In the subsequent years, factory owned dealerships were established in all the major cities across Canada. The 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s saw the introduction of many door and door related products by Richards-Wilcox.

This morning, my car was trapped in my garage due to a broken garage door spring. I called RW Garage Door company at 7 am and by 8:15 am, there was a repair person at my home. I am happy to say that my garage door has been fully repaired. Trent was professional and did an outstanding job. Would highly recommend RW Garage Door company for all your garage door needs.

Our RW Authorized dealer sales rep, Mara, was excellent in helping us choose the perfect garage door & opener system. The installation, by RW Authorized installer Paul, was done perfectly. He also helped coordinate things with the neighbor so our semi-detached units matched. Pricing was good and we are very pleased.
