Garador Ltd

Garador Ltd, British garage door manufacturer since 1948

Garador Ltd is a manufacturer of garage doors and entrance doors based in the United Kingdom. The company presents itself as one of the leading British manufacturers in the sector and traces its origins to 1948, when it was created as part of Westland Engineers Ltd to apply expertise gained in aircraft manufacturing during the war to civilian products, including the one-piece up-and-over garage door.

Its plant, which the company describes as one of the most modern garage door manufacturing facilities in Europe, has received according to its data more than £24 million invested in production technology and automation up to 2025. The company states that this investment supports continuous improvement in the performance, safety and energy efficiency of its products.

Garage door catalogue

Garador's offering is organised into several product families, with different construction and opening solutions:

• Up & Over doors: available in steel, timber or GRP, with various finishes and designs. The company describes them as safe, reliable and low-maintenance.
• Sectional doors: open vertically via panels, with insulation and steel panels filled with polyurethane (PU) foam and sealed closure, in various designs, colours and surface finishes.
• Roller garage doors: made of insulated aluminium, they take up little space and feature smooth operation and safety elements. They include the GaraGlide range, an automatic roller door that retracts vertically into a compact box, and the GaraRoll range.
• Side Hinged doors: open outwards and are offered in steel or timber, designed for cases where interior space or access next to the entrance is limited.
• Garage side doors and accessories: complements and auxiliary doors for the garage.
• Portal front doors: a line of entrance doors for the home.

The catalogue is completed by the GaraCompact range, an automatic roller door presented as a solution for garages with limited space: it requires 205 mm of headroom and combines automation, integrated safety, quiet operation and weather protection, with five colours available.

Custom design and configuration tool

The company offers users a door configurator (Door Builder) that allows them to customise the product and visualise the available options. The website also offers downloadable brochures, installer access, technical support and a spare parts section for garage doors.

Garador states that all its products undergo independent testing and certification of performance and durability, and that they are designed in accordance with British and European safety standards (BS EN 13241). The company offers a limited 10-year warranty on up-and-over, sectional and GaraRoll doors, and a limited 5-year warranty on GaraMatic automation systems.
