgrade to the Safe-Way SteelHouse Series
You're moving from a flat stamped-panel door on a home whose elevation calls for real carriage-house depth — SteelHouse is the standard in steel carriage doors — real dimensional steel overlays (not a stamped illusion) bonded with adhesive and screws, 23-gauge sections, the RITS Reinforced Integral Truss System, and a lifetime warranty against overlay delamination. It clears HOA review while out-detailing every stamped competitor on the street. Your upgrade path also includes the standard CFC-free polystyrene insulated base door — insulation is built in on SteelHouse — the tier we specify most often on attached Phoenix-area garages because the thermal payback shows up on every July and August electric bill.
New construction Safe-Way SteelHouse Series
Building a new custom home or handling a major renovation? Safe-Way SteelHouse Series factory lead time is factory-order lead times vary by configuration — we confirm a real delivery date with your written quote, so we build the order timing into your construction schedule. Rough-opening walkthrough before drywall, coordinated install once the door opening is dried in, and we work directly with builders and owners across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area.
How Much Does an Safe-Way SteelHouse Series Cost, and What Determines the Price?
Every Safe-Way SteelHouse Series we install in the Phoenix area is custom-configured to your specific home, so there isn't a single sticker price we can post that will actually match the door you end up with. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number — six factors, in plain English, so you can walk into the conversation with your eyes open instead of guessing at online ranges from companies that have never seen your opening.
Rather than a generic range that won't match your home, we send a local Safe-Way dealer out to your driveway, measure your opening, walk you through the panel, insulation, color, window, and hardware choices, and hand you a written itemized quote. Free, no obligation, no pressure. Here are the six inputs we work through together.
The installed price on any Safe-Way SteelHouse Series in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, Tempe, and the wider Phoenix area depends on the six factors below. We walk each one with you in person and put the result in writing.
Size
Door size
Single-car, double-car, and oversized openings each carry their own material and hardware footprint — the single biggest driver of installed price.
Insulation
Insulation tier
Single-, double-, or triple-layer construction. Higher tiers cost more up front and pay back all summer in cooler garages across Mesa, Phoenix, and Chandler.
Windows
Window options
The number of windows, glass style, and upgrades like Frost, Dark Tint, obscure texture, or insulated glazing all shift the number on your quote.
Hardware
Decorative hardware
Optional handles, straps, and hinges dial up curb appeal — they're a la carte, so you only pay for the pieces you actually want on the door.
Wind Load
Wind-load reinforcement
Safe-Way's engineered wind-load builds (rated for 120, 130, and 140 mph design wind speeds) for Arizona monsoon straight-line winds, HOA standards, or homeowners insurance requirements add material to the build.
Included
Removal & haul-away
Farnsworth's written quote always includes removing your old door, cleaning up your driveway, and hauling the old sections away — not a separate line item.
HOA & architectural approval ready. Safe-Way's carriage-house designs are widely accepted in Arizona HOA communities — Silverleaf, DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Verde River, Val Vista Lakes, Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch, and more. Farnsworth handles your architectural review paperwork if your HOA requires it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a SteelHouse carriage garage door cost installed?
The design (nine models), top-section windows, door size, and any field-paint plan all move the number. SteelHouse sits in the premium-carriage band — below real wood, above stamped steel — and we quote it with a free written itemized estimate after measuring your opening.
What makes SteelHouse different from a stamped carriage-house door?
Dimension. Stamped doors press a carriage pattern into flat steel; SteelHouse bonds real four-inch-wide, two-sided steel overlay boards to the door face with adhesive and screws. From the driveway you see actual depth and shadow — the same reason wood carriage doors look right — with none of the wood maintenance.
Will a SteelHouse door pass my HOA's architectural review?
It's one of the easiest carriage doors to get approved — dimensional carriage styling in insulated steel, with 200+ configurations so your submittal doesn't match the neighbor's. Farnsworth prepares the architectural paperwork for communities like Power Ranch, Morrison Ranch, Seville, and Encanterra as part of the quote.
What colors does SteelHouse come in?
White, Black, and Almond from the factory — and the doors take field paint well when a custom scheme is the plan (several homes in Safe-Way's own brochure are painted post-production to complement the house). We'll walk both routes at your consultation.
Is SteelHouse insulated?
Yes — every Original SteelHouse Door comes standard with CFC-free polystyrene insulation, and the overlay boards themselves are steel-faced insulated panels. Combined with 23-gauge sections and the RITS truss system, it's a solid, quiet, thermally sensible carriage door.
What is the RITS system on a SteelHouse door?
RITS is the exclusive Reinforced Integral Truss System — I-beam center stiles engineered to reinforce the sections, the door, and its components. It's the structural backbone that lets SteelHouse run the industry's heaviest 23-gauge steel without weight problems.
What warranty does a SteelHouse door carry?
Safe-Way's SteelHouse brochure states a limited lifetime warranty on the door, with the itemized terms held by the distributor — so rather than guess at the fine print, we confirm the current language for your exact build and put it in your quote packet. Hardware carries Safe-Way's 3-year coverage.
Is SteelHouse really an Arizona-designed door?
Yes — SteelHouse was engineered by 1st United Door Technologies in Tempe, Arizona, which served Western homeowners from 1999 until Safe-Way acquired the company in 2023. The door was designed in and for the desert Southwest, which is exactly where we're installing it.

Local Mesa-based family business
Brigham and Riley Farnsworth run the company — brothers, both hands-on in the field and the office. The Farnsworth family name has been part of the East Valley business community for 60+ years, so you're hiring people whose reputation actually lives in these neighborhoods.
Local Safe-Way dealer
Farnsworth is an active local Safe-Way dealer serving Mesa and the greater Phoenix area. Every Safe-Way door we install is ordered factory-direct through our dealer account — no third-party distributor, no rotating retailer, no sub-contracted install crew.
Multi-brand dealer
We're dealers for Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Invicta, and Safe-Way — five of the top residential garage door manufacturers in North America. That means we recommend the door that actually fits your home, not the one brand we're forced to push. If a different manufacturer is the better call for your project, we'll tell you.
Free written quote, no pressure
Every Safe-Way consultation is free. We measure your opening, walk the color and hardware options with you, and hand you a written itemized quote before you commit to anything.
Own the whole workflow, end to end
Measurement, factory order, install-day coordination, and after-install warranty support all live under our roof. The team that measures your opening is the team installing your door and the team you call if anything ever needs adjusting. No subcontractors, no rotating crews, no handoffs.
We service what we install
A garage door is a 20-year relationship, not a one-and-done sale. Farnsworth stays your service company for the life of the door — tune-ups, spring replacements, opener repairs, warranty claims. One number to call, one team that knows your install.
Licensed, insured, background-checked
Arizona ROC-licensed (License #351810), fully insured, and every crew member is background-checked before they set foot on your driveway. Not the license number of a national franchise — our own name on the license, our own team on the truck.

Farnsworth offers flexible financing on every install and repair job over $500, across all four brands we carry — so you can pick the exact door, insulation tier, hardware, and windows you’d choose if budget wasn’t in the way.
Most homeowners qualify with a soft credit check that doesn’t affect your credit score. Fill out our short financing application — takes about two minutes to submit — and you’ll know your approval and monthly payment options before you finalize your quote. No pressure, no obligation.
