Double seals to the door leaf and frame help protect against the weather and limit dust and debris entering your garage.
A gasket between the door leaf frame and insulated panel further helps seal the door against the elements.
The colour matched hinges are adjustable in 3 directions, allowing for easy alignment of the leaves, should it be required.
Concealed shoot bolts at the top and bottom of the inactive leaf hold the door securely in place. The adjustable keeps allow for easy alignment of the leaf position for a precise fit.
For an added level of security, 3-point locking with twin hook locks, is available as an option.
Stainless steel pull handles are a sleek alternative to the standard lever handle and are supplied with a ball catch and deadlock.

The last few years has seen changes in the garage door market in particular to the thousands of tons of plastic used to protect doors that ultimately is not recyclable and goes to landfill . Because of the improvements in galvanised steel and the paint finish now being powder coated and oven baked the need to fully protect the doors against the elements is no longer justified .Therefore the door you are currently looking at here will not come packaged , this will make it easier for you to check for marks and damage but will also mean that you need to take extra care in handling the product before installation.
