Side hinged wooden garage doors particularly, have a timeless and natural charm that suits almost any architectural style of property, whether we're talking about a modern minimalist style, or something more rustic and traditional.

One of the key benefits of side hung garage doors is that they can be tailored to the exact measurements of your garage, whether it's an extra wide entrance, a narrow entrance, or if you're looking for garage side doors.
