Clopay Garage Doors

Clopay is probably the largest manufacturer of residential garage doors in the United States. Clopay is also the only publicly traded company among all the garage door manufacturers. They are more “corporate” than some of the other companies, but they have great systems and processes.

Clopay builds the widest range of doors available. In some cases, it can feel like too many. For example, Clopay has six different options for garage door construction in their Gallery Collection. If you’re looking for choices, Clopay can deliver. What we like most about Clopay are the people, communication, and the wide range of doors.

However, when compared to CHI, the wood tone or faux wood steel doors are not nearly as realistic. But Clopay did hit it out of the park with the Canyon Ridge.

CHI Overhead Doors

With possibly the best lineup from top to bottom, CHI is best known for its Accent Series and the quality of the overlay doors they build. From the beginning, CHI has been building its garage doors with an emphasis on quality.  Founded by an Amish community, a larger company eventually acquired them, but they still manufacture their products in Arthur, IL. This is because CHI wants to provide their customers with the very best in garage doors and service. Striving for success, they continually work to improve their products and manufacturing process one door at a time. For these reasons, CHI is one of our most recommended brands for new garage door installation. 

Products

CHI makes all the standard varieties of doors including builder-grade doors. However, they also focus on providing high-end doors like their Sterling, Plank Door, and their overlay doors like the 5000 Series and the Shoreline. In particular, we like CHI’s residential garage doors. From steel to full-view to wood overlay, they have a great number of options.

Their Accent Series has beautiful, faux wood garage doors created with a unique digital imaging process. In fact, it is one of the most realistic-looking faux wood doors on the market. They also have a great range of carriage, stamp, and raised or recessed paneling options for their steel doors in terms of style. Lastly, they have several choices for full-view glass garage doors. No matter your vision for a new garage door, CHI has the quality and variety to be a top choice for garage door suppliers. 

One minor issue with CHI is that they outsource their distribution. This can cause some issues with turn-around times on receiving a new door. But this is not the case with our relationship with CHI. Our distribution process with them works well in the Atlanta area because the distributor Southeast Door Technologies does a good job of managing the distribution.

Amarr Garage Doors

Amarr is the manufacturer we used when we first launched, so they will always have a special place in our hearts. However, due to a lack of quality control and issues with the turnaround times and distribution, we decided to move away from them as our primary garage door supplier.

But it’s not all bad! They make a door that we love…a lot! The Amarr Classica was a one-of-a-kind product prior to Hormann building a similar product. What’s unique about the door is its built-in three sections instead of four. Also, the exterior stamp design is unique. However, they abandoned a pinch-resistant hinge which caused a lot of problems. In spite of this, Amarr and Clopay remain the two biggest manufacturers of residential garage doors. Amarr sells its products through Lowes, Pella Garage Doors, and Costco. 

Overall, the people are great, but there are some issues. That’s why, as a garage door company, it’s hard to promise customers a great experience when so many unknowns are at stake. Their product isn’t good enough to overcome the issues. We still sell their products, but not without a disclaimer. However, because they provide affordability for new garage doors, they may still be the right choice for certain buyers.

doorLink Garage Doors

doorLink offers a semi-wide range of residential garage doors to fit almost any home. This includes carriage house style, full-view glass, and more. However, not all of these are made to fit every home. If you want a doorLink garage door, we’ll have to explain your best options from their catalog. But even with the limited options, the quality of the doors makes doorLink a great option for new garage doors. 

Plus, the great turnaround time on shipping and the price of their new doors make doorLink garage doors a popular option for many of our customers.

Raynor Garage Doors

Raynor builds high-quality garage doors, specializing in urethane-insulated garage doors and powder coating. However, Raynor isn’t a popular brand in Atlanta due to the lack of distribution. They only ship direct and most garage door companies in the Atlanta market work out of their homes. This makes it difficult to deliver doors on an 18-wheeler. On the plus side, though, Raynor does their own urethane insulating and powder coating, making them a little more affordable when comparing products. In the end, we sell Raynor garage doors because the quality is top-notch.
