Barn-style side-hinged doors for Rostrevor
The typical Rostrevor enquiry here is a garage used as a workshop or store where the door is opened by hand several times a day.
Every Rostrevor pair is hung on a sound frame and covered by a written 12-month warranty.
Perimeter brush and rubber seals matter more on a hinged pair than on any tracked door.
Access on the A2 means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.

Low headroom and pitched roofs around Rostrevor
Mournes backdrop, half our Rostrevor quotes are second homes needing low-maintenance specs. It's why a templated quote for Rostrevor usually misses something.

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 Rostrevor 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 Rostrevor wind.

Side-hinged questions from Rostrevor
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.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period coastal properties 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.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Rostrevor?
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 Rostrevor.
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.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 Rostrevor frontage.
