Side-hinged garage doors for Templepatrick, Antrim
Perimeter brush and rubber seals matter more on a hinged pair than on any tracked door.
Access on the A6 means the survey and the fit can sit in the same week.
On a new build estates the original opening was often built for a hinged pair, so the proportions already suit it.
Steel pairs reach Templepatrick in 10-18 working days; painted and timber pairs are finished to order and take longer.

Low headroom and pitched roofs around Templepatrick
Junction 5 of the M2 means Templepatrick is 20 minutes door-to-door from our Dromore yard on a good run. That shapes how we quote a side-hinged door job here.
On the residential side, Templepatrick is dominated by new build estates and detached housing. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.

Frame first, then leaves, then locks

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.

Side-hinged questions from Templepatrick
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 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.Can you match an existing timber pair?
Yes, we make framed and ledged timber pairs to match period new build estates where a steel leaf would look wrong.
Q.Why choose side-hinged over a roller in Templepatrick?
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 Templepatrick.
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.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.
