A side hinged garage door will open a little bit like a barn door. It is a way of making a garage look good in a more traditional way, as a side hinged door does not look as contemporary. It is a beneficial decision for some homeowners – think about the following:

• They are aesthetically pleasing. A side hinged door is usually made of wood or a material that looks very close to the wood. If you are mainly interested in appearance, a side hinged door is a right option for you.
• Your property is more traditional. Side hinged garage doors look beautiful in a cottage or older building.
• You do not use your garage as your vehicle storage. It can be harder to get a car through this type of door, so perhaps rule it out if this is how you use your garage.
• There are objects in the way, like a boiler or a shelf.
