Side-hinged questions from Ballymoney
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.How long is the lead time to Ballymoney?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Ballymoney, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
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.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 Ballymoney frontage.
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Ballymoney?
Because you walk in and out daily. One leaf opens for access without lifting the whole door, which suits garages used as workshops or stores around Ballymoney.
