Belfast side-hinged doors supplied and hung
We hang pairs across Antrim, with Belfast sitting about 18 miles from the Dromore yard.
Bespoke widths are routine here, since few Belfast hinged openings are a stock size.
Access on the A12 Westlink means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.
On a terraced housing the original opening was often built for a hinged pair, so the proportions already suit it.

When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Belfast
Belfast jobs run from Harbour Estate roller-shutter call-outs to terraced sectional swaps off the Lisburn Road. It's why a templated quote for Belfast usually misses something.
On the residential side, Belfast is dominated by terraced housing and warehouses. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Belfast sits 0 mi from Belfast and 18 mi from our Dromore yard via the A12 Westlink (with M1 / M2 / M3 access).
Frame first, then leaves, then locks
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Belfast 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 Belfast wind.

Pairs that no longer meet in the middle so the centre bolt will not throw

Side-hinged questions from Belfast
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 Belfast frontage.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Belfast, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Belfast garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Belfast?
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 Belfast.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period terraced housing where a steel leaf would look wrong.
