The Garage Door Centre was started in 1986 by Brian and Nathan Dove. Since then the company has enjoyed continuous expansion and now employs over 50 staff with three showrooms and sales offices displaying a total of over 130 working and static garage doors and a dedicated installation and distribution warehouse for UK distribution. COVERING THE COUNTRY Originally started as Northants Garage Doors the name soon had to change as expansion took over. The Head Office and Main Showroom and the Installation depot are based at Northamptonshire, with further showrooms and sales offices situated at Warwickshire and Bedfordshire. AGD Systems and Samson Doors were also soon created as specialist companies to deal with the ever growing demand for automatic gate systems and specialised commercial and industrial door systems. These companies now work closely alongside The Garage Door Centre, often with shared customers, providing total door and gate solutions for many clients. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Specialist staff includes technical advisors, site surveyors, sales consultants and teams of highly trained installation engineers. A special projects division undertake all non-standard applications ensuring the correct products are selected to suit individual requirements. All staff receive constant new product updates and awareness to ensure that all customers are offered all options available to suit their own needs and desires. TRADE SUPPLIERS We are specialist suppliers to the trade industry with many garage door, developer, builder and other home improvement companies purchasing garage doors from us at very competitive prices all over the UK. We offer excellent back up service and have excellent assistance available for surveys, pricing and installation if required. WIDE VARIETY OF PRODUCTS The Garage Door Centre is an approved supplier and installer for a comprehensive range of garage doors and automated gate systems from all the major manufacturers. This lack of manufacturer bias enables the sales consultant to concentrate on the customer’s own requirements with total impartiality. RELIABLE INSTALLATIONS Installations are controlled from the dedicated unit based in Northamptonshire where the engineers receive specialist training to ensure the optimum fit is always attained. We can help trade customers with training when required as well. DIRECT DELIVERIES Doors can be delivered to virtually any site of installation, subject to access and assistance when required for offloading. ACCESSORIES, REPLACEMENT PARTS A full range of accessories including operators, a wide selection of hand held control units, alternative access control systems, weather protection strips together with an extensive range of spare parts are held in stock. With garage door systems constantly being improved, Managing Director Nathan Dove believes people need to do more than just replace old doors with exactly the same style. As he states: "As garage doors have become more specialised, so people need a company like us that really understands the technical elements of garage doors, that can appreciate customers’ requirements and advise them accordingly. It is also vital that the chosen doors are fitted in a professional manner. With such an important purchase that will last for perhaps 20 years and more, many customers wish to see more than just a brochure. As well as inviting customers to visit the showrooms, we will conduct a survey of their garage to ensure that the door selected will fit the opening and be appropriate for their needs. It is surprising how often we have had to change doors for people who have bought from a non- specialised company only to find that the opening is no longer wide enough or high enough to accommodate their car. And of course, safety is a major factor especially where electrical operators are concerned.Whether the main criterion be maximizing drive through dimensions, complying with planning issues, enlarging internal space, The Garage Door Centre will be able to provide guidance and recommend suitable options."
