Pick the model, the colour, the panels, the windows and the hardware, then put the result on a photograph of your house before anybody quotes anything.
Garaga, whose doors we install, runs a design tool that lets you build a door and look at it before anybody quotes anything. Pick the model, the colour, the panel style, the window layout and the hardware, and it draws the result.
The part worth the five minutes is the photo step. Upload a picture of the front of your house and the tool masks the existing door out and drops the one you have configured into the opening. A garage door is the largest single surface on most front elevations, and a colour that looks obvious on a swatch often looks wrong on the actual brick. This is the cheapest way to find that out.
It is good for narrowing the field. Most people arrive with no idea whether they want a plain flush door, a raised panel, a carriage style with strap hinges, or a full-view aluminium frame with frosted glass, and half an hour with the configurator settles that faster than any conversation will.
It does not measure your opening and it does not price the installation. Headroom, backroom and the track type decide which models will physically fit, and the weight of the door you choose decides the springs. Those come from somebody standing in the garage. The installation page covers what that visit is looking for.
The button below leaves this site and opens Garaga on their own domain, on the dealer page for Protech. That is deliberate, and it is said out loud rather than sprung on you: it is the manufacturer running the tool, and it is a better tool than a garage door company would build for itself.
When you have something you like, come back and send it to us with a photograph of the opening, or call the branch that covers you. We supply and install doors from Garaga, Amarr and Stanley, and the garage doors page covers what the material and the layers actually change.

Send the photograph and the opening size and the branch that covers your street picks it up.
Send the detailsThe configurator opens on a blank door and every option at once. These are the six residential shapes and the two commercial builds most of it resolves to.
Princeton P-11 · Traditional
Overlays over a flat steel base, laid out symmetrically, with strap hinges and handles to match. Glazing sits in the top section only, and the divided lites are what stop a wide double door reading as a wall.
Eastman E-22 · Carriage House
Two-tone: a dark body under light overlays laid out as a crossbuck, with strap hinges and handles. The contrast is the whole effect, so it sits best on a house whose trim is already a different colour from its siding.
Standard+ North Hatley LP · Carriage house
A long-panel face in a woodgrain finish instead of a raised-panel grid. It reads as timber from the street and needs none of the refinishing real timber needs. It comes in two insulation levels, which is the decision to make before the colour.
Standard+ Shaker-Modern XL · Contemporary
Wide horizontal sections with the glass set to one side rather than across a full top row. The offset window is what stops a large dark door reading as a blank slab, and it suits a flat-roofed or dark-brick front.
Standard+ Vog · Contemporary
The face is flat and unbroken from jamb to jamb. It is the least forgiving door here: nothing on it hides a dent, and a track that is even slightly out of true shows along the top edge.
California · Contemporary
An aluminium frame carrying glass, clear or sandblasted or tinted. It is the one door here that lights the garage from outside. Garaga says the trade plainly on its own page: a full vision door should not be chosen for its insulation.
G-5000
The standard bay door: polyurethane injected between two steel skins, a grooved face, one and three quarter inches thick. Thinner and thicker builds exist at R-12 and R-18, and choosing between them is a question about whether the building is heated.
G-4400
An aluminium frame glazed across the whole face, for a showroom or a service bay the street should be able to see into. It is not insulated, and the glass is chosen per opening from more than twenty types, tempered or not.
Photographs are Garaga’s, the manufacturer whose doors we install. They show the models, not jobs we have completed. Colours shift on a screen, and headroom, backroom and the track decide which of these will physically fit an opening, so everything here is where a measurement starts.
A design is not a measurement. These are the pages that cover the rest of it.
