Select side hinge door, Heswall, Wirral

Recent installation by us for a customer on the Wirral. The doors are made by Select and chosen in white. Read on for more information about this job…

Side hinge doors have come a long way since most houses had them, before up and over doors etc. Most were heavy timber door that would need constant painting and would swell with weather causing them to stick. There are no such issues with these modern side hinge doors. Made from steel, they come in their own steel frame and in a variety of designs and colours. This door is split in the middle, you can also order the door with the split to the left or right. So that you have a small door and a larger one.

The doors are simple to use and have some good features, such as its solid locking mechanism that can be locked from either side and strong drop bolts. Each door has a “door stay” that will hold the door in the open position until its released. This door was also fitted on an alluminium floor threshold. This is for when floors are not very level and keeps the gap under the door to a minium. It means having a small bump in the floor, but this is often better than a gap that gets bigger as the floor tapers off.

When we install our doors, all of the old door is taken out and any brickwork stained by the previous sealant or paint is cleaned up. Doors are always fitted level and plumb and set up so they are easy to use. All jobs are finished off neatly with matching uPVC trims to finish the framing off and sealed up to brickwork. All old materials are removed from site and disposed off responsibly. Side hinge doors are still popular with some customers for various reasons.

Select, Gisburn style doors, Glossop

Select, Gisburn style, side hinge doors, Glossop

Recently installed by ourselves for a customer in Glossop, Derbyshire. These side hinged doors add a nice contrast to the colours on the house and are a practical solution for customers that require this type of door.

Side hinge doors are available in many different colours and styles. This style is known as the Gisburn and has an off centre split. You can also have the doors split in the middle or with the smaller door on either side, like this one. Unlike older style side hinge doors, these doors come in their own steel frames, which means there are no gaps to tamper with the door. The locking system on these Select doors is very secure and simple to operate. The hinges and hardware is very solid and tamper proof.

As with all our installations, we start by removing the old door and the old timber frame, then clean up the openings of any old sealant etc. All the old materials are removed from site by us and recycled appropriately. We can then start to carefully get the doors into position and get them central and level. This type of door usually gets installed on top of an aluminium floor threshold that bonds to the floor and allows for the minimum gap under the door.

After installing the doors. We added uPVC trims to the frame to neatly frame the job in matching white trims. Then we neatly seal up to the brickwork using a colour the blends in nicely (as shown in the close-up pic). All our jobs are left nice and tidy too.

Select side hinged doors, Audenshaw

Select side hinged garage doors, Audenshaw

A recent installation of high quality, side hinged doors for a customer in Audenshaw, Tameside. The door was installed onto an alluminium floor threshold that comes with these doors so that there are no gaps underneath. The doors close against weather seals all around the doors to keep it fully insulated. The thresholds also help if there is a slight slope of the drive.

Side hinged doors are still very popular for a lot of people. These Select garage doors are of a very high standard, featuring a solid locking system and very sturdy hinges that you cannot tamper with. The doors come in their own steel frame, which reduces the need for any timber frames and gaps around the doors.

As you can see from the work in progress pictures, we started by removing the old door and timber frame to leave us with an empty opening. We decide on the ideal fitting position of the door and then start to lay out the floor threshold with the aid of a laser level. Garage doors need to be installed level, but we find many floors are not as level. So to keep the gap under the door to a minimum, this is an ideal solution. It is cemented in with a nice solid mix and then we slope it neatly to meet the floor. The threshold sits on the floor at its highest end and is the perfectly leveled across.

When the threshold is fixed into place, we can then install the door using strong fixings to the brickwork. The job is finished off with uPVC trims around the frame and neatly sealed to the brickwork. The door also features “door stays” that hold the doors open and are simple to release. The handle and lock are sturdy stainless steel and the finish on the doors is a nice silk type finish.

Select side hinged doors are available in many colours and styles to suit any features on your house. Windows can be added to, even nice modern round windows. For a closer look, you can view the brochure here.

Select side hinge doors, Hyde

Select side hinge doors, Hyde, Tameside

Sometimes a customer wants a traditional side hinge type of garage door. This could be for various reasons, including lack of space in the garage for an up-and-over door for instance. This classic looking door was installed for a customer in Hyde, Tameside. The white framing helps to create a nice contrast to the brickwork.

As usual, we start by removing the old door and timber frame, being careful not to disturb any brickwork. When we are left with an empty brickwork opening, we clean the brick of old sealants and paint. Then we can lift the garage door into place. These Select doors come as a complete unite. The door is made of steel and has it’s own steel frame. This means that unlike many older doors, there are no big gaps to tamper with between the door and the frame.

The security on the Select side hinge door is also very robust. With sturdy locking bars that lock the door in multiple places, both up and downwards. The doors are very simple to use and they also feature “door stays” that will hold the doors open until you are ready to release the door stay and close the door again.

Select side hinge doors can also be split different ways. The doors can be split in the middle like these, so both doors are the same size. Or they can be split off-center so there is one large door leaf and one smaller normal size door. There are other options available too, such as with or without windows and many different styles and colours to choose from.

Select side hinge door, Stalybridge

Select side hinge garage door, Stalybridge

Have a look at this lovely conversion of a garage that was recently renovated by our team. The side hinge door is made by Select, with matching uPVC in white.

We have done many garage renovations over the years, we can suppy and fit new windows for your garage too and personnel doors if required. We pride ourselves in our finishing and don’t like to cut corners by cladding over rotten timber etc.

This job first required lots of removal of old cladding and the old doors. We could then get to work rebuilding a solid structure for the door to fit to and also clad around it in uPVC. We think you’ll agree that it has made quite a difference. It is now sealed from the weather and much more secure. Select garage doors feature a solid locking mechanism that provides peace of mind for security.

Side hinge doors can be configured to suit your requirements. They can be split in the middle (like this one), or you can have one smaller door and one larger, on either side.
