Premium Style & Functionality for Residential and Industrial Use

Side Sliding Garage Door

At Calgary Garage Door Fix, we’re proud to be the exclusive Canadian dealer of Ryterna, offering advanced side-sliding garage doors for homeowners and industrial clients alike. If you’re looking for a space-saving, modern, and highly functional alternative to overhead doors, Ryterna’s side-sliding doors deliver performance, customization, and unmatched European craftsmanship.

Side sliding garage doors offer a unique look that is impossible to achieve with a standard overhead garage door, making it an ultimate choice for homeowners in Canada and Calgary specifically. 

As Canada’s best-rated garage door supplier, we offer a unique selection of high-quality, premium garage doors that can complement any new custom home build or existing property. 

A side sliding garage door can also be an amazing solution for a low-headroom garage or for homeowners looking to install a car lift in their garage.

What Are Side-Sliding Garage Doors?

Side-sliding doors, also known as lateral opening garage doors, are designed to slide horizontally along the wall instead of lifting vertically. These doors are perfect for:

  • Garages with low headroom or ceiling obstructions

  • Wide openings or non-standard garage layouts

  • Frequent pedestrian access, offering convenient partial opening

  • Industrial and commercial facilities needing large, durable door systems

Low-Maintenance Garage Doors by Design

One of the most significant advantages of Ryterna side-sliding doors is their low-maintenance construction. Unlike traditional overhead garage doors, these systems do not rely on torsion springs, cables, or complex counterbalance systems, which are the most common points of failure in standard doors. Fewer moving parts means fewer things that can go wrong, saving homeowners and businesses both time and money on service calls and replacements. This makes side-sliding doors an ideal long-term investment for anyone looking to minimize upkeep without sacrificing performance or security.
