Barn-style side-hinged doors for Cullybackey
Insulated double-skin steel for performance, timber for appearance on older Cullybackey frontages.
Side-hinged pairs come into their own on the rural and period property around Cullybackey where nothing can be tracked across the ceiling.
People ask for side-hinged doors in Cullybackey for access and for looks, rarely for speed.
Bespoke widths are routine here, since few Cullybackey hinged openings are a stock size.
Daily access on a detached housing
Cullybackey sits inside the Fenaghy Road manufacturing catchment, sectional and high-speed quotes come with the territory. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Cullybackey is dominated by semi detached and detached housing. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Cullybackey sits 32 mi from Belfast and 38 mi from our Dromore yard via the A26.
Why Cullybackey keeps coming back
- 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 BT42 openings.
- Written 12-month parts-and-labour warranty on every pair we hang.
Why old pairs stop meeting in the middle
Dropped leaves and hinges pulling out of an old timber frame
Garages used as workshops or stores where daily pedestrian access matters
Ceilings with no clear run for tracks, such as pitched or beamed roofs
How we hang a pair in Cullybackey
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Cullybackey 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 Cullybackey wind.

Side-hinged questions from Cullybackey
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period detached housing where a steel leaf would look wrong.
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.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 Cullybackey frontage.
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.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Cullybackey?
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 Cullybackey.
