Why Choose the Solid Panel Design?

It is highly popular among homeowners wanting to match their garage with a contemporary aluminium or composite front door. Because it operates on side hinges, it provides effortless pedestrian access without the need to expose the entire garage contents to the street.

Supplied pre assembled in its aluminium sub frame, it arrives as a complete doorset ready for straightforward installation on site.

Door construction and insulation

The door leaves are manufactured using 20mm double skinned insulated steel panels, helping to improve rigidity and reduce draughts and heat loss compared with basic single skin steel doors. The inner face is neat and flat for a clean internal appearance, making this an ideal choice for integral garages, workshops and garages used regularly.

Sizes and made to measure manufacturing

Each doorset is made to measure to suit your opening sizes, up to 2750mm wide and 2340mm high. Doors can be configured as a 50:50 split or as an asymmetric 1/3 and 2/3 split, depending on your preferred access arrangement.

Aluminium sub frame supplied and factory fitted

The GDO Pro 20 doorset is supplied pre hung and factory fitted within its aluminium sub frame as standard, helping ensure accurate alignment and a faster, simpler installation. The frame and threshold arrangement also supports effective sealing around the perimeter for improved weather protection.

Security and locking

The doorset is designed to provide improved security for everyday garage use, with a robust lock and secure inactive leaf retention. For an added level of security, a 3 point locking upgrade is available on suitable door sizes (minimum height over frame 1600mm).

Hinges and alignment adjustment

Colour matched hinges are supplied and are adjustable in three directions to help fine tune alignment of the door leaves on installation.

Weather sealing

Double seals to the door leaf and frame help protect against the weather and limit dust and debris entering your garage.

Handle and finish options

The standard specification includes a stainless steel D handle on one leaf, providing a modern and easy to use grip for everyday access. You can also choose to have a matching stainless steel D handle fitted on both leaves where a more symmetrical appearance is preferred. For a more traditional look, it is possible to change to a standard lever handle instead, available in a range of colours to complement your chosen door finish and overall exterior style.

Colours

Choose from 32 colour options in a durable stipple effect powder coated finish, designed for long term appearance and low maintenance.

Installation Guidance for GDO Pro 20 Doorsets

One of the biggest advantages of the GDO Pro 20 insulated side hinged garage door is that it is delivered fully pre-assembled. The insulated door leaves come factory hung within their heavy duty aluminium sub frame, eliminating the need for complex assembly on site. This "all in one" approach significantly reduces installation time and ensures factory accurate tolerances from the start.

While full, detailed manufacturer fitting instructions are provided with the door, the standard installation process follows these key steps:

1. Preparation and Checking

Before removing your old garage door, carefully measure your new GDO Pro 20 doorset and check it against your structural opening to ensure it will fit. Make sure the floor where the threshold will sit is solid and completely level; an uneven floor can cause the doors to catch or prevent the weather seals from working effectively.

2. Positioning the Doorset

Because the doors and frame are pre-assembled, they should be offered into the structural opening as one complete unit. Keep the door leaves closed and locked during this stage to keep the frame rigid. Use plastic packers or timber wedges between the aluminium frame and the brickwork to hold the doorset securely in place. Use a high quality spirit level to ensure the frame is perfectly plumb, square, and level.

3. Fixing the Frame

Once you are completely satisfied that the frame is perfectly upright and square, drill through the aluminium fixing sub frame and into the structural opening. Secure the frame using appropriate masonry frame fixings (not supplied). It is important not to over tighten the fixings, as this can bow the aluminium frame and pinch the door leaves.

4. Securing the Threshold

The doorset features a built in threshold that must be firmly fixed to the floor. Ensure a line of sealant is applied beneath the threshold before final fixing to prevent water from tracking underneath into the garage.

5. Testing and Final Adjustments

Once the frame is fully secured, unlock and open the door leaves to check their operation. They should swing smoothly without catching. If slight adjustments are needed due to the opening being slightly out of square, the GDO Pro 20 features heavy duty 3-way adjustable hinges. These allow you to finely tune the position of the door leaves in three directions for a perfect, even gap and smooth lock engagement.

6. Perimeter Sealing

Finally, once the door is operating perfectly, apply a high quality exterior silicone sealant around the entire perimeter gap between the aluminium frame and the brickwork to ensure the installation is completely weather tight.

Please note: We always recommend downloading and reading the full official installation manual prior to beginning work.

GDO Pro 20 Warranty & Guarantee

The GDO Pro 20 side hinged garage door is manufactured in the UK to exacting engineering standards. To provide you with complete peace of mind, your doorset is backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty. To ensure the validity of these guarantees, the door must be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the supplied manufacturer instructions.

10-Year Safe and Reliable Operation

The main structure of the GDO Pro 20 door is covered by a 10-year warranty ensuring safe and reliable operation. This provides long-term confidence in the core structural integrity and safety of your garage doorset.

2-Year Hardware and Component Guarantee

A 2-year warranty is provided on all moving and mechanical parts under normal daily use (defined by the manufacturer as up to 5 open/close operations per day). This comprehensive cover includes all primary hardware such as hinges, locking mechanisms, shoot bolts, and handles.

2-Year Factory Paint Finish

The factory-applied powder coat colour finishes are covered by a 2-year warranty against primary paint failure. Please note: As is standard with steel door manufacturing, the rolling and pressing process may cause slight natural distortion which can become apparent under certain lighting, and minor cosmetic blemishes are considered normal. The internal rear face of the door is not designed to have the exact same uniform cosmetic finish as the exterior.

Coastal and Estuary Exclusions

Please be aware that any steel doors fitted within 250 metres of the coastline (where the beach ends and the land begins) or directly adjacent to an inland estuary are strictly exempt from the paint finish warranty due to the highly corrosive saline environment.

Key Warranty Conditions and Exclusions

• Inspection upon Delivery: Goods must be carefully inspected upon arrival. Any transport damage or missing items must be reported within 48 hours of receipt. By proceeding to install the garage door, you acknowledge and accept its visual condition; no claims for cosmetic damage can be accepted once the item has been installed.
• General Maintenance: The door panel must be kept clean and free from impact damage. Any accidental areas of paint damage must be dressed with touch-up paint as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. Regular cleaning and light lubrication of the moving parts is required.
• Warranty Invalidation: Improper installation, structural modifications, repairs by non-qualified individuals, or damage caused by severe external influences (such as fire, flooding, alkaline solutions, bird droppings, or abnormal atmospheric pollution) will completely invalidate the warranty.
