The traditional side hinge garage door combines robust and reliable performance, with simple personal access. Consisting of two panels opening outwards, this option is great for those with limited internal garage space, but more external space. Available in steel, timber and GPR and in a range of different styles and colours/stains and glazing elements, the side hinge door is a staple of a traditional garage.
The side hinge manufactures that we fit, are tried and tested and supply a robust product with a reliable warranty. This option is a great way to capitalise on internal space, while giving the modern look of a steel door, the traditional look of a timber door or the hard wearing look of a GRP door.
Available as 50/50 split or 70/30 split, the door includes as standard an aluminium floor threshold, a pair of door stays which keep the doors in the open position, as well as pair of gas piston openers designed to aid in the opening of the doors.
The side hinge door is available in either steel, timber or GRP with a multitude of various designs, colours, stains and finishes to choose from. It comes with the option of glazing elements and has the ability to be motorised either on the day of fitting, or at a later date.
Choose from various different side hinged door designs, each available in a variety of surface finishes and colours. Some examples shown below:
