Overhead Door vs. Garage Door: What's the Difference?

There is no functional difference — the terms are completely interchangeable. "Overhead door" is the original industry term dating back to the 1920s, and Overhead Door Corporation was one of the first companies to manufacture them. Today the brand name has become genericized, much like "Kleenex" for tissues.
