Oklahoma summers hit hard. Oklahoma winters aren't gentle either. The Wayne Dalton 8300 Series was built for exactly this climate — three layers of steel surrounding a thick core of polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation, delivering an R-value of 12.12 and a U-factor of .15. It's Wayne Dalton's best-insulated residential garage door, and it's available with Wood Grain Impressions™ finishes that give you the authentic look of real wood on a steel door that will outlast anything wood ever could.

Inspired by the artisanry of traditional blacksmiths, Wayne Dalton's decorative hardware collections lend a distinctive, yet subtle touch of individuality to your Classic Steel garage door. Every piece is forged from black powder-coated steel with a hand-hammered look. Kits include 4 hinges and 2 pull handles; double car doors receive 2 complete kits.
Additional accent pieces — corner brackets and clavos — are available to match or complement each collection. Pull handle fit in center stile is dependent upon design and size of door. Hardware images shown are representative — visit any DOORTEC Oklahoma City showroom to see physical hardware samples.
Wayne Dalton warrants your 8300 Series Series door panels against cracking or splitting due to rust-through for as long as the original purchaser owns the home — no time limit, no exceptions.
The polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation is warranted against degradation and R-value loss for the full life of the door under original ownership.
All springs, cables, tracks, hinges, and hardware components are covered under Wayne Dalton's limited hardware warranty for 12 months from the installation date.

Oklahoma City isn't kind to garage doors. Summers regularly push into triple digits, winter ice storms drive temperatures well below freezing, and the constant thermal cycling takes a toll on doors that weren't built for it. The Wayne Dalton 8300 Series was engineered with exactly this environment in mind. Three layers — two skins of heavy-gauge steel wrapped around a thick core of polyurethane foamed-in-place insulation — create a door that holds temperature, blocks street noise, and doesn't flex under Oklahoma's weather pressure.
With an R-value of 12.12 and a U-factor of .15, the 8300 is Wayne Dalton's best-insulated residential garage door. Tongue-and-groove section joints seal out wind and weather at every seam, silent-glide nylon rollers with solid steel shafts deliver years of smooth quiet operation, and the optional 25,000-cycle spring upgrade gives you more than twice the lifespan of a standard torsion spring. DOORTEC has installed thousands of 8300 Series doors across Oklahoma City, Edmond, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Midwest City, Guthrie, El Reno, and Tulsa — we know exactly how this door performs in our climate.
One of the most distinctive features of the 8300 is Wood Grain Impressions™ — Wayne Dalton's digitally printed, non-repeating wood grain finish available on flush panel models. Unlike painted finishes, Wood Grain Impressions™ uses a stucco embossment paired with a digital print process to create an authentic wood appearance that never needs staining, never rots, and never warps. Choose from White Plank, Black Plank, Cedar Plank, Medium Oak Plank, Beachwood Plank, or Carbon Oak Plank — each one a realistic reproduction of the real thing on a door that will outlast wood by decades.
The 8300 is available in five panel designs — Short Panel, Long Panel, Flush Panel, Vertical Short Panel, and Vertical Long Panel (Vertical Long on 8300 only). Whether your home is a traditional two-story Colonial, a craftsman bungalow, a ranch, or a modern contemporary, one of these profiles fits. Pair your panel choice with one of six standard paint colors — Sandstone, White, Almond, Terra Bronze, Brown, or Black — or step up to TruChoice® and choose from over 6,000 custom factory colors. Whatever your home's exterior palette, the 8300 can match it.
Window options on the 8300 are extensive: up to 33 choices for flush panel doors, 30 for vertical short, 23 for long and vertical long, and 9 for short panel. AG model variants (8300AG) expand your options further with flexible window placements — double row, vertical column, vertical-and-horizontal combinations, and all-window configurations. Six glass types are available: Clear, Bronze Tinted Tempered, Gray Tinted Tempered, Satin Etched Privacy, Obscure, and Green Tinted Tempered, with optional insulated glass for maximum thermal performance.
Every Wayne Dalton 8300 Series door comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, and every DOORTEC installation carries our own workmanship guarantee. We've been Oklahoma City's most trusted garage door company for over 60 years, with more than 140,000 installations completed across the OKC metro.
