Side-hinged garage doors for Keady, Armagh
Bespoke widths are routine here, since few Keady hinged openings are a stock size.
Access on the A29 means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.
The typical Keady enquiry here is a garage used as a workshop or store where the door is opened by hand several times a day.
The common failure in Keady is not the leaves at all, it is the frame they are hung on.
Why old pairs stop meeting in the middle
Ceilings with no clear run for tracks, such as pitched or beamed roofs
Dropped leaves and hinges pulling out of an old timber frame
Pairs that no longer meet in the middle so the centre bolt will not throw
Daily access on a rural cottages
Border-country agri jobs, large slab roller doors are the norm. We build that into every Keady survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Keady is dominated by rural cottages and farms. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.
Keady sits 45 mi from Belfast and 22 mi from our Dromore yard via the A29.
How we hang a pair in Keady
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Keady 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 Keady wind.
Why Keady keeps coming back

- Frames renewed rather than reused where the timber has gone, so hinges have something to hold.

Side-hinged questions from Keady
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Keady?
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 Keady.
Q.How long is the lead time to Keady?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
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.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.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 Keady 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.
