Where to find a side garage door?

icklejulez

Call me thick but Im due to complete on a house on Friday and I need to purchase a side garage door. Where do I start looking? Every search I do brings me up the front garage door. Ive looked on the b&q site at external doors and again they dont look right? Can you use a PVC door? Its a normal sized entrance...

Anyone help me?

I would think you could use any external door. Don't think it needs to be anything special for a garage, but for extra security probably better to get a solid one (i.eone without glass.)

There is no such thing as a side garage door. A normal front or rear door will be fine.

Is there access from the garage into the house?

If yes, make sure the door are as secure as your front door.

Theres no access to the house its a seperate garage at the rear of the garden with no access to the public. The front of the garage faces on to a public right of way behind the house. I cannot picture any of the external doors Ive seen on B&Q site looking right on a garage. Is there any comapnies that specialise on garage doors as I know my parents and my friends all have wooden type doors that match the style of the garage?

Thanks daleyd your a wealth of knowledge.

On a serious note, you could try this link, it points to gates but if the measurements are the same as your door I don't see any reason why you couldn't use them.

try your yellow pages for garage installers, in general 'side' garage doors aren't standard size as they are designed to work with the concrete panels
