How we hang a pair in Armagh
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Armagh 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 Armagh wind.

Side-hinged questions from Armagh
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Armagh, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
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 Armagh frontage.
Q.Can side-hinged doors be automated?
Yes, with twin swing-arm operators, provided the swing area stays clear. It is less common than roller automation and needs a proper survey.
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.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period industrial units where a steel leaf would look wrong.
Q.How long is the lead time to Armagh?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
