Side Hinged Garage Door 500x300

 

A Timeless Design  

Side hinged garage doors evoke classic homeliness while being combined with a simple and robust outward-opening mechanism which hinges like traditional doors. Typically named side hinged garage doors, but also referred to as side hung garage doors, they suit homes that value traditional appeal and want a cohesive exterior to fit with the rest of the property. For older homes, it's essential to preserve the architectural integrity and period features, which is where this type of garage door comes in. They can add a traditional flair to different properties and enhance the exterior.

Modern Solution  

Even though side hanging garage doors look traditional, don't be mistaken, they offer a range of modern conveniences and designs. We supply garage doors from leading manufacturers such as Garador, Teckentrup, and Hörmann, which come in various finishes and materials to match different aesthetics.

Customisable Opening Options 

 

Side hinged garage doors have a conventional appearance but come with customisable opening options. Choose left or right hand leading, inward or outward opening, and they don't only open into equally sized doors, some doors can also be created to have an asymmetrical design, such as a two-third one third split. This solution is ideal for those looking for regular quick and easy access in and out of the garage, whilst maintaining the option to open both doors for larger equipment and vehicles when needed.

Easy Access and Hassle-Free Installation 

In contrast to other door options like up and over and roller garage doors, side hinged doors open outward. They work well with large driveways that offer the space for this super convenient opening mechanism. 

They also provide easy access without the need for complex or heavy mechanisms. Installation can also be more convenient as there’s no need for additional tracks and spring systems, such as with garage doors like sectional and up and over door types, so you achieve maximum useable space within the garage.

Enhanced Insulation and Security 

Our insulated garage doors are a wise choice for homeowners looking to increase their home's energy efficiency and potentially decrease their bills. They can help maintain a consistent temperature in your garage, which is especially important if you use it as a functioning room, gym, workshop, or home office. 

When it comes to security, we can equip your garage door with an advanced 3-point locking system upgrade to increase the security of your home, as the garage is a major entry point for potential intruders. 

Why Side Hinged Garage Doors are a Great Choice
