How Side Hinged Garage Doors Work
Side Hinged Garage Doors are designed in a similar way to a front door, in that they are built with three strong hinges on the side of the door which are then attached the garage door frame.
You can choose whether to position the door (leaf) on the left or right-hand side of the garage door, whilst the opposite side remans fixed in place.
Unlike roller and sectional garage doors which open inside your garage, the door (leaf) opens outwards, which means you don’t lose any space inside your garage.
The only compromise of course is that you need to leave a little space on the driveway to ensure the door can open and you can get access.
Despite the doors being quite heavy, such is the quality of the hinges and opening mechanisms, the doors are very easy to open and close, using a stylish handle fitted to the front of the door (leaf).

Our side-hinged garage doors are available in virtually any colour. If you are not too sure what colour would best suit the style of your home, brickwork or windows our surveyors will be happy to show you examples of other garage doors we have installed on different styles of property to help you make the right choice.

Side Hingled garage door security & safety
Many of the manufacturers produce side-hinged garage doors to the highest security standards. For example, Novoferm supply ‘Novoguard Secured by Design’ doors that meet CD5051 and STS202 standards..
What this means in practice is that they have been tested to the highest level of security with the goal of reducing crime.
Most of the manufacturers will supply the doors with a burglar resistant three-point locking system across the width of the door, with a hinge lock. Additional protection is provided by an inside locking handle. The barrel is also reinforced and includes a key for locking from the inside.
When we undertake the site survey and discuss your security needs, we will advise you on what manufacturer to choose from
Why choose a Side Hinged garage door?
Side-Hinged garage doors are great for lots of different applications. Customers tend to choose them when they have a small garage, because the door doesn’t eat into any space inside the garage door. Equally, side-hinged garage doors are popular with customers who have traditional and period properties, particularly if they are in rural areas. To use an analogy, side-hinged doors are almost like the ‘quaker kitchen’ equivolent of the garage door world
What do Side Hinged garage doors cost?
There is a lot of range in side-hinged door costs. Insulated options are naturally more expensive than uninsulated, so that’s something to bear in mind. Equally, the colour and style of side-hinged doors can influence the cost, with white being the cheapest option.
Are Side Hinged garage doors better than roller garage doors?
We tend to find that roller garage doors are a more popular choice than side-hinged garage doors, but this is really about personal choice. Once might argue that on a small, traditional period property a side-hinged garage door looks more in keeping with the style.
Are Side Hinged garage doors more secure than roller garage doors?
To our knowledge there have not been any tests specifically comparing the security of a roller garage door vs a side-hinged garage door. What we do know however, is that side-hinged doors are very secure, because the fixed leaf is securely locked using a door bolt.
