From Hands to Heart: The Drive Behind Anytime Garage Door
In an industry where speed often overshadows sincerity, Anthony Commans and the team at Anytime Garage Door are taking a different route—one paved with purpose, people, and persistence. With only two years under his belt as a garage door technician, Anthony’s journey is less about fixing doors and more about opening new ones—for himself, for his family, and for the customers who count on his team every single day.
“I was working a traveling job after leaving a management position at a well-known company,” Anthony recalls. “My career had been shaken up, and I knew I needed a change—something hands-on, something meaningful.” That “something” turned out to be a role with Anytime Garage Door, where weeks of rigorous training turned into a career he hasn’t looked back on since.
It wasn’t just about a steady paycheck or a new set of tools. What Anthony found was a purpose-driven environment rooted in service, consistency, and connection. “We want our dedication to problem solving and our commitment to customer satisfaction to shine through in everything we do,” he says. “That’s not just talk—it’s how we operate every day.”
Serving the residential communities throughout the Oklahoma City metro, Anytime Garage Door offers a full range of garage door services—from routine maintenance to full replacements and new installations. But it’s not just the services they offer that set them apart—it’s how they offer them. “At Anytime, we deliver peace of mind,” Anthony says. “After a visit from us, your garage door is not just functional—it’s safe. And that means something, especially when you’re pulling in late at night with your kids in the car.”
Anthony is one of three technicians on the front lines, along with his colleagues Dalton and Marco. Together, they rotate through seven-day workweeks to meet the growing demands of the community. “We’re not just coworkers; we’re a team,” he says. “Our job is to be there when people need us most.”
And while the technicians handle the hands-on repairs, there’s an entire ecosystem behind the scenes making sure everything runs like, well, a well-oiled garage door. “We have a customer loyalty department that backs our satisfaction guarantee, an office team that helps customers book appointments, and Julie, our amazing dispatcher, who makes sure we’re in the right place at the right time,” Anthony explains.
This level of coordination and care didn’t just happen by accident—it’s part of the culture that’s been built over time. “I think the biggest reason for my success is my refusal to give up,” Anthony shares. “There’s always a way to get it done right. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.”
That perseverance doesn’t stop at the job site. At the center of Anthony’s life is his wife, Allie, and their daughter, Winnie. “When I’m not working, we’re out and about exploring together,” he says. “Everything I do is for them.” And in those quieter moments, Anthony loves building things for Winnie to enjoy, sharing laughs with friends over drinks, or relaxing with video games.
Originally from Washington state and raised in Missouri, Anthony's decision to settle in Oklahoma came after he met Allie while she was in college. “After she graduated, I realized she was the one,” he says with a smile. “I moved with her back to her home state, and the rest is history.”
While his love for working with his hands is what initially drew him to this field, it’s the human connection that keeps him going. “I really enjoy having the opportunity to meet new people and travel to the many communities in the Oklahoma City area,” he says. Each garage door he repairs is more than a job—it’s a chance to make someone’s day better, to ensure their home is secure, and to remind them that someone cares about getting it right.
When asked how he defines success, Anthony doesn’t hesitate: “Success is knowing that my family is taken care of. Seeing them happy is the reward. That’s what I strive for every day.”
And if there’s a guiding principle behind it all? Anthony leans on the words of Lucille Ball: “I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.” That sense of fearless action, of stepping into the unknown to create something meaningful, permeates every interaction, every repair, every moment spent under a garage door track.
At Anytime Garage Door, you won’t find pushy upsells or shortcuts. What you will find is a team of hardworking technicians who believe that integrity, skill, and heart can—and should—go hand in hand.
