When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Randalstown

How we hang a pair in Randalstown
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Randalstown 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 Randalstown wind.

Side-hinged questions from Randalstown
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 Randalstown?
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 Randalstown.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Randalstown, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
Q.Do side-hinged doors need headroom?
Almost none, which is the point. They suit Randalstown garages with pitched roofs, low lintels, beams or storage above where tracks simply will not fit.
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.How long is the lead time to Randalstown?
10-18 working days, longer for painted-to-RAL and timber pairs which are finished to order.
