Sam's Garage Doors

What Sam's Garage Doors does

Sam's Garage Doors is a regional distributor, installer, and servicer of door products and a manufacturer of gate products, headquartered in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, and serving Western Canada with a focus on the Greater Vancouver area. Founded in 1990, the company operates with approximately 40 employees and reported 2025 sales of approximately C$17 million with a strong EBIT margin. Its product portfolio is concentrated in physical door and gate hardware, with revenue generated primarily through hardware sales tied to installation contracts and ongoing service work for residential and commercial property owners, plus a secondary vertical in construction and real estate developers.

The company runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market, combining product distribution with professional installation and field service delivered through its own crews rather than third-party channels. No proprietary technology, software platform, or AI capabilities are disclosed; the competitive position rests on 35 years of regional operating history, local brand trust, and an integrated distribution-plus-service model that is difficult for out-of-region entrants to replicate quickly.

In March 2026, Sam's Garage Doors was acquired by Sweden-based ASSA ABLOY for approximately C$17 million (MSEK 120), becoming part of ASSA ABLOY's Industrial business segment within the Entrance Systems Division. The deal is positioned as accretive to ASSA ABLOY's EPS from inception and is intended to strengthen the parent's Western Canadian footprint and service reach across the Greater Vancouver market.
