When a side-hinged pair is the right call in Warrenpoint
Harbour-side salt air eats cheap galvanising, we spec marine-grade where it matters. We build that into every Warrenpoint survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Warrenpoint is dominated by coastal properties and warehouses. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Warrenpoint sits 45 mi from Belfast and 25 mi from our Dromore yard via the A2.
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.

Lock and stay fittings
Centre shoot bolts, cylinder lock and hold-open stays so leaves are not left swinging in Warrenpoint wind.

Side-hinged questions from Warrenpoint
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 Warrenpoint frontage.
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.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 warehouses where a steel leaf would look wrong.
Q.How do they handle wind on an exposed site?
Hold-open stays are essential near Warrenpoint, otherwise a gust catches a leaf. We fit them as standard on exposed openings.
