The History Of Garage Doors, And Your Future Garage Door

Double Wide Residential Garage Door with Windows

The first garage doors arrived around the same time the first wheels were invented. The first wheels were created around 3500 B.C. in Mesopotamia. This was 300 years before they were used on chariots. Since the time transportation on wheels were invented, people have been searching for places to park, protect and put their modes of wheeled transportation.

The word garage originated from the French word garer,which means “shelter.” Carriage houses were the original structures that housed modes of transportation, including horses. In 1908, Sears Roebuck & Company introduced a portable garage that could be ordered. With the availability of cars on the rise, thanks to Henry Ford, everyone was searching for a place to store their valuable possession.

The overhead garage door came on the scene in 1921. These doors, invented by C.G. Johnson, had hinged panels that bent as the door lifted. This was a big shift from the carriage doors that swung open from side-to-side. In 1926, Mr. Johnson invented an electric garage door opener, and garages began to expand in size and potential for use. To avoid garage door accidents, photoelectric and pressure sensors were required by law to avoid accidental deaths or injuries due to garage door closings.

I’m so glad that I contacted Bill @ Habpro when the spring in my garage door broke. I called mid-morning and he had a technician at my home that afternoon. The technician was kind and extremely professional. He had the garage door fixed very quickly and for a great price! I would ABSOLUTELY recommended Habpro to all of my friends and family! What a great experience with great people!

Kaylee F.

Wonderful quick service. They helped me find the part to replace and came out within a few days. Greg was able to have the problem fixed within in hour time and also gave me some insight as to why the problem happened in the first place. Price was very reasonable as well. Will def be using this company again and refer them to my friends and family.

Daniel B.

Fantastic service and premium quality product. Bill gave me competitive prices on two insulated metal doors and programmable openers, scheduled the installation at a convenient time for me, and Chuck who did the installation show up right on time. After he thoroughly cleaned up, he stayed and helped sync both vehicles to the openers. I highly recommend Habpro. You won't be disappointed.
