Carteck 40mm Luxe Solid Side Hinged Garage Door
The Carteck 40mm Luxe Solid side hinged door offers a sleek, completely unribbed minimalist design. This premium, ready-to-fit doorset brings together factory-built precision, excellent insulation, impressive strength, and everyday convenience. It is an ideal upgrade if your garage is used as an extra room, such as a home gym, workshop, utility space or hobby room, where warmth, draught control and security make a real day-to-day difference.
Factory assembled doorset
- • Completely factory assembled, pre-hung doorset with aluminium outer frame, hinges and all operating gear aligned and fitted for faster, cleaner and more accurate installation on site.
- • Engineered hollow section aluminium frame and high grade fittings are set up in the factory, so the door closes with a solid, reassuring “clunk” and needs very little adjustment once in the opening.
- • Delivered as a single unit, removing the need to build timber frames or hang leaves separately and helping to reduce fitting errors and long-term call backs.
Insulated strength, security and comfort
- • 40mm insulated steel construction: Foam filled, double skin steel panels interlock to create a rigid, solid feel that resists denting and stands up to everyday use.
- • Warmer, more usable garage space: Independent testing gives the 40mm panels a thermal value of 0.56 W/m²K, with the complete side hinged doorset achieving a U value of 2.20 W/m²K, helping the garage stay more comfortable through the seasons.
- • Better weather sealing: Rebated leaf edges, concealed hinges and a three-sided weather strip help reduce draughts and keep out dust and debris, which is especially beneficial when storing tools, bikes and household items.
- • Strong security as standard: A high security cylinder lock with anti-drill and anti-pick features, plus robust latch and deadbolt locking, provides dependable protection, with optional multi-point locking available for added peace of mind.
Made to measure as standard
Every Carteck Luxe Solid side hinged door is manufactured to measure to the millimetre, so the frame and leaves are tailored precisely to your garage opening. Factory sizing maximises the clear drive-through width and height, improving access for cars, bikes and larger items, especially when combined with the slim aluminium frame and concealed hinges. Made-to-measure production also means less trimming, packing and finishing around the frame on site, which results in a neater, more professional final look.
Everyday convenience and usability
- • Walk-in access: Side hinged operation lets you step straight in without lifting a full door, ideal for daily trips to grab tools, bikes or garden equipment.
- • Adjustable concealed hinges: Heavy duty hinges allow precise leaf alignment and improve usable opening width compared with traditional surface mounted hinges.
- • Door stays: Spring dampened friction stays hold leaves securely open and release with a simple de-latch action, making the door easy and safe to use every day.
- • Thermal-break threshold: A stepped three-part aluminium threshold with bulb seal and integrated thermal break creates a low, robust sill that improves weather protection and helps reduce cold bridging under the door.
Design, finish and upgrade options
The Luxe Solid design features completely flat, unribbed panels that suit modern properties and create a highly contemporary, architectural look, presented here in a crisp, classic white finish. High grade stainless steel handles and lock covers are both tough and stylish, with optional stainless steel D-handles available if you prefer a more contemporary feature pull. Optional aluminium framed windows allow natural light into the garage while maintaining the strong, insulated construction of the door. Further options include upgraded three-point locking, different threshold arrangements and accessories such as letterboxes or pet flaps.

Options - Carteck 40mm Luxe Solid Side Hinged Door
Once you’ve chosen the size, you can fine tune this door with a wide range of options so it looks and works exactly the way you want.
Key options at a glance
- • Supplied exclusively in a classic white factory finish
- • Minimalist Solid (unribbed) panel design
- • Equal leaves or a wider main leaf with smaller secondary leaf
- • Multiple threshold types for weather protection or low step access
- • Standard or upgraded 3 point locking with high security cylinder
- • Choice of lever handles, D handles and hardware finishes
- • Optional side panels, glazing, letterbox, pet flap and other extras
Design and layout
Your door is supplied in a classic white factory finish, perfectly complementing the minimalist, unribbed Solid panel design to create a highly contemporary frontage. You can decide how the pair of leaves is configured: equal halves for a perfectly balanced architectural look, or a wider main leaf with a smaller secondary leaf to make everyday pedestrian access easier while still allowing a full opening when both leaves are used.
Threshold and access options
Threshold choices let you balance weather protection with ease of access. The standard three-part ramped aluminium threshold with bulb seal and thermal break creates a robust raised sill that helps block dust, debris and draughts. If you prefer a lower step, you can opt for a one-part ramped threshold that still carries a seal and thermal break, or a simple low aluminium strip threshold where the smoothest possible transition for bikes, trolleys or mobility aids is the priority. For garages that are no longer used for vehicles, four-sided frame options with 55mm or 40mm full overlap thresholds are available, creating a complete frame all around the opening with additional weather protection at the base.
Locking, handles and hardware
Security can be tailored from a robust single point latch and deadbolt lock through to upgraded three-point locking on the active leaf, where additional pins or hooks at the head and cill help resist attempts to prise the leaves apart. All locks are paired with a high security cylinder that includes anti-drill and anti-pick protection, with convenient thumb turn operation on the inside so you can lock or unlock without a key when you are in the garage. Handle options range from the standard stainless steel lever set with matching escutcheons to alternative finishes to coordinate with your other external hardware. For a striking modern look that suits the unribbed panels, you can choose tall stainless steel D-handles, available in different lengths and fitted to the active leaf only or to both leaves.
Extra features and finishing touches
You can further customise the door with fixed side panels to reduce an oversized opening, allowing a made-to-measure side hinged set to replace an old double up and over door while neatly infilling surplus width. Practical extras such as letter boxes, mechanical code locks, pet flaps, finger pulls and spy holes can all be incorporated, so you can post mail, let pets in and out, or check outside the garage without opening the door.

Panel finishes and appearance
This Carteck side hinged door features the 'Solid' unribbed panel profile for a sleek, completely flat appearance. It is supplied as standard in a classic Traffic White exterior finish with a grey white stucco internal face (RAL 9002), featuring no visible bracing bars or exposed mechanisms on the inside for an exceptionally clean look.
Frame, sizing and threshold
Every door is made to measure and factory fitted into a fully finished aluminium fixing sub frame, which simplifies installation, keeps closing gaps tight and maximises the usable opening width and height.
A stepped 3-part aluminium threshold with integrated bulb seal is supplied as standard; it improves weather sealing at the bottom of the door and can be extended beyond the frame legs to create a neat, continuous sill line across adjacent openings.

Locking, cylinder and hardware
High security locking options include 3-point locking on suitable door heights and recessed lever-action flush bolts that secure the inactive leaf at the head and cill. The upgraded Euro profile cylinder is BS EN1303 Grade 2, anti-drill and anti-pick, supplied with three keys and a sacrificial break-off section to protect the mechanism if attacked. Stainless steel external lever handles and lock covers, a DIN standard CE-marked sash lock, internal thumb turn cylinder (or optional double cylinder) and door stays on each leaf provide a robust and user-friendly hardware package.
Hinges and security
Concealed, heavy duty adjustable hinges are standard on all Carteck side hinged doors, improving the clear drive-through width and making trimming and finishing around the frame easier. They create a clean, contemporary appearance and enhance security by removing exposed hinge knuckles as a point of attack, making it harder to lever the door open.
Glazing and window options
You can add scratch-resistant polymer double glazed windows or upgrade to high grade aluminium window designs. Windows are priced per unit and can be arranged in a variety of configurations across the door leaves to bring natural light into the garage while maintaining the strength and insulation of the door.

How to Measure for Your CarTeck Side Hinged Door
Because the CarTeck Luxe Solid side hinged door is supplied as a complete, factory-assembled doorset, measuring is very straightforward. The door leaves come already hung within their own heavy-duty aluminium outer fixing sub-frame. This means you do not need to factor in a separate timber frame.
When measuring, you are calculating the overall size of the complete unit (including the aluminium outer frame) to ensure it fits perfectly into or behind your garage brickwork opening.
Key points when measuring:
- • Measure the opening in several places: Take the width and height at the top, middle, and bottom of your brickwork opening. Always use the smallest dimension to ensure the frame will fit.
- • Allow for fitting tolerance: The 'Ordering Size' is the exact overall width and height of the aluminium frame. We recommend deducting approximately 10mm from your smallest brickwork width, and 10mm from your smallest brickwork height, to give you a comfortable fitting tolerance.
- • Check the floor: Ensure your floor is level where the threshold will sit to ensure smooth operation of the door leaves.
Please refer to the 3D technical drawing below, which clearly illustrates the relationship between the door leaves, the aluminium sub-frame, and the structural opening.
