Side Hinged Garage Doors
Made-to-measure side hinged garage doors combining easy access, security and traditional styling, professionally installed across Bolton, Warrington, Kendal and the North West.
Side Hinged Garage Doors
Side hinged garage doors offer a practical alternative to traditional lifting garage doors, particularly when your garage is used for more than simply parking a car. Opening outwards like a conventional pair of doors, they provide quick and convenient access without requiring you to open the entire garage.
At Central Garage Doors, we supply and professionally install made-to-measure side hinged garage doors across Bolton, Warrington, Kendal and the wider North West. Available in a wide range of colours, designs and finishes, each door can be configured to complement your property while providing reliable everyday access.
Side hinged doors are particularly popular for garages used as workshops, storage areas, utility spaces or simply somewhere you regularly need to access on foot. Open one leaf, step inside and close it behind you — without exposing the entire contents of your garage.
Centre & Off-Centre Opening Options
Depending on the dimensions of your garage and how you intend to use it, side hinged garage doors can be supplied with either a centre or off-centre split.
A traditional centre split provides two similarly sized door leaves, creating a balanced appearance when viewed from outside.
An off-centre split creates one smaller pedestrian-style access door alongside a larger secondary leaf. This can be particularly convenient if you frequently enter your garage on foot, as only the smaller section needs to be opened for everyday access.
Our team can assess your garage opening and discuss the different configurations available to find the most practical solution.
Insulated & Non-Insulated Side Hinged Doors
We offer both insulated and non-insulated side hinged garage doors, allowing you to choose an option suited to how your garage is used.
Insulation can be particularly worthwhile where the garage is attached to your home or regularly used as a workshop, utility area, gym or other functional space. If thermal performance isn’t a major consideration, a non-insulated door can provide a straightforward and cost-effective alternative.
We’ll help you compare the options based on your property, requirements and budget.

FAQ’S
Frequently Asked Questions
What are side hinged garage doors?
Side hinged garage doors consist of two door leaves that open outwards rather than lifting upwards. They operate much like conventional double doors and allow you to open just one side when you need quick pedestrian access to the garage.
What is the advantage of a side hinged garage door?
One of the biggest advantages is convenient everyday access. You don’t need to open the entire garage door whenever you want to retrieve something, making them particularly practical for garages used for storage, workshops, utilities or hobbies.
Are side hinged garage doors made to measure?
Yes. We offer high-quality made-to-measure side hinged garage doors, allowing the doors to be specified for the dimensions of your garage opening and your preferred configuration.
Can I have an unequal or off-centre split?
Yes. Depending on the dimensions and design of the door, both centre and off-centre configurations are available. An off-centre split can provide a smaller pedestrian door for convenient everyday access alongside a larger secondary leaf.
Are side hinged garage doors insulated?
Both insulated and non-insulated side hinged garage doors are available. An insulated option may be worth considering if your garage is attached to your home or used regularly as a workshop, utility area or other functional space.
Do side hinged garage doors need internal tracks?
Side hinged doors open outwards and therefore don’t require the same overhead tracking arrangement used by many lifting garage doors. This can help keep the ceiling and internal garage space clear.
Are different colours and designs available?
Yes. Side hinged garage doors are available in a broad selection of colours, designs and finishes, giving you plenty of choice when matching the door to the style of your property.
