How we hang a pair in Limavady
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Limavady 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 Limavady wind.
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
Pairs that no longer meet in the middle so the centre bolt will not throw

Limavady side-hinged door FAQ
Q.How long is the lead time to Limavady?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
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 logistics depots where a steel leaf would look wrong.
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.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.
