Low headroom and pitched roofs around Dromore
Our yard sits on Mount Street, so most local jobs are sorted same-day. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Dromore is dominated by detached housing and semi detached. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.
Dromore sits 18 mi from Belfast and 0 mi from our Dromore yard via the A1 (with M1 (via Hillsborough) access).
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 Dromore 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 Dromore wind.

Pairs that no longer meet in the middle so the centre bolt will not throw

Side-hinged questions from Dromore
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period rural cottages 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.
Q.How long is the lead time to Dromore?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
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.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.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Dromore garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.

"Headquartered locally, most BT25 calls are seen the same day."
- 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.
