Matching garage side doors
A matching garage side door is a pedestrian door made in the same panel design and colour as your sectional garage door, fitted to a separate opening in the side or back of the garage. It gives everyday access to the garage and the garden with a finish that matches the main door.
- Matched panel design: Ribs, flush or cassette to match.
- Matched colour: Same colour or woodgrain.
- Glazed top panel: Optional on some ranges.
Why match the side door?
An old timber side door next to a new sectional door looks tired. A matched side door in the same rib pattern, woodgrain or colour pulls the whole garage together.
Can it be fitted at the same time?
Yes. Ordering the side door with the garage door keeps the finishes matched and means one visit for fitting.
Will it fit my existing opening?
Side doors are made to measure or chosen from size ranges. Existing openings vary a lot, so they are measured at survey.
How secure is it?
Most matching side doors are steel with multi-point or robust locking. The specification is shown on your quote.
Inward or outward opening?
Side doors can usually be hung to open in or out, left or right hand, to suit paths and the space inside.
