Sugilite's flail was also Garnet's gauntlets and Amethyst's whip before they fused into a single weapon. Fusions can't summon fusion weapons instantaneously because the Gems that fuse together in order to create them each had their own signature wepons that they summoned from their gemstones, (wherever their gemstones are located on their body.) Opal can't just materialize her bow and arrow because neither of her gems summon that weapon; she first has to summon Amethyst's whip and Pearl's spear and then combine the two. If Garnet were really a fusion Gem, she would have to combine two different weapons in order to form her signature gauntlets. As for the temple door, garnets can come in blue! It's an extremely rare occurence though, and the fact that her gems on the door are blue and red garnets probably represents something really important about her character that we aren't aware of at this point in the show yet.

Well, just because it hasn't happened yet does not mean it is impossible, it's still too soon to conclude that the summoning of the seperate weapons first is necessary for the fused weapon.

As for the temple door, I understand that garnets can come in blue, but it's more about Garnet's gem. It is a deep red, not blue. The other gems on the door are shown accessed by the Gems and are of the respective colors. Pearl opened White, Amethyst opened Purple, and Rose's Room is the Rose one. It's the fact that there are two seperate ones, both blue and red, and both shine when the single room is opened, rather than a single room with a single gem colored dark red.
