Legacy Garage Doors supplies and installs new garage doors and openers for homeowners and businesses across Toronto and the GTA. We handle both in a single visit, properly matched and configured, with upfront pricing and a full workmanship guarantee.
New garage doors and openers are two systems that work together. A high-quality door installed with a mismatched or underpowered opener will underperform, wear faster, and create safety issues. Installing them together, correctly matched and calibrated, is the most reliable approach.
Legacy Garage Doors handles both in a single appointment across Toronto and the GTA. You work with one company, one quote, and one installation team. See the full range of our garage door services for a complete picture of what we offer.
If you are replacing only the opener and not the door, our repair experts can assess whether the existing door is compatible with a new opener before you commit to either option.
We start with a consultation to understand your door type, opening size, daily usage volume, and any smart home requirements. We then recommend a door and opener combination that is correctly matched for weight, speed, and compatibility. You will not end up with an opener that strains to lift your door or one that is over-engineered for a lightweight panel.
We supply doors from trusted manufacturers across all material categories: steel, aluminum, wood composite, and glass panel. Our residential options give an overview of the styles available. For Toronto’s climate demands, we will guide you toward the right insulation rating and material from the outset.
We install belt drive openers for quieter operation in attached garages, chain drive systems for heavier commercial or high-cycle doors, and Wi-Fi-enabled smart openers for homeowners who want app control, real-time alerts, and integration with home automation systems. Our guide on smart opener apps walks through the top options currently available if you are deciding between systems.
Our technicians install the door and opener together in one visit. This is more efficient, reduces the coordination burden on you, and allows us to calibrate the opener settings to the specific door weight and balance during the same appointment. Most standard residential setups are completed the same day.
After installation, we configure the opener limits and force settings, sync remotes and keypads, test auto-reverse and sensor function, and walk you through the full system operation. You leave the appointment knowing exactly how everything works and what your warranty covers.
Hardware specified for milder climates underperforms when a new door and opener system is installed in Toronto’s conditions. Torsion springs sized without accounting for sustained cold operate under increased tension through winter, placing additional load on the opener motor at the start of every cycle. Opener drive components that use grease-lubricated mechanisms stiffen in prolonged cold, increasing resistance and motor strain during early morning operation through Toronto winters. Battery backup systems lose charge capacity in sustained cold, reducing their effective runtime during winter power outages when they are needed most. Uncoated cables and hardware corrode faster in the salt-laden air common near GTA roads.
When we supply and install a new door and opener combination, we specify both systems for Ontario’s operating conditions, from the spring cycle rating and cable coating through to the opener’s cold-weather motor performance and battery backup capacity. Our cold climate section covers how Toronto’s climate affects the full door system and what specifications matter most for reliable year-round performance.
Replacement of one or both systems is warranted when any of the following are present:
Our maintenance checklist gives homeowners a practical guide to monitoring door and opener components between professional service visits.
Not every issue with an existing door and opener system requires full replacement of both. A door with sound panels and a correctly sized spring system can often be paired with a new opener alone where the existing motor has failed but the door is otherwise sound. Conversely, a door at the end of its panel life may warrant replacement while the existing opener, if correctly rated for the new door’s weight, can be retained and reconfigured.
There is a point, however, where the age, specification mismatch, or cumulative repair history of both systems makes replacing them together the most cost-effective and practical decision. Our repair vs replacement guide walks through that decision clearly. Our technicians will assess both systems honestly and advise on whether full replacement, partial replacement, or targeted repair is the right path for your property.
We install new garage doors and openers throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including Scarborough, Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga, Pickering, North York, Etobicoke, Richmond Hill, Aurora, and Hamilton.

You need a custom door when your opening dimensions fall outside standard catalog sizes, when you have specific material or finish requirements that standard products cannot meet, or when your facility has structural constraints requiring an engineered configuration. For most commercial applications, standard products with minor adjustments are sufficient.
Lead times for custom commercial orders typically range from three to eight weeks depending on the manufacturer and specification complexity. We confirm the lead time before you approve the specification and plan the installation date accordingly.
Yes. Custom-sized fire-rated commercial doors are available from manufacturers that produce fire-rated products to non-standard dimensions. We provide compliance documentation for fire-rated custom installations at handover.
Yes, typically. Custom commercial orders carry a premium over standard catalog products due to manufacturing setup costs and smaller production runs. We will advise you if a standard product with minor adjustments can meet your requirements at meaningfully lower cost before recommending a custom order.
Yes. Custom finish options including RAL colour matching, premium paint finishes, stainless steel cladding, and aluminium composite panel facing are available for commercial doors. Finish options vary by door type and manufacturer. We confirm availability during the specification development stage.
We provide a workmanship guarantee on all installation labour. Manufacturer warranties apply to the custom door system and operator. Custom order warranty terms are confirmed in writing at installation handover.
Yes, and this is a standard part of our process. We will tell you clearly if a standard commercial door with an adjustment can meet your requirement at lower cost and faster lead time than a custom order. We do not recommend custom specifications to generate higher-value invoices.
Custom finishes and specialty cladding require the same maintenance discipline as standard commercial hardware, but with additional attention to the specific materials specified. Painted and powder-coated finishes should be inspected annually for chips, scratches, or corrosion points that allow moisture beneath the coating, particularly on doors with road salt exposure. Stainless steel and aluminium composite cladding should be cleaned periodically to remove salt and dirt accumulation that accelerates surface degradation over time. Hardware lubrication, seal inspection, and operator servicing follow the same schedule as any commercial door system. We recommend a pre-winter service visit for all custom commercial doors to confirm seal integrity and hardware condition before Toronto’s freeze-thaw season begins.
A properly matched and installed door and opener system is quieter, more reliable, safer, and easier to maintain than a mismatched or aging setup. Legacy Garage Doors handles both in one visit, correctly, with a price you know upfront.
