Side-hinged garage doors for Broughshane, Antrim
We hang pairs across Antrim, with Broughshane sitting about 37 miles from the Dromore yard.
Steel pairs reach Broughshane in 10-18 working days; painted and timber pairs are finished to order and take longer.
Village-centre stone cottages with narrow lintels and modern insulation demands.
Access on the A42 means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.
Low headroom and pitched roofs around Broughshane
Broughshane is famed for its floral displays, we default to conservative finish tones that don't fight the streetscape. We build that into every Broughshane survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Broughshane is dominated by detached housing and rural cottages. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Broughshane sits 30 mi from Belfast and 37 mi from our Dromore yard via the A42.

Side-hinged questions from Broughshane
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.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Broughshane garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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 Broughshane frontage.
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Broughshane?
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 Broughshane.
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.
