Side-hinged Garage Doors

What is a side-hinged door?

Despite all the advances in opening mechanisms and doors that open upwards, side-hinged garage doors are enjoying something of a renaissance.

There is much more demand and more being sold and installed by us each year.

As the name suggests, this design is just like a traditional side-opening door which is easy to open and gives easy access with no room lost inside the garage.

The huge choice is helping with their revival as now there are styles that suit any style of property and instant appeal.

What are the pros and cons of a side-hinged door?

This style of door has many advantages over the more modern approach. Although not exclusively, they are extremely well suited to a more traditional property.

The door is very easy to open and has the advantage you can gain access without opening the whole door or even all of one door making pedestrian access extremely easy.

A wide range of styles, colours and materials to choose from

Whatever the look of your property there is a side hinged door that will enhance its appearance.

They are available in wood, steel and GRP.

Timber or wood doors can be styled to match your existing designs or, as is often the case these days, can be made to make a statement. Since the garage door is often the first thing a visitor sees this can be used to great effect.

Bi-fold aluminium models are also available from some manufacturers that may suit your requirements as well.
