Newtownards side-hinged door FAQ
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Newtownards garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
Q.How long is the lead time to Newtownards?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
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 Newtownards?
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 Newtownards.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period retail units where a steel leaf would look wrong.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Newtownards, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
