Abstract: An invention is provided for an independently operable ventilating security garage door system. The invention includes a ventilating security garage door that is permeable to light and air, and is wider than the existing garage door. The system also includes a plurality of ventilating security garage door rails that allow the ventilating security garage door to move between open and closed positions. Each rail is disposed to an outside of an existing garage door rail. Connected to the ventilating security garage door via cables is a rear torsion assembly, which is disposed behind the ventilating security garage door. In operation, the rear torsion assembly provides torque to assist in opening and closing the ventilating security garage door.
