Barn-style side-hinged doors for Killyleagh
We hang pairs across Down, with Killyleagh sitting about 27 miles from the Dromore yard.
Killyleagh is served off the A22, and a pair is normally hung in a single visit.
Perimeter brush and rubber seals matter more on a hinged pair than on any tracked door.
coastal properties around Killyleagh frequently have beams, storage or a pitched roof directly above the opening.

Low headroom and pitched roofs around Killyleagh
Strangford-shore salt air is the deciding factor in every Killyleagh spec, powder-coat and gasket choice matter more than headline price. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Killyleagh is dominated by coastal properties and detached housing. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Killyleagh sits 24 mi from Belfast and 27 mi from our Dromore yard via the A22.
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 Killyleagh 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 Killyleagh wind.
Why old pairs stop meeting in the middle
Ceilings with no clear run for tracks, such as pitched or beamed roofs
Pairs that no longer meet in the middle so the centre bolt will not throw
Dropped leaves and hinges pulling out of an old timber frame

Killyleagh side-hinged door FAQ
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Killyleagh, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Killyleagh garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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 coastal properties where a steel leaf would look wrong.
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 Killyleagh frontage.
Q.How long is the lead time to Killyleagh?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
