Functionality of Side Hinged doors
Door Operation
Door Operation
Side-hinged doors open as per a normal pedestrian door with two door leaves connected by hinges at the side to the main door frame. The doors consist of two doors that open “barn door” style rather than operating vertically.
Customers can choose a 50/50 split with both doors of equal size, or an offset configuration, with one smaller personnel door.
SPACE REQUIREMENT IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE
About our side hinged doors
Our side hinged doors are available in a range of materials, designs, surfaces, and colours, and customers can choose from an array of additional fittings.
All the door leaf frames are made from galvanised steel. The robust hinges will provide long-term opening and closing that is dimensionally accurate. Choose whether to open both of the doors or just the active leaf and choose from a range of customisable fittings to personalise your doors.

Quality without compromise
Quality without compromise
When you opt for a Novoferm side hinged door, you’ll be investing in quality. Each door is comprised of hot-dipped galvanised thin sheet metal primed with a polyester-based electrostatic powder coating. These features come together to provide outstanding protection against corrosion. Such build-quality extends to the door leaf, block frame, guides and all other components which are also galvanised. Torsion-resistant, continuously welded frame corners and hollow frame profiles with cross struts ensure maximum stability. And because we are convinced of the durability of this design, we give a 10-year guarantee.
With Novoferm, you can be assured of the highest levels of quality and safety. After all, as a well-known and well-respected brand, we are committed to upholding our status as Europe’s leading system providers of doors, garage doors, frames, and operators.
