The Garador Side Hinged Garage Door Range
Side Hinged Garage Doors
Retrieve larger items with ease
With an intuitively simple and easy-to-use design, our side-hinged doors are ideal for garages where frequent access is required to store and retrieve larger items such as bicycles or garden tools. The outward opening doors and door stays, make it simple to grab what you need without holding the door open and the lever handle means you can still get in even when your hands are full.
Knowing it's secure, for peace of mind
2-point locking provides an excellent level of security and concealed hinges reduces the doors vulnerability to burglars, so you know your possessions are protected for peace of mind.
Reliable operation, even in blustery conditions
Both doors open outwards, providing unimpeded access into the garage. Gas pistons ensure a reliably gentle closing motion and door stays stop the door from blowing shut, even in blustery conditions.
Maximise the space inside your garage
With our side-hinged design, there are no tracks or lifting gear mechanisms going back into the garage, and because both doors open outwards you have clear and unrestricted use of the full space within the garage; from the floor all the way up to the ceiling.
Excellent drive-through width
When parking your car inside the garage, there are no lifting arms taking up space in the opening like with an up & over garage door. As a result, you have close to full use of the drive-through opening width to park your car inside the garage.
A choice of materials
Steel
We use high-grade galvanised steel to manufacture our steel side-hinged garage door range. A zinc coating protects the base metal, acting as a barrier to corrosive elements. A generous layer of powder-coat paint is applied to all surfaces of the door panel, using a state-of-the-art colour system, to safeguard against weathering and corrosive substances in the general environment. The material is cost effective and long-lasting.
GRP
The Garador grp side-hinged garage door range is made using glass reinforced polyester, which sits in a steel box-section chassis. The polyester material is reinforced with very fine strands of glass and placed into a mould to create either a smooth gloss white surface or woodgrain surface texture. The material is lightweight, durable and easy to maintain.
Timber
Our Cedar side-hinged range is made from solid red cedar, whilst the Elizabethan range is made from solid red cedar with a plywood backing. Cedar wood has natural self-protective qualities that prevent warping, cracking or rotting. Okoume marine grade plywood is used for Elizabethan range. Both materials are highly durable and if properly maintained, could last a lifetime.
Robust and reliable performance
Our side-hinged garage doors have been designed to provide years of reliable use and excellent security. A 75 mm wide galvanised steel door frame gives a strong and stable door construction. The hinges are concealed in the frame reducing their vulnerability to burglars and providing a seamless appearance across the surface of the door, as there are no hinge knuckles protruding.
Two-point locking for security A shoot-bolt latch is used to secure the top and bottom of the fixed leaf. This is easily opened and closed using an espagnolette locking system, with a centrally located flip-up handle positioned in the middle of the door.
Door stays and dampeners A door stay at the top of the door, helps to keep the door open and stops it blowing shut, if there are heavy winds. Gas pistons are employed as dampeners for a gentle closing motion.
Sturdy weatherproof rubber seals all round There are strong weather proof seals built into the door frame and along the door stop on both the fixed and leading door leaf. This helps to prevent drafts inside the garage and keep the rain and wind outside.
Aluminium threshold A 20 mm aluminium threshold blocks the flow of air that can pass underneath the door. It is angled facing outwards to allow for the passage of cars into the garage and for any mild water run-off.
