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 side hinge doors, Neston, Wirral

Select side hinge doors, Neston, Wirral

Recently installed for a customer in Neston, a nice pair of side hinge doors made by Select and chosen in a nice blue to add a splash of colour to the house.

Before we had the option of up-and-over doors and newer automatic doors, most garage doors were timber side hinge doors. Things have come a long way since then and although we can still supply quality timber doors (which are actually more expensive), these modern side hinge doors are made of steel. They are built with an integral steel frame, which means that the whole installation is one well built component. Requiring minimum gaps unlike timber doors and featuring highly secure locking systems.

No more rotting timber frame legs or doors and no more painting required. These Select side hinge doors are polpular with customers who just need a side door for access, with the option to open both doors if needed, another reason is they might not have the room inside the garage for any type of door that goes back into the garage.

This door was chosen with an off-centre split of the doors, with the smaller door on the left. Once that door is open, the other larger door can be opened. You can also order the door with the small door on either side, or have two even door sizes split in the middle.

We install door-stays that will keep the doors open when in use. There is a very secure multi point locking mechanism on the door for peace of mind too. As usual with all our installations, great care is taken from removing your old door and frame, to installing the new one nice and level and looking good to the eye. We finish off any gaps around the door in matching uPVC trims and seal up to the brickwork in quality sealants.

For a closer look at this product and the many options on styles and colours, you can view the brochure here.

Teckentrup side hinge doors, Wirral

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 Rollmatic T, Heswall, Wirral

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Heswall, Wirral

Recently installed by ourselves, this fully automatic roller door was installed for a customer in Heswall in the Wirral. Chosen in a colour to match other features on the house, we think it compliments the customers home nicely.

Made by Hörmann, a leader in garage doors, this Rollmatic T automatic roller door has some nice features and many of our customers who have automatic doors fitted by us often tell us it is one of the best things they have bought. We hear this lots when going back to service garage doors, it’s a nice compliment and shows that people feel the benefits of the insulation and ease of use.

As well as being fully automated, Hörmann Rollmatic T doors are fully insulated and seal to the floor nicely with a rubber seal on the bottom of the door curtain. If the floor is uneven, we can also fit a rubber weather seal on the floor (as shown in picture). The door closes on the front edge of the floor seal and creates a nice seal against weather and cold. They are very durable and help to protect the bottom of the door too.

Operating the door is as simple as just pressing a button on a remote control, two remotes are supplied as standard. You can also operate the door from the internal control box that is installed inside the garage at the side of the door. The control box also has a light on it that will come on when the door is in use to provide some light in the garage, it stays on for a few minutes too. The door has a built in safety system that will kick in if the door touches an obstacle while closing.

As you can see by the photos, we take great care when installing our doors. We are also careful when we remove the old doors and frame etc. All materials are removed from site by us and recycled where possible. We also leave your home nice and tidy, as we understand that mess left by tradesmen is not a nice thing to deal with. We want you to enjoy your new door and not have to worry about tidying up.

The door itself and frame is mainly sturdy aluminium. The door laths have a thick insulation in between the aluminium. We offer an service plan to our customers to help maintain the garagee door too. The prices are reasonable for this and we find it helps to keep the door working and looking like new. The whole installation is checked, components and door cleaned thoroughly, safety system checked and any batteries changed etc. Manufacturers like this to be done too, to help keep the warranty valid.

Fence and gate, Parkgate, Wirral

Fence and Select Door. Parkgate, Wirral

Sometimes we do more than just garage doors. This job was requested by a customer in Parkgate, Wirral. The project involved us building a fence and gate to box off the garden and provide privacy and security.

Instead of a usual timber fence. It was decided to build a timber studding, which would be then clad in matching uPVC to surround the steel door (made by Select). This means the whole installation is very strong, is much easier to maintain, just by wiping over with warm, soapy water and wont rot over time due to the timber being protected. The steel “Select” personnel door is very sturdy and features a secure locking system.

We use Select for our side-hinge door installations. They provide a good range of steel, side-hinge doors in a range of configurations and colours, as well as personnel doors like this one.

For a closer look at the Select door range, you can view the brochure here, or feel free to contact us to arrange a free survey.
