When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Newry
Carnbane logistics tenants treat a stuck shutter as an emergency, we treat it the same. We build that into every Newry survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Newry is dominated by terraced housing and warehouses. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Newry sits 38 mi from Belfast and 18 mi from our Dromore yard via the A1 (with M1 (north via Banbridge) access).
How we hang a pair in Newry
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Newry 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 Newry wind.

Side-hinged questions from Newry
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.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period industrial units where a steel leaf would look wrong.
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.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Newry garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Newry, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
Why Newry keeps coming back
- We fit side-hinged pairs on rural and period properties across Northern Ireland where tracked doors will not work.
- Frames renewed rather than reused where the timber has gone, so hinges have something to hold.
- Hold-open stays fitted as standard on exposed BT34 openings.
- Written 12-month parts-and-labour warranty on every pair we hang.
