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.

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.

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.
