Hörmann canopy door, Tameside

March 31, 2026 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann canopy garage door, Tameside

Recently installed by our team, this “chartwell green” up-and-over style garage door was chosen to match other features of the same colour on the house. The previous white door is shown in the pictures below to show the difference this lovely installation has made.

Hörmann canopy doors (up and over) are much better than the older types of door we often replace. Made of steel and avaialable in a wide range of styles and colours, these doors are very secure and come in their own steel frame. This reduces the gaps around the door often required with older doors fitted into timber frames. We also fitted a weatherseal to the floor which is optional but closes the gap under the door and keeps weather and leaves out. The door shuts snuggly against the lip on the weatherseal.

With this new door, the timber frame is not needed. So our first job is to remove the door itself in a safe manner (customers should never try to remove a door, due to spring tension that can be dangerous). Then we can remove the timber frame and clean up the brickwork opening of any old sealants etc. We can then lift the new door and frame into place as one unit.

The door is set out neatly in its opening, being careful to fit it level and plumb, so the door operates as it should. Once we are happy with its position, we can fix it into place with the sturdy fixings provided. We then clad the frame in uPVC to neatly frame the door. This also makes it easy to clean and no more painting frames! Lastly the job is neatly sealed up and we always tidy up and remove old materials and the old door from site.

Hörmann canopy door and very easy to operate when setup correctly, we can also provide a service on the door periodically to maintain the spring tension and keep it clean plus lubricated.

Teckentrup side hinge doors, Wirral

September 28, 2025 by Pennine Garage Doors

Teckentrup side hinge doors, Wirral

A recent job by ourselves at Pennine Garage Doors for a customer in the Wirral. Made by Teckentrup who we have a long good relationsip with, these doors ooze quality.

Chosen in blue to replace the previous timber doors that had got awkward to use. Timber doors often swell with our sudden changes in weather and frames rot over the years. This new pair of side hinge doors will not have those issues. The doors come in their own steel frame and are like a composite door, solid, insulated and highly secure. Each time you close these doors, they shut with a reassuring click.

The locking mechanism is both highly secure, simple to use and there are no gaps to tamper with the door like with timber ones. We also installed this door onto an alluminium floor threshold. Which gives the door a level platform and further reduces gaps underneath the door. It also keeps the weather out.

As you can see from the before and after pictures. The old door and frame is first removed and the empty opening cleaned up ready for the new door. We removed the feature above the door to create more height for the new door. We then capped everything off neatly with uPVC in white to frame the doors nicely. Then the job is neatly sealed up with suitable coloured silicone.

This new Teckentrup door and frame wont need painting, just washing with warm soapy water will keep it like new. The old door and materials are removed from site and recycled where possible. We always leave your home nice and tidy too. It’s something we have always prided ourselves on.

There are various styles and many colours that these doors are available in. You can see the full range in the Teckentrup brochure here (opens in new window).

Hörmann canopy door, Denton

September 19, 2025 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann canopy door, Denton, Tameside

Recently installed for a customer in our local area of Denton. This job required us to rebuild some of the front of the garage and to install a new garage door. The door is made by Hörmann and was chosen in a nice rosewood finish. It is a manual up-and-over type door. The style is known as the “Elegance”.

We first started by removing the old door and frame (see pic below), we could then see what we were dealing with. We renewed the front timber above the door as it had rotted a bit. Rather than cladding over it and leaving the wood to rot further, the right thing to do was to replace it. We also clad it neatly with a white uPVC capping board and black roofing trim above it. The white frame gives the door a nice contrast in colour.

Hörmann canopy doors come in their own steel frames. This means there are no gaps to tamper with and the latches/gear provide a very secure system and door. The doors are made of steel and are usually powder coated paint finishes, wood type effects such as this one use a durable foil finish, like uPVC windows etc.

We always install our doors with care and attention so they not only look great but are balanced nicely for ease of use. The door should do most of the lifting for you and can be serviced periodically by us to keep it clean, lubricated and nicely balanced.

We think you’ll agree that this is a nice transformation and the customer was very pleased. We always leave your property tidy and take the old door and materials away to be recycled as appropriate. We want you to enjoy your new door without worrying about mess. We are a family business and have earned a good reputation by providing quality products and installations, we only provide products we trust, rather than cheap doors that won’t last too long.

Hörmann canopy doors are available in a wide range of styles and colours, if you would like to see more on this product, you can view the brochure here.

Carteck side hinged doors, Halifax

Carteck side hinged doors, Halifax

We recently installed this pair of side hinged garage doors for a customer in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Chosen in anthracite grey to match the windows and door on the house. The doors are made by Carteck and fitted by ourselves at Pennine Garage Doors.

Side hinged doors have come a long way since the old timber type that would swell and rot over time. These Carteck doors and the frames are made from sturdy aluminium. The panels are insulated between the aluminium too which creates a solid barrier to weather and helps to keep the house warm. The doors are installed onto an aluminium floor threshold, which means the gaps around the door are kept to a minimum.

There are many neat features on these doors, such as easy to use door stays to keep the doors open when in use, the windows are a scratch reistant polymer material and the handle is high grade stainless steel. Carteck side hinged doors feature a multi-point locking system, giving the doors high security for peace of mind and they close with a reassuring clunk. The hinges are also made to be tamper proof and of high quality.

We take great care when installing our garage doors. This installation was neatly finished off with a matching trim across the top and then we used a cement based sealant in a tube to point in the sides where the stonework is. We find this gives a nice finish that matches the pointing on the stonework and doesn’t stand out like silicone sealant would.

Carteck side hinges garage doors can be ordered with the door split in the middle, or off the one side. Available in a wide range of styles, colours and amazing window options (including round ones), these doors are at the top end of quality in side hinge door.

Select side hinged doors, Woodley, Stockport

Select side hinged garage door, Woodley, Stockport

Here’s a recent installation by our team of a pair of side hinged doors made by Select and installed by Pennine Garage Doors. The customer in Woodley, Stockport chose the door in black which adds some contrast to the white on the house.

The old door that was replaced had become awkward to use and the customer wanted something simple and easy to operate. As you can see by the photos, we started by removing the old door safely so that we had an empty brickwork opening. We then clean up the brickwork of any old paint and sealants.

Most types of garage doors need to be fitted level, but we often find that garage floors are rarely perfect, there are solutions to this and on this job we installed the door onto an alluminium threshold. This is a sturdy strip that runs across the floor that the door sits on. It is levelled from the highest end of the floor and then the gap between the floor and threshold is pointed in with a solid concrete mix and ramped up so there is no trip hazard. This helps to create a nice level surface for the door to sit on whilst keeping the gap under the door to a mimimum.

Select side hinged doors are made from steel and are very sturdy and secure. The locking systems is easy to use and bolts lock in at the top and bottom of the door. Door-stays are also provided, so that when you open the door, it will stay open until you are ready to release the door-stays.

Available in a wide choice of styles and colours, side hinged doors are still a popular choice for some garage door solutions.
