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 Bushmills wind.

Bushmills side-hinged door FAQ
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Bushmills, 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 Bushmills garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
Q.How long is the lead time to Bushmills?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Bushmills?
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 Bushmills.
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.
