Daily access on a detached housing
Orchard country, farm steadings and converted out-buildings are common quotes. It's why a templated quote for Richhill usually misses something.
On the residential side, Richhill is dominated by rural cottages and farms. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Richhill sits 35 mi from Belfast and 15 mi from our Dromore yard via the A3.
How we hang a pair in Richhill
- 1
Confirm the split and the swing
Even or uneven, and outward or inward opening, decided against how you actually use the Richhill 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 Richhill wind.

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