Barn-style side-hinged doors for Banbridge
Perimeter brush and rubber seals matter more on a hinged pair than on any tracked door.
Banbridge is served off the A1, and a pair is normally hung in a single visit.
Hold-open stays and centre shoot bolts included on Banbridge installs.
We hang pairs across Down, with Banbridge sitting about 7 miles from the Dromore yard.
Dropped leaves and failed frames in BT32
Dropped leaves and hinges pulling out of an old timber frame
Pairs that no longer meet in the middle so the centre bolt will not throw
Garages used as workshops or stores where daily pedestrian access matters
Low headroom and pitched roofs around Banbridge
A1 access means we can be at a Huntley Road unit inside 15 minutes from Dromore. We build that into every Banbridge survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Banbridge is dominated by detached housing and industrial units. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Banbridge sits 24 mi from Belfast and 7 mi from our Dromore yard via the A1 (with M1 (Sprucefield) access).
How we hang a pair in Banbridge
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Banbridge 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 Banbridge wind.

Banbridge side-hinged door FAQ
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Banbridge garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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.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 Banbridge frontage.
Q.How long is the lead time to Banbridge?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
