Why old pairs stop meeting in the middle
Dropped leaves and hinges pulling out of an old timber frame
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
Low headroom and pitched roofs around Poyntzpass
Poyntzpass sits on the old railway line, village-centre installs need respect for the Victorian streetscape. We build that into every Poyntzpass survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Poyntzpass is dominated by rural cottages and detached housing. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Poyntzpass sits 28 mi from Belfast and 15 mi from our Dromore yard via the A27.
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 Poyntzpass 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 Poyntzpass wind.

Side-hinged questions from Poyntzpass
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Poyntzpass?
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 Poyntzpass.
Q.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period rural cottages where a steel leaf would look wrong.
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.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Poyntzpass garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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 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.
