Four brands, side by side
Shopping for a new garage door usually starts with one question: which brand fits my house? Every GatesHelp door comes in the same standard sizes, panel designs, and colors, so the brand comparison is the real decision — everything else is customization.
Clopay Classic Collection
Classic raised-panel steel door — clean, reliable, and one of the most widely installed door lines in North America. 24–27 gauge steel, uninsulated.
Amarr Lincoln / Hillcrest
Traditional or carriage-house styling with Safe-Guard pinch-resistant panel technology built in for everyday family safety. 25–27 gauge steel.
Wayne Dalton Classic Steel 8000
Raised-panel styling with a baked-on polyester finish — a dependable, budget-friendly standard steel door. 24–28 gauge steel.
C.H.I. Traditional Steel Collection
Embossed wood-grain texture steel door with an optional insulated upgrade to R-3.9 — a step up in both looks and efficiency. 24 gauge steel.
Standard sizes
Garage doors come in standard widths that match how residential garages are built, so the "right" size isn't a preference — it's determined by the width of your garage opening. Measure the opening itself (not the old door) and match it to one of these:
Single-car doors
8' × 7', 9' × 7', 10' × 7' — one door per bay.
Double-car doors
16' × 7', 18' × 7' — one continuous door across a two-car opening.
These sizes cover the large majority of homes. If your opening doesn't match a standard size, book a free, no-obligation on-site assessment and a technician will talk through options in person before you order.
Make it yours
Once you've settled on a style and size, two choices make the door yours. Panel design sets the texture and lines across the face of the door:
And color decides how the door plays against your siding and trim — from clean neutrals to statement shades:
Any panel design and any color can go on any brand, so you're never locked into a preset combination.
Transparent pricing
Most garage door shopping stalls at "call for a quote." GatesHelp works the other way around: the door price and the professional installation price are shown as two separate line items, and the full total is on screen before you book anything. You don't need an in-home estimate to get a real number on a standard-size door — pick your options at the kiosk or online and the price is right there. Payments are processed securely via Stripe, and every professional installation is backed by a 1-year labor warranty and performed by certified local technicians.
Complete the upgrade
If your opener is as old as the door it's been lifting, this is the easiest time to swap both. Chain drive, belt drive, and direct drive smart openers are all available — see our garage door openers page to compare them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between the four door brands?
Start with your home's exterior. Clopay's Classic Collection is a raised-panel steel door that suits nearly any house. Amarr's Lincoln/Hillcrest line brings traditional or carriage-house styling with pinch-resistant panels. Wayne Dalton's Classic Steel 8000 is a dependable, budget-friendly raised-panel door, and C.H.I.'s Traditional Steel Collection adds an embossed wood-grain texture with an optional insulated upgrade. All four come in the same sizes, panel designs, and colors, so you can compare them side by side at the kiosk or online — or book a free on-site assessment and have a technician walk you through it.
What size garage door do I need?
It comes down to how your garage is built. Measure the width and height of the opening itself: single-car openings are typically 8, 9, or 10 feet wide, and double-car openings are 16 or 18 feet wide — all 7 feet tall. If your measurements don't match one of those standard sizes, book a free, no-obligation on-site assessment and a technician will measure it for you.
Can I combine any panel design and color with any brand?
Yes. All five panel designs — Livingston, Long Panel, Ribbed, Short Panel, and Thornbury — and all eight colors are available across the door brands we carry, so you can build exactly the combination you want.
Is installation included in the listed price?
Professional installation appears as its own separate line item next to the door price, so you see the full total — door plus installation — before you book. Nothing gets added later.
Do I need an in-home estimate before ordering?
No. Standard-size doors are priced upfront at the kiosk and online, so you get a real number without waiting for an estimate visit. If your opening isn't a standard size, or you'd just rather have a technician walk you through the options, a free on-site assessment is always available.
What happens to my old door if I'm replacing one?
Removal and haul-away of your existing door is part of replacement installations — the technician takes the old door with them. See our garage door replacement page for details specific to swapping out an existing door.
What warranty comes with a new garage door?
Every professional installation includes a 1-year labor warranty. Product warranties on the door itself are per the manufacturer.
Can I add a garage door opener to the same order?
Yes — Chamberlain, Genie, and Craftsman openers are all available alongside a new door. Every opener purchase includes either professional installation or a free on-site assessment, whichever you prefer.
Where can I shop new garage doors from GatesHelp?
At any GatesHelp kiosk near you, or right here on the website — both use the same catalog, the same options, and the same upfront pricing.
Who installs my new door?
All work is performed by certified local technicians. GatesHelp is licensed and insured, same-day service is available, and satisfaction is guaranteed.
