Side Hinged Garage Doors
Side-hinged garage doors combine robust and reliable performance with easy personal access. These doors normally open outwards but there are also options for inward opening. A neat internal finish without the need for tracks, springs or cables means side hinged doors are popular with clients that have converted garages into offices, gyms or playrooms

TIMBER AND STEEL SIDE OPENING GARAGE DOORS

Here at Doorfit, we are proud to offer an extensive range of side-hinged garage doors at extremely competitive prices.
WHY CHOOSE A SIDE-HINGED GARAGE DOOR?
- Easy Access Solution: This style of garage door is the perfect choice when you want to be able to conveniently access your property for example due to a garage conversion and when you may have obstructions within your garage.
- Automated Options Available: side opening doors can be automated with the use of an electric operator, including those from Hörmann and Garador, to make operation even simpler.
- Flexible Opening Options: As well as the conventional 1/2 & 1/2 split, where frequent access is required, the popular 2/3 & 1/3 split is also an available solution. The smaller of the two garage doors then becomes a practical personnel door for easy and secure everyday use.
- Insulation Properties: Our insulated side hinged garage doors (particularly the steel models) offer both great comfort and reduced reliance on heating, giving you the green light to use your outside space as you wish.
- Easy to Maintain: Because they swing open without the use of tracks and don’t need to be hidden away when the garage is in use, garage doors with side hinges rarely need to be replaced. They operate independently of cables, springs and gears, a valuable design feature that can save you lots of money in the long run.
- Variety of designs: A wide variety of designs, finishes, colours, and window options are available to suit any property
- Available in standard and bespoke sizes: Can be selected in standard or bespoke sizes to fit specific requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are side hinged garage doors secure?
Side-hinged garage doors help to bolster home security by giving users the ability to access their garages without opening them fully. This can keep valuables hidden from sight. The security of your garage door will be elevated if it has a double skin. Garage door locks, which are supplied with models as standard, can also safeguard your property from attack.
What are the advantages of wood garage doors?
Eye-catching in appearance and easy to repair, wooden garage doors are just as popular as their steel counterparts. Some of the biggest benefits of choosing a wooden garage door design include wood’s soundproof nature, as well as its durability and timeless charm. It is also open to customisation.
Should a garage side door swing in or out?
Ordinarily, the side-hinged door swings out from the opening, leaving the space inside the garage clear. However, for clients with sloping or short drives, we can provide side-hinged doors that swing into the garage. We also offer bifold options on some doors, which can reduce the amount of space required for the door to open.
Do I need planning permission to put a side-hinged door on my garage?
Typically, planning permission isn't required as a new door doesn’t change the building's footprint. You may need to seek guidance if you live in a listed building or the property is in a conservation area.
