Side Hinged Garage Doors
So why not choose a side hinge garage door today?
Consider a side hinge garage door if you’re looking for an easily accessible option for your garage. These doors are ideal if you only want to pop into the freezer or get the lawnmower out. They come in a 1/3-2/3 or a 50/50 arrangement. However, if needed, we can make your door to your exact size requirements, fitting to a new colour-matched steel galvanised frame.
There have been a lot of advancements over the years with garage door technology; however, simple side-hinged garage doors are still a popular choice. These doors open outwards rather than rolling up. They are one of the most in-demand garage door types on the market, and we see no shortage in their popularity in the years ahead.
- They allow for easier access to the garage.
- They provide better insulation and security.
- They are quieter.
- They are more durable.
- They are more secure.
Easier access
Side-hinged garage doors come built onto their own steel frame and open outwards to provide clear and unrestricted space within the garage. You can get into it by opening the garage door a little, halfway or fully, which saves you time waiting for a roller garage door, for example.
If you’re looking for a garage door that opens from both sides, you should consider a side-hinged garage door. These doors only open from one side, which means you can still access your car from either side. However, because they open from only one side, you’ll be able to close them from either side. That makes it easier to keep your garage organised since you won’t have to worry about moving things around to get into your car.
Provides insulation and security
Our side-hinged garage doors have double skin with 40mm thick aluminium foam-filled panels giving you excellent draught-proofing, which offers excellent insulation to the garage. Due to their strength, they are effectively perfect security too.
Also, these garages provide full drive-through height and a shoot bolt latch at the top and bottom of the door.
Steel hinges are securely fitted to the frame to ensure reliable function. Weather seals around three sides of the door help to prevent drafts. The centre style on the right side door’s edge helps prevent forced entry to the locking system.
Stylish
Choosing a style is easy when there is a fantastic selection to match your house, whether you have modern, traditional or something in between. We are confident there is a style for you.
Quiet
Due to their simplicity, these garage doors are the quietest out of the range. Let’s admit there is nothing worse than having the loudest garage door mechanisms in the neighbourhood. We recommend a side-hinged garage door if you wish not to disturb neighbours or those who live with you.
Materials options
Over the years, the demand for side-hinged doors has grown regarding the materials used to build these garage doors. You can now find them in a range of different kinds of materials, including wood, steel and uPVC.

Gloss White and Timber effect GRP finishes
Our GRP timber-effect side-hinged doors have a woodgrain surface finish that imitates the texture of natural wood. The Arden and Arden windows come in a tasteful, resilient white gloss finish for a smooth and stylish finish.
Quality craftsmanship and exquisite timber designs
Our timber side-hinged garage doors combine quality craftsmanship with the exquisite beauty of natural wood. We use the materials to build a door that will last many years. Choose Solid Cedar designs from Western Red Cedar or Elizabethan ranges made from marine-grade plywood and solid cedar.
Steel and timber garage side doors
To further enhance the appearance of your garage, we can now provide a side door to match many of our Up & Over designs. These doors are produced in much the same way as our Up & Over doors, showing the exact details and finished in the same colours to provide a perfect match.
Robust and reliable performance
Our side-hinged garage doors have been designed to provide years of reliable use and excellent security. A 75mm wide galvanised steel door frame gives a strong and stable door construction. The hinges are concealed in the frame reducing their vulnerability to burglars and providing a seamless appearance across the door’s surface, as no hinge knuckles are protruding.
