Barn-style side-hinged doors for Lisburn
Perimeter brush and rubber seals matter more on a hinged pair than on any tracked door.
The typical Lisburn enquiry here is a garage used as a workshop or store where the door is opened by hand several times a day.
On a logistics depots the original opening was often built for a hinged pair, so the proportions already suit it.
The common failure in Lisburn is not the leaves at all, it is the frame they are hung on.

When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Lisburn
Half our Knockmore work is repeat business from logistics tenants on Altona Road. It's why a templated quote for Lisburn usually misses something.
On the residential side, Lisburn is dominated by semi detached and detached housing. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.

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 Lisburn 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 Lisburn wind.

Side-hinged questions from Lisburn
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 Lisburn?
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 Lisburn, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
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 Lisburn frontage.
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.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Lisburn?
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 Lisburn.
