Custom Made Garage Doors for Tricky Openings and Architectural Homes
Custom garage doors made to fit and BUILT TO LAST.
When standard won’t cut it
Some garages don't fit the standard mould. The headroom is tight, the opening is oversized, or the house has been architecturally designed and a standard panel door would look like every other door on the street. That's the work we enjoy most. We design and build custom made garage doors in-house, including flush-mount garage doors that sit flat and in line with the cladding, so the door blends into the front of the house. Builders, architects and homeowners regularly bring us a product or a sketch and ask whether it can be done, and our answer is usually that we'll make it work.
Custom for Commercial
Built tough for the jobs that demand more.
We also design and build heavy-duty custom doors for commercial and industrial use — from workshops and processing plants to IL4 fire stations and service yards. These aren’t your average installs — they need to handle frequent use, large openings, and heavy loads. That’s where Waikato Door Specialists really shine. We understand the hardware, the engineering, and the future-proofing needed to make these high-load doors last. Whatever the challenge, we’ll build a solution that holds up.

Built for performance. Made to last
High-end materials, smart design, sharp detailing.
Our custom doors aren’t just for show. They’re made to perform — with the same durability, ingenuity, and smooth operation you’d expect from any quality install. We work with trusted suppliers and proven components to make sure your custom door opens right and keeps working year after year.
What custom garage doors have we built?
Recent builds include insulated Abodo-clad doors on a 35-degree pitch, a mirror-glass designer door, three high-lift cedar doors and an interior door for The Crate. The Abodo-clad sectional doors have high-gloss black ACM backing, fully powder-coated hardware and variable-speed jack-shaft motors, and Allan Goodger's comment on Facebook was "Great looking doors. Awesome install." The aluminium designer door uses mirror toughened glass to make a statement at the front of the house, and the three cedar sectional doors run on high-lift tracking to suit a garage with extra headroom. For The Crate we built a custom ACM sectional door for an interior space, which shows custom work isn't only for garages. Roger Bawden, our managing director, has 40 years in the trade and is our expert in specialty sectional and flush-mount doors.
