An Inupiaq village on the upper Kobuk River, a short way upstream from Shungnak, in spruce country south of the Brooks Range. We are a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, shipping new garage doors and commercial overhead doors to Kobuk. We ship the door, not a crew: your order is supply and ship, and you or your own contractor takes delivery at the local terminal and installs it.
Shipping to Kobuk
A garage door is the biggest moving part of a house, and Kobuk deserves a real choice, not just what is on hand. We are a Kent, Washington Clopay Master Authorized Dealer, and we get Kobuk the right door specced, crated and on its way north.
Kobuk is small, and that makes every working building count. The equipment shop, the school and storage for tools, parts and village vehicles need overhead doors that keep cold out and still roll up after weeks of deep freeze. At home, an insulated garage door keeps a snowmachine ready, and riverbank ground that heaves with frost calls for seals that close any gap.
Most Kobuk River orders go out as insulated Intellicore steel, and carriage-house, glass, custom wood and commercial overhead doors ship just as easily. Alaska Marine Lines lists Kobuk under its Kotzebue port of service on its Western Alaska and Arctic run, a summer season of roughly April through October, so timing the order to that window matters. Whichever way it travels, your door ships freight collect: we quote the door, the carrier bills you for the shipping, and you pay the real cost.
How it works
Tell us the opening size and the look you want, or try designs on a photo of your home with the EZDoor visualizer. We confirm the exact spec.
You get an itemized quote for the door itself. Shipping is freight collect, so the freight carrier bills you directly, with no markup from us.
As a Master Authorized Dealer we order your door from Clopay and crate it, packed to travel. Alaska Marine Lines lists Kobuk under its Kotzebue port of service on its Western Alaska and Arctic run, a summer season of roughly April through October, so timing the order to that window matters.
Install is not included. You pick the freight up at your local terminal, and you or your own contractor hangs the door. We are a phone call away for questions along the way.
