Traditional looks, modern security
Side-hinged garage doors open outwards on hinges, just like a traditional pair of cottage doors — a classic look that suits period and character properties, without compromising on modern security or insulation. Garage Door Secure supplies and installs side-hinged garage doors across Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Solihull and throughout the Midlands.
Why choose a side-hinged garage door?
- Full walk-through access — open just one leaf for quick access without operating the whole door
- No overhead track — keeps your garage ceiling free for storage or a workshop
- Classic appearance — a natural fit for period, cottage and character homes
- Strong security — multi-point locking systems and robust steel or timber-effect construction
- Manual or electric — automate opening if you’d prefer not to get out of the car
Materials and finishes
Side-hinged doors are available in a wide range of materials and finishes to suit your property, including insulated steel panels, timber-effect GRP, and traditional timber. Choose from an extensive range of colours and woodgrain finishes, with optional glazed sections if you’d like natural light into the garage.
We work with leading manufacturers including Hörmann, Garador and Cardale to supply doors that are built to last and backed by a manufacturer warranty.
Side-hinged vs other garage door types
Unlike a sectional or roller garage door, which lift vertically, a side-hinged door swings open outwards from the sides. This makes it a good choice where you want walk-through access without opening the full door, or where headroom for an overhead track is limited. It’s worth weighing up against a roller or sectional door based on how you use your garage day-to-day — our team is happy to talk through the pros and cons for your property during a free survey.
Installation and aftercare
Every side-hinged door we install comes with a minimum 2-year warranty and is fitted by our own experienced installation team — no subcontractors. Once installed, our servicing and maintenance team can keep your door’s hinges, locks and finish in good condition for years to come, and our repairs team is on hand if anything ever needs attention.
