Side opening door, gas oven

Hi
I’m after buying a built in gas oven/grill with a side opening door.
But I am having a real problem locating one.
They all seem to be drop down doors, these days. Which are no good to me, as I can’t bend down.
Id be really grateful if anyone has any ideas/advice where I might be able to get one from? I have looked all over, and it’s proving to be a nightmare. As they are all fitted with drop down doors
Thanks in advance

Hi carmen
Comet have lots but doesn't say on any of the details if they are side opening door. Loads of side opening electric ovens. xx0 -

Thanks for the replies guys.
Yes its very confusing lyndac40 when looking online at them.
I saw an advert on the TV once, where it looked like the oven opened at the top to drop down, but the bar actually pulled out on a hinge and opened the oven door sideways. So it can be quite deceiving.
Thanks tanith shall take a look at the site.0 -
Can you build it in higher than floor level, IYSWIM? ie not under the hob?Signature removed for peace of mind0

Sadly not Savvy Sue, I also have a problem with my arms, So having a drop down door, just gets in the way, and I cant reach to put stuff in the oven.A side door means I can get closer to the oven face IYKWIM and put the stuff in.0

OK, next question, does it HAVE to be a gas oven / grill? because there is a wider choice in electric.Signature removed for peace of mind0

The only reason I was after a gas one, was for the grilling aspect. Are Electric grills any good?
I’ve always had gas. So I wasn’t sure.
With an electric grill, can you still do things like cheese on toast, chicken, sausages etc., , and they turn out ok?0 -
Electric grills are fine and I think grill more evenly than gas... just my opinion of course.#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j
