Moneymore · BT45 · Londonderry
Side-hinged garage door pairs, Moneymore (BT45)
Conservation-frontage main street mixed with light-industrial units needing very different specs.
Access on the A29 means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.
Every Moneymore pair is hung on a sound frame and covered by a written 12-month warranty.
Bespoke widths are routine here, since few Moneymore hinged openings are a stock size.
When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Moneymore
Moneymore sits on the M22-to-A29 corridor, plantation-era streetscape but modern industrial units either side of town. It's why a templated quote for Moneymore usually misses something.
On the residential side, Moneymore is dominated by detached housing and farms. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Moneymore sits 40 mi from Belfast and 40 mi from our Dromore yard via the A29.

Moneymore side-hinged door FAQ
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 Moneymore frontage.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Moneymore, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
Q.How long is the lead time to Moneymore?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
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.
