Craigavon side-hinged doors supplied and hung
Steel pairs reach Craigavon in 10-18 working days; painted and timber pairs are finished to order and take longer.
Every Craigavon pair is hung on a sound frame and covered by a written 12-month warranty.
The common failure in Craigavon is not the leaves at all, it is the frame they are hung on.
Craigavon is served off the A3, and a pair is normally hung in a single visit.
When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Craigavon
Planned town layout means clean access, quick installs around Rushmere. We build that into every Craigavon survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Craigavon is dominated by new build estates and retail units. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.
Craigavon sits 22 mi from Belfast and 10 mi from our Dromore yard via the A3 (with M1 access).
Why local customers stick with us
"Strong retail-park presence; out-of-hours installs are routine here."
- We fit side-hinged pairs on rural and period properties across Northern Ireland where tracked doors will not work.
- Frames renewed rather than reused where the timber has gone, so hinges have something to hold.
- Hold-open stays fitted as standard on exposed BT64 openings.
- Written 12-month parts-and-labour warranty on every pair we hang.
Why old pairs stop meeting in the middle
Garages used as workshops or stores where daily pedestrian access matters
Dropped leaves and hinges pulling out of an old timber frame
Ceilings with no clear run for tracks, such as pitched or beamed roofs
How we hang a pair in Craigavon
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Craigavon 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 Craigavon wind.

Side-hinged questions from Craigavon
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Craigavon?
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 Craigavon.
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.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 Craigavon frontage.
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Craigavon garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period new build estates where a steel leaf would look wrong.
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.
