Select side hinge doors, Withington

Select side hinge door, Withington, Manchester

*NOTE* The faint lines across a couple of pictures is rain and not scratches 🙂

Anyway... This recent project was to upgrade the look and security of a garage in the Withington area of Manchester, an area which has some lovely big old houses. The old doors and cladding were timber and this new classic black look was chosen, we think the choice turned out just nicely.

The Select side hinge door come in its own steel frame and the doors themselves are steel. These doors are very secure, when the handle is turns, two substantial steel rods act as drop bolts and lock into the floor and above the door too. We set the doors up so they are easy to use and they have door stays built in, to hold the door open when in use, to close the door is as simple as pulling the pull chord and closing the door manually.

On this installation we also installed an aluminium threshold to the floor. The door sits on top of the threshold and it is sloped on the front and back edge. This helps to take up any unlevel floor and helps as a barrier below the door. It also frames the job off neatly.

The apex of the garage and around the frame was clad in high quality black uPVC that will not fade with age, then the whole job was sealed up neatly. The look fits into the area nicely and the customer was most pleased with the new look garage and felt safer knowing it was much more secure.

Select, Side-hinged doors, Great Sutton

Select side-hinged doors, Great Sutton, Wirral.

A pair of black side-hinged garage doors, made by Select and installed by our team. These doors were fitted for a customer in Great Sutton to replace a pair of timber side hinge doors.

The Select range of side-hinge doors are made of steel and come in their own steel frame, this door has a white frame and we also used white uPCV trims and fascia to give the door a nice framing from the outside, this also matches the style of the front door of the house.

The doors are simple to use and feature high security locks. There are internal and external handles and locks, meaning you can lock the door from the inside without needing your key. The locking is very secure for your peace of mind. "Door stays" are also included, to keep the door from closing on it's own etc.

Side hinge doors can be made to suit your needs. The doors can be split in the middle, as this customer chose, or split to one side, so that one door is larger than the other. This is handy for people who mainly use the door as a personel door.

Maintaining the doors is much easier than having to paint them and coping with timber swelling and doors sticking etc. We removed all the timber from this opening including the old frame. A wipe over with some soapy water now and then will keep the door and surrounding frame looking nice and new.

Garage renovation, Great Sutton, Wirral

Garage renovation in Great Sutton, Wirral.

This large recent job for a customer in Great Sutton involved a full garage renovation, the garage was very long and was to be reduced in size to make room for a larger garden.

After initial contact and discussions with Frank, who is our representative for the Wirral (and dear friend), it was decided that a large part of the front of the garage would be removed, a new Firestone rubber roof was to be fitted, as well as a new pair of steel side-hinged garage doors and a personel door on the side of the garage. Rigorous surveys were carried out alongside our builder to make sure everything went smoothly. We used our own electrician for all electrical jobs too (thanks Syd!).

The first step on the job was for our trusty builder Steve Hartle to remove the old garage roof, take the brickwork back to the desired length of the garage and create an opening for the new garage door. A skip was arranged on site for this work. The rear of the garage was also cleared to make easy access there too.

After this work was completed, our team at Pennine turned up to fit the new roof and doors to the newly altered garage. The fitting work was completed over two days. We first started work on the rubber coated Firestone roof. We take great care when fitting our roofs so that there are no problems such as drainage, puddling of water or leaks etc. Firestone rubber roofs are a very good, long lasting product, so it is important they are fitted properly.

We plan on doing a more detailed blog on our website to look at how we fit this roof system. The roof shown here drained from left to right (looking from front) and also from the front to back, so we installed the new guttering to the right side and rear where the water will run off. There is a small rim on the front and left side of the roof to prevent water running off there.

New uPVC fascias were fitted on all sides of the garage and we installed a new side hinged garage door and side personel door made by Select Garage Doors. Both doors are made out of steel, are highly secure and built to last. After finishing the job with various uPVC trims and sealants, we left the site tidy as we always do and now the customer can plan on what to do with all the space gained...

We think you'll agree that this garage renovation is quite a transformation and shows what can be achieved to suit a customers requirements.

Select, Bowdon side-hinged door, Buxton

July 8, 2017 by Pennine Garage Doors

Select "Bowdon style" side-hinged door in Buxton

We recently fitted this side-hinged door for a customer in Buxton who was finding an up and over door a bit awkward due to a shoulder injury. This new door will be a lot easier to use.

This Select door has an "off centre split" meaning that it has a smaller entrance door on the right and a larger door on the left. This can be configured so the smaller door is on the left, or you can have the split in the middle and have two even sized doors. We often find people choose a smaller side door when the garage isn't being used for a car. "Door stays" are also normally fitted to keep the door open and prevent it from closing unexpectedly.

Select side-hinged doors come in a wide range of colours and styles to suit all tastes. They are very secure and offer a range of upgrades including handles and extra lock security. We are always happy to advise you when choosing your door, so please feel free to contact us for any further information.
