Aldergrove side-hinged doors supplied and hung
Cargo-hub sectionals cycling at rates only rapid-roll replacements can sustain long-term.
On a logistics depots the original opening was often built for a hinged pair, so the proportions already suit it.
Side-hinged pairs come into their own on the rural and period property around Aldergrove where nothing can be tracked across the ceiling.
Access on the A26 means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.
Low headroom and pitched roofs around Aldergrove
Airport-adjacent commercial units dominate Aldergrove, most quotes here are cargo-cycle sectional or high-speed. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Aldergrove is dominated by logistics depots and warehouses. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.
Aldergrove sits 15 mi from Belfast and 17 mi from our Dromore yard via the A26 (with M2 (via Antrim) access).

How we hang a pair in Aldergrove
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Aldergrove garage.
- 2
Assess the reveal and threshold
Side-hinged doors depend on a sound frame and a level threshold far more than tracked doors do.
- 3
Hang, align and weather seal
Leaves hung on adjustable hinges, brush and rubber seals fitted, then the pair set to meet cleanly.
- 4
Lock and stay fittings
Centre shoot bolts, cylinder lock and hold-open stays so leaves are not left swinging in Aldergrove wind.

Side-hinged questions from Aldergrove
Q.Are they secure?
An insulated steel pair with centre shoot bolts top and bottom plus a cylinder lock is secure. The weak point is always the frame fixing, which is why we renew poor frames.
Q.What does a side-hinged pair cost fitted?
From about £1,150 fitted for an insulated steel pair, with timber and painted-to-RAL finishes higher. We price the frame with the leaves.
Q.Even or uneven split, which is better?
Uneven at roughly one third to two thirds gives you a usable pedestrian leaf every day. Even splits look more symmetrical on a formal Aldergrove frontage.
Q.How long is the lead time to Aldergrove?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period logistics depots where a steel leaf would look wrong.
Q.Do they insulate well?
A double-skin steel pair with full perimeter seals performs well. Timber pairs look better than they insulate unless specified with an insulated core.
