Introduction to Side Hinged Garage Doors
Side hinged garage doors are a timeless favourite for homeowners who value traditional design, simple operation, and easy access. With their classic outward-opening style, these doors are perfect for those who use their garage as more than just storage — whether that’s a home workshop, gym, or utility space.
Built with durability and practicality in mind, side hinged doors open like conventional double doors on sturdy hinges. They’re available in steel, timber, or composite materials, offering a balance of strength, insulation, and visual appeal to complement any property style.
How Side Hinged Garage Doors Work
Unlike roller or sectional doors, which open vertically, side hinged doors open outwards (or sometimes inwards, if preferred) on hinges fixed to the sides of the frame. Each leaf can be configured to open equally or with one leaf wider than the other for convenient pedestrian access.
Their straightforward mechanism makes them one of the most reliable and long-lasting types of garage doors available — with minimal maintenance required.
Benefits of Side Hinged Garage Doors
Effortless Access – Ideal if you need frequent access without opening the full garage.
Traditional Style – Retains a classic look that complements both modern and period homes.
Low Maintenance – No complex mechanisms or motors – just strong hinges and a secure locking system.
Customisable Design – Choose from a wide range of colours, finishes and window options.
Insulated Options Available – Keep your garage warmer and energy-efficient.
Manual or Automated – Can be manually operated or fitted with electric automation for extra convenience.
Ideal for Everyday Use
Side hinged garage doors are particularly popular with homeowners who use their garage as a workshop, hobby room, or for frequent access. Because you can open just one door for quick entry, they’re highly practical for everyday use — and perfect when your garage doubles as part of your living space.
Design & Material Options
At Delta Door Solutions, we supply and install side hinged garage doors in a variety of materials and finishes, including:
Steel doors for durability and security
Timber doors for a natural, premium appearance
GRP or composite for low-maintenance, weather-resistant performance
You can also choose from smooth or textured finishes, woodgrain effects, window inserts, and bespoke colours to match your home’s exterior.
Security & Insulation
Our insulated side hinged doors come with a robust frame and multi-point locking system for enhanced security. Weather seals and insulated cores help to maintain a stable temperature inside, reducing draughts and condensation — ideal for garages used as utility or storage spaces.
