An Inupiaq village at Cape Prince of Wales on the tip of the Seward Peninsula, looking across the Bering Strait toward the Diomedes. We are a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, shipping new garage doors and commercial overhead doors to Wales. 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 Wales
You should not have to settle for whatever is sitting on a local lot. As a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, we help Wales homeowners, builders and property managers spec the right door, then crate it and freight it north.
Wales takes wind straight through the strait, often strong enough to push snow through the smallest gap around a door. Sections need stiffness to resist that load, and every edge needs weatherseal that holds in deep cold. Hunting families need sheltered storage for boats and gear, and the buildings that keep power and water running need overhead doors that close tight against a gale.
For Bering Strait we usually lean toward Clopay's Intellicore insulated steel for warmth and quiet, though any line we carry can make the trip. Alaska Marine Lines serves Wales through its Tin City port of service on the Western Alaska barge run, which operates roughly April through October before ice closes the coast, so the order gets planned around that summer window. 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.

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.
