Garage Side & Access Doors
Garage and side-access doors need sensible security, weather protection, thresholds and materials for an opening that is often more exposed than the main entrance.

Garage Side & Access Doors — practical planning
Side and garage access doors are frequently overlooked until water, draughts, corrosion or security becomes a problem. The surrounding masonry and threshold condition should be checked with the door.
Timber, steel, aluminium and composite options can suit different openings. The best choice depends on exposure, use, maintenance expectations and the existing frame.
Doors Dublin can assess whether the practical answer is adjustment, frame work, replacement or a new door-and-frame set.

Hidden doors for painted walls, panelling, metal, glass and selected stone or tile finishes
The aim is not simply to remove an architrave. A convincing concealed door is planned around the surrounding surface. Depending on the opening and chosen system, Doors Dublin can discuss flush painted doors, doors aligned with timber wall panelling, discreet metal-faced doors, glazed concealed-door concepts and selected stone or tile-faced finishes. Concealed hinges, minimal frames, suitable handles or push-to-open concepts and accurate installation are considered together.
