What are side hinged garage doors?

Side hinged garage doors are a traditional garage door style, which are hinged at the sides so they can open outwards. Sometimes also known as side opening or 'swing' garage doors.

Side hinged garage doors offer the convenience of easy pedestrian access into your garage, allowing you to nip in and out without having to open the entire garage door and letting in any cold air. These doors are available in a 50/50 split, or 1/3 and 2/3 opening leafs.

Are side hinged garage doors secure?

Absolutely. Most modern side hinged garage doors come with a standard or multi-point locking system. Standard locking is a great and secure option, however the multi-point locking system is more popular for those looking to store more expensive items or when converting their garage to a spare room or extension of the house.

A side hinged door can be insulated for extra energy efficiency, helping trap heat in the garage and reducing your energy bills in the long run.

Converting your side hinged garage door into an electric automated door is relatively simple, as long as the original door panels are strong, properly constructed and the doors open outwards.
