While Richards-Wilcox Doors has been around since 1912, it might be hard to imagine a time when garage doors were not a common part of our Canadian homes. Many people take their garages and garage doors for granted. Almost three-quarters of homes in Canada today have a garage and garage door as part of their home.
There was a time when houses did not have garages or need them at all. Can you guess when this was? It was prior to the invention of the automobile! Before the automobile, people had barns where they kept their horses and carriages. The door on their barns was often a carriage-style door which swung outwards instead of upwards, like the overhead doors we use today.
