Airport-adjacent, vibration from low approaches loosens cheap brackets, we use heavier kit. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Crumlin is dominated by rural cottages and agri buildings. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.
Crumlin sits 15 mi from Belfast and 18 mi from our Dromore yard via the A26.
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 Crumlin 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 Crumlin wind.

Side-hinged questions from Crumlin
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.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.How long is the lead time to Crumlin?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
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.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Crumlin?
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 Crumlin.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period agri buildings where a steel leaf would look wrong.
