Side hinged garage doors are a type of garage door that swing open horizontally on hinges located on the side of the door frame. They are a popular choice for homeowners who prefer the traditional look and feel of a classic garage door. They are designed to provide easy access to the garage and are particularly useful for people who use their garage for storage or as a workshop. One of the main benefits of side hinged garage doors is that they are very easy to operate, making them a great option for people who want a hassle-free garage door solution.

The simple operating system of side hinges placed on a frame offers easier maintenance, meaning the doors should stand the test of time.
They also make a practical solution for garages that are not being used to store vehicles but instead serving as a gym, home office or even playroom as they offer maximum floor space and easy access.
Side-hinged doors are available in various materials such as timber, steel and GRP (glass reinforced plastic) with each having its own particular benefits:
• Timber: obtainable in a variety of woods including cedar, accoya and oak, a timber side-hinged door often complements other aspects of a home such as fencing, doors and windows.
• Steel: offering a great choice of colours and front effects, steel is a popular choice for those whose prime concern is security as the strong doors are harder to penetrate.
• GRP: giving the appearance of timber, while offering the strength benefits of steel.
