Ankmar Regency Collection

Some homeowners want the look of a wood garage door but not the upkeep. Others want solid insulation and a broad style range at a reasonable price. The Ankmar Regency Collection addresses both. It is a well-specified insulated steel door with a design lineup that runs from classic raised panels to a wood-grain-look Madera sub-line.

The Regency Collection is manufactured by Safe-Way Garage Doors (Warsaw, Indiana) and sold through Ankmar Door, the Front Range's established local dealer. It carries the Model 65 designation in Safe-Way's lineup. That published pedigree means the key specs on this door are sourced and confirmed.

Overview

The Ankmar Regency Collection (Safe-Way Model 65) is a 3-layer insulated residential steel garage door. It sits below the polyurethane-insulated Ambient Collection in Ankmar's lineup, but it offers a broader range of style options than any other line Ankmar carries.

Panel designs available in the Regency line include Standard Raised, Medium Raised, Long Raised, Flush, Carriage House, Long Carriage House, and Pencil Groove. That is a wide selection. It means the Regency can match a traditional home, a craftsman exterior, a modern facade, or a carriage-house-style build.

The standout option in the Regency line is the Madera sub-line. Madera panels are designed to mimic the look of natural oak or rosewood woodgrain in a steel door. The grain is pressed into the steel surface during manufacturing. It provides the visual character of real wood without the risk of warping, cracking, or the annual maintenance that real wood requires. In Colorado, where temperature swings between seasons are dramatic, that matters a great deal.

The Regency is manufactured by Safe-Way Garage Doors and rebadged under Ankmar's local lineup. Safe-Way is an established manufacturer with a track record in residential steel doors. That relationship backs the Regency's specs and warranty with manufacturer accountability.

Construction and materials

The Regency Collection uses a 3-layer sandwich construction: a galvanized steel exterior, an insulating core, and a galvanized steel interior skin.

27-gauge galvanized steel forms both the outer and inner skins. The galvanizing process coats the steel with zinc. That zinc layer acts as a barrier against rust and corrosion. Two deep-drawn galvanized steel skins are used. Deep-drawn means the steel is pressed under force to achieve depth in the panel profile. This produces a crisper, more defined panel shape. Deep-drawn panels hold their form better than shallower stampings over time.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) bonded with polyurethane adhesive fills the 2-inch core. EPS is a rigid foam used in many insulation boards. It is glued to both steel skins with polyurethane adhesive. That bond creates one rigid composite panel. Loose inserts can shift inside a panel over time. The bonded EPS does not move. It stays tight and intact as a single unit.

R-value of 10.25. This is a solid level for a residential steel door. It is above the R-6 range of basic insulated doors. It is below the R-17.68 of the Ankmar Ambient, which uses injected polyurethane. For homeowners who want real insulation at a mid-range price, R-10.25 is a good fit.

The Regency door panels are 2 inches thick, which is standard for an insulated 3-layer residential door.

Styles, colors, and window options

The Regency Collection offers the broadest style range in Ankmar's residential lineup.

Panel design options include: - Standard Raised for a classic residential look - Medium Raised for a slightly bolder panel profile - Long Raised for a more horizontal, contemporary-leaning panel - Flush for a flat, clean modern face - Carriage House for a traditional hinged-door appearance on a modern sectional door - Long Carriage House for an extended carriage-house profile - Pencil Groove for a linear texture detail

The Madera sub-line is available across several of these design options. Madera doors replicate the texture of natural oak or rosewood grain pressed into the steel face. On a craftsman home in Denver's older neighborhoods, or a mountain-style build in Evergreen or Conifer, a Madera door can read as real wood from the street.

Colors: The Regency Collection (manufactured by Safe-Way) is available in 9 standard colors: Almond, Black, Bronze, Brown, Desert Tan, Grey, Hunter Green, Sandtone, and White. The Madera sub-line adds wood-grain-look finishes in oak and rosewood tones to complement the embossed grain texture.

Window options: Safe-Way's Regency model pages confirm that a choice of window styles is available. Specific window style names and insert options are not listed publicly. Confirm styles with G Brothers or Ankmar before ordering.

Is it right for your Colorado home, and how G Brothers helps

The Regency Collection is the right door for homeowners who want design flexibility in a solid insulated steel door. It covers three distinct buyer situations well:

• Style-first buyers who want carriage house, wood-grain-look, or multiple raised-panel options in a single insulated line
• Colorado homeowners who want wood character without wood maintenance where the Madera sub-line delivers the look with steel durability
• Attached garages where R-10 insulation is sufficient and a higher-spec polyurethane door is not needed or within budget

The Front Range climate presents two main challenges for garage doors. The first is hail. The Boulder and Denver metro areas sit in "Hail Alley," one of the most active hail regions in the country. Galvanized steel resists rust even after hail chips the surface coat. The second challenge is temperature swing. Colorado temps can drop 40 degrees in a few hours during a cold front. An insulated door buffers those swings for any attached garage.

The Madera sub-line is worth noting for homeowners in neighborhoods with design standards or HOA guidelines. Some associations favor a natural material look. A Madera Regency door delivers that aesthetic. It costs less than real wood. It carries none of the rot or repainting risk that real wood brings.

Warranty note: Regency Madera panels carry a 10-year warranty against rust-through and a 5-year warranty against delamination. These are specific terms confirmed in sourced documentation. The base Regency (non-Madera) carries a Limited Lifetime rust-through warranty for the original purchaser. Confirm full scope and exclusions with Ankmar or at safewaydoor.com before finalizing.
