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).

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.
