Ryterna construct side hinged garage door leaves using double skin steel sections filled with Freon-free PU foam. As a result providing excellent thermal and acoustic insulation for your home. We fit leaves with our unique extruded aluminium ’h’ section profile which also contains tubular rubber seals. Due to these features garage door have perfect all round perimeter seal to the frame. As a result you will have comfortable environment inside your garage, and keeping the weather out.
To eliminate draughts and keep the elements out our ‘P’ section side hinged door frames are rebated to fit the leaves. We construct it from 2 mm thick steel with mitred corners and welded reinforcement for strength. Furthermore we zinc coat, prime and powder coat frame steel for extra durability. Frame with mouldings could be a good choice if door is fitted flush with front wall. Moreover for custom installations we manufacture side hinged garage doors with tubular frames. As standard we use 40×60 mm rectangular tube but othe options are awailable as well.
We connect leaves to the frames using high quality aluminium alloy hinges. Each hinge we equip with a roller bearings for a smooth opening and closing action. In addition hinges are adjustable in two directions. This feature means that your door will always keep perfect shape despite how intensively it will be exploited. Even more new design hinges significantly speed up installation process.

We also offer a range of different style and length of stainless steel tubular pull handles. And the range is from knob up to a maximum length of 1800 mm.
We supply side hinged garage doors with a pair of original door stays with adjustable opening angle. Therefore you can adjust door opening angle between 90° and 140° which is important in narrow or cornering driveways. Door stays keep leafs in open position and prevent doors from colliding with the walls or car. For taller doors, stay rods help to dis-engage the door stay and make closing the doors easy for all.
You can upgrade second leaves locking from standard flush bolts to ‘espagnolette’ lock. As a result user can simply and easy operate the high security solid locking bars from one high quality conveniently situated lever handle.
All side hinged garage doors we manufacture are with hinge-bolts as standard. No doubt – hinge-bolts increase security and prevent of unwanted lifting or levering of door leafs in an attempted break-in.

‘Sloping’ threshold – standard and universal option. if you use garage for a car – this option is for you. Brushed stainless steel covers are also optional and help to protect paint and to give more luxury to your garage door.
‘L’ shaped – a rebated threshold similar to the side frames. Good choice if you use garage space is used as utility room, workshop, etc.
‘Flat’ – this 80 mm wide x 5 mm thick flat steel. Flat threshold is mainly used where drive-through must be even. Especially where disabled access is required, Caution – the potential for water ingress is likely.
For slightly upward sloping driveways we can manufacture raised thresholds. Due to raised threshold you can eliminate the leaf clashing with the driveway or water coming in to garage.
