How Side Hinged Garage Doors work

Side Hinged Garage Doors open outwards. With double leaf doors, you can open one side for quick entry or both for full access to the garage space. These doors have been designed with hidden hinges which mean they are less vulnerable to attack by burglars. Garador has further enhanced security by upgrading the locking system - the door can quickly and easily be secured by two shoot-bolt latches.

Installation process

Installing Side Hinged Garage Doors is a straightforward process. Our experienced team will ensure the doors are properly aligned and securely fixed, with minimal disruption to your routine. The installation typically takes around 4-5 hours.

Durable, secure and weather resistant

Side Hinged Garage Doors have reinforced steel frames, hidden hinges and secure locking systems, they provide excellent protection for your home and belongings. Weather resistant features include: door stays to prevent doors from blowing shut in windy conditions, concealed rubber seals, and an aluminium threshold to minimise draughts.
