Side-hinged garage door pairs, Comber (BT23)
Bespoke widths are routine here, since few Comber hinged openings are a stock size.
Perimeter brush and rubber seals matter more on a hinged pair than on any tracked door.
Every Comber pair is hung on a sound frame and covered by a written 12-month warranty.
The common failure in Comber is not the leaves at all, it is the frame they are hung on.
Daily access on a industrial units
Mix of distillery-area commercial and quiet residential, two-stop visits. We build that into every Comber survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Comber is dominated by semi detached and industrial units. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.
Comber sits 9 mi from Belfast and 22 mi from our Dromore yard via the A22.

How we hang a pair in Comber
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Comber 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 Comber wind.

Side-hinged questions from Comber
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.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Comber, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
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.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Comber garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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.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.
