Very few people, in the UK, actually use their garage to store their vehicle in these days. More often the garage is used for storage or extra living space, like a home office, gym or additional bedroom. Regardless of which of these things it is used for, it will typically contain high value items and is most often thought of as an “easy” target for theft. Side-hinged doors are going to offer several benefits:

• Excellent security with better locks, typically, than the standard up and over door

• Easy operation when trying to access garage in poor weather

• Easy pedestrian access without having to put your whole garage on show

• Made to Measure for a perfect, customisable fit

• Easier on the back, with no lifting or need to bend over

• Minimal maintenance as there are no complex mechanisms

• No internal tracking or mechanisms to take up internal garage space

• Kerb appeal as side-hinge garage doors look very smart and more modern
