Why old pairs stop meeting in the middle
Ceilings with no clear run for tracks, such as pitched or beamed roofs

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

Dromara side-hinged door FAQ
Q.How long is the lead time to Dromara?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Dromara, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
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.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.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.
