Premium Ryterna Garage Doors — Exclusive to Canada Through Calgary Garage Door Fix

Ryterna, established in 1993 in Kaunas, Lithuania, manufactures approximately 80,000 doors annually with over 520 employees across Europe. Their made-to-measure approach means every door is custom-built to your exact specifications at no additional cost—a significant advantage over North American brands that charge premiums for non-standard sizes.

If you’re looking for a garage door that makes a statement, Ryterna delivers innovation like no other manufacturer in North America. These aren’t just garage doors—they’re design statements that integrate seamlessly with your home’s architecture

What Makes Ryterna Different from North American Brands

Spring Cycle Comparison: The Hidden Cost Savings

The most important—and often overlooked—difference between Ryterna and other brands is spring longevity. Springs are the most common failure point on garage doors, and replacement typically costs $380-$480, including labor.

*Based on 4 cycles per day, average residential use.

Ryterna also offers upgrade options to 50,000 and 100,000 cycles—the latter effectively providing lifetime spring coverage for residential use.

 

Panel Options & Insulation for Calgary's Climate

Ryterna offers four panel thickness options, all using Freon-free polyurethane foam insulation—the same material used in premium coolers and refrigeration units:

Thickness U-Value Noise Reduction Best For
30mm (1¼”)

★ Recommended for Calgary’s climate

For most Calgary homes with attached garages, we recommend the 40mm panel—it provides excellent thermal performance, superior noise reduction, and handles our temperature swings from -30°C to +30°C without issue.

Unlimited Customization — Design a Door That's Uniquely Yours

Pass Through Garage Door
Convenience Meets Elegance

One of Ryterna’s most unique offerings is its built-in wicket doors, walk-through garage doors, or pass-through garage doors, a feature rarely found among garage door manufacturers. We are the only garage door company in Calgary that offers this unique product locally. This smart addition allows easy access without opening the entire door, making it perfect for homeowners who frequently use their garage as a workspace, gym, or secondary entrance. Designed to blend seamlessly, these pass-through doors come with multiple threshold options, including low-profile versions for easy accessibility. Calgary garage door selection just got much richer with our Ryterna partnership.

Northland doors provide excellent value for homeowners who want a quality insulated garage door without the extensive customization options of Ryterna. They’re a smart choice for rental properties, budget-conscious renovations, or anyone who simply wants a reliable door that looks good and performs well.

How to Choose the Right Garage Door for Your Calgary Home

A home’s first impression starts with its entrance, and Ryterna ensures that your garage door and entry door complement each other flawlessly. Homeowners can select matching garage doors and entry door sets, materials, colors, and design elements, creating a visually unified exterior that enhances the overall appeal of their property. Whether you want a contemporary, industrial look or a warm, rustic charm, Ryterna’s design continuity brings harmony to your home’s facade.

Consider Your Climate Needs

Calgary’s extreme temperature swings—from -30°C to +30°C—demand a well-insulated garage door, especially for attached garages. Here’s what we recommend based on your garage setup:

Garage Configuration Recommended R-Value
Attached, heated garage
R-12 to R-16 minimum
Attached, unheated garage
R-10 to R-12
Workshop or gym use
R-16 or higher
Detached, unheated garage
R-6 to R-10

Prices include professional installation. Contact us for current pricing on other sizes and configurations.

Standard Calgary Garage Door Sizes

Most Calgary homes use standard sizing, but we can accommodate custom dimensions:

Single-Car Garages: 8×7, 9×7, or 10×7 feet (9×7 is most common in townhouses). For taller vehicles, 8×8, 9×8, and 10×8 options accommodate SUVs and vans.

Double-Car Garages: 16×7 feet is Calgary’s most popular size, followed by 16×8 for homes with taller vehicles.

RV/Custom: Heights of 10-14 feet serve recreational vehicle owners. Ryterna can manufacture doors up to 8 meters wide × 3 meters tall, and their made-to-measure approach means precise fitting at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a New Garage Door in Calgary

How much does a new garage door cost in Calgary?

A new garage door in Calgary ranges from $2,000 to $8,000+ installed, depending on size, material, and features. Our budget-friendly Northland doors start at $2,000 + GST for single-car garages and $2,695 + GST for standard 16×7 double-car doors. Premium Ryterna doors with extensive customization options typically range higher based on your specific design choices, panel thickness, and special features like walk-through doors or custom aluminum appliqués.

What's the difference between Ryterna and other garage door brands?

Ryterna's key differentiator is their 25,000-cycle torsion springs as standard—lasting approximately 17 years versus 7 years for the 10,000-cycle springs standard on Amarr, Clopay, C.H.I., and other North American brands. Additionally, Ryterna offers true made-to-measure manufacturing at no extra cost, any RAL color, and exclusive features like integrated walk-through doors and real Okoume hardwood cladding that no North American manufacturer offers.

What R-value do I need for my Calgary garage door?

For Calgary's climate with temperatures ranging from -30°C to +30°C, we recommend R-12 to R-16 for attached garages. If you heat your garage or use it as a workshop, go with R-16 or higher. Detached, unheated garages can use R-6 to R-10. Remember that polyurethane insulation (used in both Ryterna and quality Northland doors) provides approximately twice the insulating value per inch compared to polystyrene

How long does garage door installation take?

Standard residential garage door installation takes 3-6 hours. This includes removing your old door, installing the new door and tracks, setting up the springs and opener (if included), and making all necessary adjustments. Complex installations involving custom sizes, electrical work for new opener wiring, or frame modifications may require a full day.

Do I need to replace my garage door opener when I get a new door?

Not necessarily. However, you should replace your opener if: it was manufactured before 1993 (lacks modern safety features), it doesn't have enough power for a heavier insulated door, it's over 10-15 years old, or you want smart home features like WiFi connectivity and smartphone control. We can assess your current opener during your consultation.

How long do garage doors last?

A quality garage door lasts 15-30 years with proper maintenance, with most reaching 20-25 years. Ryterna doors, with their industrial-grade hardware and superior spring ratings, typically exceed this range. The most common component requiring replacement during a door's lifetime is the torsion spring—which is why Ryterna's 25,000-cycle springs (versus the industry-standard 10,000 cycles) represent significant long-term value.

What is a wicket door or walk-through door?

A wicket door (also called a walk-through door or pass-through door) is a pedestrian door built into the garage door itself, allowing entry without opening the entire door. Benefits include convenient access for homes without a secondary garage entrance, energy savings (you don't release conditioned air when entering), and emergency egress if your garage door opener fails. Ryterna is one of the few manufacturers offering factory-integrated wicket doors. The typical cost premium is $900-$1,200.

Can Calgary Garage Door Fix install any brand of garage door?

Yes, we work with most major North American manufacturers including Amarr, C.H.I., Clopay, and Northland. However, we're particularly proud to be Canada's only authorized Ryterna dealer, giving you exclusive access to premium European garage doors not available anywhere else in the country.

Do I need a permit to replace my garage door in Calgary?

Straightforward door replacement typically doesn't require a building permit in Calgary. However, electrical permits apply when installing new outlets for a garage door opener (Typically if changing standard to Jackshaft opener.). If you're building a new detached garage, you'll need a Residential Improvement Project Permit. We can advise on permit requirements during your consultation.

Should I get windows in my garage door?

Windows add natural light and enhance curb appeal but increase cost by approximately 25-50% and slightly reduce insulation. For Calgary homes, we recommend insulated glass options if you choose windows. Ryterna offers frosted, tinted, and obscured glass options for privacy while still allowing light. Consider your garage's orientation—south-facing windows may cause summer heat gain.
