Barn-style side-hinged doors for Lurgan
The common failure in Lurgan is not the leaves at all, it is the frame they are hung on.
Insulated double-skin steel for performance, timber for appearance on older Lurgan frontages.
Steel pairs reach Lurgan in 10-18 working days; painted and timber pairs are finished to order and take longer.
We hang pairs across Armagh, with Lurgan sitting about 10 miles from the Dromore yard.
Daily access on a terraced housing
Silverwood and Carn estates keep our commercial crew busy three days a week. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Lurgan is dominated by terraced housing and industrial units. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Lurgan sits 20 mi from Belfast and 10 mi from our Dromore yard via the A3 (with M1 access).
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
Garages used as workshops or stores where daily pedestrian access matters
How we hang a pair in Lurgan
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Lurgan 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 Lurgan wind.

Side-hinged questions from Lurgan
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Lurgan garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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.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 Lurgan frontage.
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.How long is the lead time to Lurgan?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
