The common failure in Ballynahinch is not the leaves at all, it is the frame they are hung on.
When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Ballynahinch

Ballynahinch side-hinged door FAQ
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.
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.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 Ballynahinch frontage.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Ballynahinch, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period semi detached where a steel leaf would look wrong.
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Ballynahinch?
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 Ballynahinch.
