All the elements of a garage door refit

We recently refitted the whole front end of this customer’s garage with new timber cladding and a superb Garador set of side-opening doors.

Our skilled fitters cut away the rotten timber doors and framework before rebuilding the timber work with fresh, treated timbers and then fitting the new doors. The outside was then carefully clad in new tongue and groove cladding and then hand painted in white exterior paint.

Garador side-opening garage doors

Garador now has a new design of side-opening garage doors. They have been revamped for this year and we believe are market leaders in the field. There are a variety of designs, colours and surface finishes to choose from. Have a look here: https://www.garador.co.uk/garador-range/side-hinged-garage-doors.aspx

As well as having 75mm wide galvanised steel door frames, which give a strong and stable door construction, the hinges are concealed in the frame thereby reducing their vulnerability to burglars and providing a seamless appearance across the surface of the door.

Two-point locking for security

A shoot-bolt latch is used to secure the top and bottom of the fixed leaf. This is easily opened and closed using an espagnolette locking system, with a centrally located flip-up handle positioned in the middle of the door.

A door stay at the top of the door, helps to keep the door open and stops it blowing shut, if there are heavy winds. Gas pistons are employed as dampeners for a gentle closing motion.

A 20mm aluminium threshold blocks the flow of air that can pass underneath the door. It is angled facing outwards to allow for the passage of cars into the garage and for any mild water run-off.
