Superior Quality

Excellent security

Teckentrup insulated side hinged garage doors and personnel doors are quite simply the very best. The solid panels, engineered hollow section aluminium frames and high grade fittings result in a door that closes with a reassuringly deep “clunk”. Doors are built with 40mm thick insulated interlocking panels and an aluminium hollow section frame that provides excellent strength, rigidity and resistance to corrosion.

Security is excellent and the range of styles, finishes and windows allows personalisation to suit your tastes. 1/2 and 1/2 opening and asymmetric configurations further increase versatility.

Every detail, perfect

Explore the features & benefits of a CarTeck insulated side hinged 
garage door


Teckentrup Car Teck Side Hinged 40mm Panel A
Insulation ‘U Value'

Our 40mm thick panels have an insulating value that has been independently tested to 0.56 W/m²K. The lower the value the better the insulating properties.

It’s not a figure we tend to quote because we know a door is more than just a panel. We quote the insulation value for a complete door (over frame size 10’4” wide x 7’6” high) including the panel joints and weather strips. CarTeck side hinged doors have an insulation ‘U value’ of 2.20 W/m²K - you won’t find better performance on any comparable garage door.

Teckentrup Side Hinged Hinges New B
High Quality Concealed Hinges

All insulated side hinged doors have concealed hinges for a super sleek overall look. No hinges to the outside of the door removes an obvious point of attack and also makes it difficult to lever open the door should an attempt be made.

Concealed hinges offer an improved drive through width of up to 80mm between the frame compared to surface mounted hinges.

Each door leaf has two or three (dependent on size) heavy-duty concealed hinges that are easily adjusted to help align the door leaves perfectly.

Teckentrup Car Teck Side Hinged Security Lock Cylinder C
Security Lock Cylinder

Certified to BS EN1303 Cylinder Security Grade 2, our lock cylinder provides enhanced security and is anti-drill and anti-pick. The cylinder also features a break off system which is designed to prevent the cylinder from being broken by including a ‘sacrificial’ section that breaks off if an attempt to break the cylinder is made, whilst leaving sufficient cylinder remaining to still operate 
the lock with a key. Every door comes with three keys as standard. Additional keys can be cut at a high street locksmiths.

Teckentrup Side Hinged Handle D
Standard Stainless Steel Handles

High grade stainless steel handles* and lock covers are tough and attractive, whilst the latch and dead bolt combination provides dependable security. A convenient thumb turn operates the lock from the inside.

The inactive leaf incorporates a stainless steel strike plate with an adjustable latch plate for precise latching and a steel lock keep box for added attack resistance.

Door Stays E
Door Stays

These top grade, spring dampened stays hold the door securely in the open position. A simple de-latch motion releases the held door leaf. Any leaf below 780mm wide (including asymmetric side hinged doors) will not have a stay.

Note - not designed for high wind applications.

Teckentrup Side Hinged Threshold F
Standard ramped 3-part threshold

A stepped 3-part aluminium threshold, 179mm wide, with a bulb weather strip is supplied as standard. The door leaves close against the raised weather strip creating an improved barrier to dust and debris. The threshold includes a thermal break, helping to reduce heat transfer.

Double weather strips and mitred corners G
Double weather strips & mitred corners

In addition to the circumferential weather strip around the door leaf, the door frame has a three-sided weather strip for excellent draught reduction. Profiles are mitre jointed for a neat finish.

Teckentrup Side Hinged Features Flush Bolt H
Flush bolt security

The inactive leaf is secured with flush bolts to the top and bottom of the leaf. Each bolt has an adjustable flush bolt plate for greater versatility on the position of the leading edge on the inactive leaf as seals compress over time.
