Carteck 40mm Luxe Georgian (White) garage door Steel Carteck

CarTeck 40mm Georgian Side Hinged Garage Doors - White

The CarTeck Georgian insulated side hinged garage door in a crisp white finish is the definitive choice for homes wanting a highly traditional appearance without compromising on modern performance. Built with classic raised and fielded panel detailing, it faithfully echoes the look of authentic period timber doors. It is a highly practical option for those using their garage as a workshop, utility area or general extra living space, while effortlessly matching standard white uPVC windows.

Classic Woodgrain Surface Texture

To truly capture the character of traditional timber doors, this specific model is supplied exclusively with a durable woodgrain surface texture on the outer face. This texture runs across the face of the panels, giving the crisp white finish an extra layer of depth and authenticity that smooth steel simply cannot replicate. The inside face is still supplied with a completely smooth finish, making it incredibly easy to wipe down and keep clean.

Horizontal or Vertical Cassette Layouts

Depending on the width and height of your garage opening, you can choose how the raised Georgian cassettes are arranged across the door leaves. You can opt for a horizontal layout, which generally features a wider, more spaced-out pattern that visually widens the appearance of the garage. Alternatively, you can choose a vertical arrangement, which stacks the cassettes to subtly draw the eye upwards. Both layouts offer the exact same classic styling, just proportioned differently to suit your specific property.

Insulated for Extra Living Space

If you spend any significant time in your garage, keeping the temperature stable is essential. These doors are built using 40mm thick double skin steel panels completely filled with a dense rigid foam core. This construction provides excellent insulation against both the cold weather and external street noise, making the internal space noticeably warmer year round. Because they function as traditional doors, you can simply open one door leaf for quick pedestrian access. This completely minimises heat loss compared to exposing the entire room by opening a standard up and over door.

Strong and Secure Construction

With the more robust 40mm insulated panel construction comes significantly enhanced security. The doors are held firmly shut by a robust multi point locking mechanism, backed up by heavy duty flush shoot bolts anchoring the inactive door leaf into the outer frame. The fixing sub frame itself is made from strong aluminium profiles and now features concealed hinges as standard. This creates a highly rigid complete doorset with very clean edges, offering excellent overall resistance against forced entry by removing visible weak points.

Made to Measure Complete Doorset

Rather than struggling with loose doors and a separate timber frame on site, this is supplied as a complete, factory assembled doorset. The white aluminium fixing sub frame, door panels, hardware, and built-in weather seals are all pre fitted and aligned in the factory, taking the headache out of the final installation. They are made to measure as standard at no extra cost, meaning you can specify exact sizes for a perfect fit, which is especially useful on older UK garages where standard sizes always leave annoying gaps.

Panel Splits and Practical Upgrades

To keep the Georgian cassettes perfectly proportioned, the panel split options on this model are slightly restricted compared to plain ribbed doors. They are usually supplied as a standard 50/50 equal split to keep the design completely symmetrical, though an asymmetric 1/3 - 2/3 split is available on certain size ranges if you want a smaller everyday pedestrian door. While the doors come as solid panels for maximum privacy, you can upgrade the top cassettes to traditional glazed sections with clear, frosted or satin finishes to let natural daylight in. For the bottom of the door, a 3 part threshold system is included as standard to keep draughts and rain away, provided you have a level floor to fix it to.

Ordering Your CarTeck Insulated Side Hinged Doors

Every CarTeck 40mm insulated white Georgian side hinged garage door is made to measure and built to your exact required dimensions. Before you begin choosing your options below, simply select the next size up on both width and height from our pricing table to get your base price. When you proceed to the checkout stage, you will be able to enter the exact millimetre dimensions you need for a perfect fit.

External Panel Texture

To accurately capture the character of a classic timber door, this specific Georgian model is supplied exclusively with a highly durable Woodgrain embossed texture on the outer face. This texture runs right across the panels and gives the classic white finish an extra layer of depth. The inside face is always supplied completely smooth, making it far easier to wipe down and keep clean.

Leading Door Leaf

You need to select whether the leading door leaf (the one that opens first) is on the left side or the right side when viewed from outside the garage looking in. When making your choice, think about which side you will use most often for pedestrian access and what obstacles might be in the way when the door is open.

Panel Split

Because the raised Georgian cassettes need to be perfectly proportioned across the width of the doors, the panel split options are slightly restricted on this model. They are generally supplied as a 50/50 equal split to keep the design completely symmetrical. An asymmetric 1/3 - 2/3 split is available, but only on specific size ranges where the cassette layout allows for it.

Threshold Options

To keep draughts and debris out, you have a choice of 2 standard threshold options that sit right across the floor. The right choice often depends on whether you are driving over it or just walking.

• There are alternative deep threshold profiles available, which are designed specifically for garages where no vehicle access is required and getting the tightest possible floor seal is the main priority

* Please call or email us for details and pricing if you require non standard threshold options.

Handle and Locking Options

A robust stainless steel lever handle is fitted as standard on these doors. If you want to increase security or just change the visual appearance, there are several upgrades available.

• Standard: Stainless steel lever handles paired with the standard locking mechanism
• Upgrade: Choose from 8 alternative handle designs, all supplied with an upgraded 3 point hook locking mechanism for enhanced security
• Bespoke: You can supply your own door furniture to be fitted at the factory, available on a price on application basis

Optional Window Upgrades

If you want to let natural daylight into your garage without compromising security, you can choose to upgrade the top section of the door. When you select a window option on this model, the solid top Georgian cassettes are completely replaced with traditional glazed cassette sections.

Window Glazing (If Selected)

If you have chosen to upgrade the top cassettes to windows, you need to select the actual glass finish based on how much privacy you need in the garage.

• Clear: Offers maximum natural daylight and full visibility through the windows
• Frosted: Lets plenty of light in while completely obscuring the view for full privacy
• Satin: A smooth translucent finish that diffuses the light softly while keeping the inside private

Carteck Side Hinged doors are supplied in Traffic White embossed woodgrain on the outside as standard and grey white stucco finish on the inside (RAL 9002).

The inside face of the door panels are very easy to keep clean and have no unsightly bracing bars and locking mechanisms.

Door texture finish: Woodgrain.

> Door Lock Cylinder Security Upgrade - To make it cheaper and easier to obtain replacement keys Carteck have upgraded their locking system, keys can now be sourced from local key cutters rather than via Teckentrup.  Additional benefits include:
- BS EN1303 Cylinder Security Grade 2
- Anti-drill and anti-pick design
- 3 keys as standard
- Break off system - designed to prevent the cylinder from being broken by including a 'sacrificial' section that is designed to break off in an attempt to break the cylinder is made, whilst leaving sufficient cylinder remaining to still operate the lock with a key. 

 
> Stainless Steel Handles - High grade stainless steel handles and lock covers are tough and attractive.
> Double seals and mitred corners - In addition to the circumferential seal around the door leaf the door frame has a three sided seal for excellent draught reduction. Profiles are mitre jointed for a neat finish.
> Flush bolt security - The inactive leaf is secured with flush bolts to the top and bottom of the leaf.
> Hardware - DIN standard CE marked European sash lock and a pair of stainless steel round bar lever handles on 50mm diameter roses. A Euro profile cylinder and thumb turn with stainless steel escuthcheons is included as standard (double cylinder, key both sides is available as an option if required). The inactive leaf is fitted with top and bottom recessed lever action flush bolts. A stay is fitted to each leaf to hold the door in the open position.
> Concealed Hinges - As part of their constant product development, Carteck have introduced Concealed Hinges to all Side Hinged doors, the benefits of this include:
- Easier trimming up process due to not having hinges at the edge of the door frame
- Only two hinges required per leaf, making adjustments faster and easier
- Improved sleek look
- No additional costs 
- Improved security by removing the visible point of attack and making it harder to lever open the door.

Installation Guidance – Made to Measure as Standard

Every CarTeck 40mm Luxe Traditional side hinged garage door is made to measure as standard. This means the doorset is manufactured to your exact brickwork opening sizes (allowing for the correct fitting tolerances), so you are not trying to “make do” with a standard size. You benefit from maximum clear opening width and height, tighter seals and a far neater finished appearance.

1. Measuring Before You Order

Before ordering, carefully measure the structural brickwork opening width and height in at least three places (top, middle, bottom for width; left, centre, right for height). Use the smallest measurements and check that the reveals and lintel are reasonably plumb and level. These clear opening sizes are what you provide for your made to measure doorset – the factory will calculate the finished frame sizes and tolerances from these figures.

2. Delivered as a Complete Doorset

CarTeck Luxe side hinged doors are supplied as a fully assembled doorset. The aluminium fixing frame, door leaves, hinges, locks, seals and glazing are all factory fitted and pre-aligned. This eliminates the need to hang door leaves separately on site. Once unpacked, the frame and doors are lifted into the opening as one unit, making installation faster, cleaner and more predictable.

3. Fitting the Aluminium Sub Frame

With the old garage door and frame removed and the opening cleaned back to sound masonry, the new aluminium frame is positioned into the reveal. Use packers and a spirit level to ensure the frame is perfectly plumb, level and square, then drill and fix through the pre-designated fixing points into the brickwork. Check the operation of both leaves as you go and make minor hinge or latch adjustments if required.

4. Threshold & Final Sealing

The supplied 3-part threshold is then positioned and fixed in line with the frame legs, creating a continuous base for the bulb seal and improving weather protection at floor level. Because it is in three pieces, you can extend it slightly beyond the frame legs for a neat transition to adjacent paving or doorways. Finally, any small gaps between frame and brickwork are neatly sealed with a suitable external grade sealant or trim.

5. Post-Installation Checks

Once installed, check that:

• Both leaves open and close freely without fouling the floor or reveals.
• The locks engage smoothly and the compression seals make consistent contact all round.
• The stays hold the doors open securely at the desired angle.

Because these doors are factory assembled and made to measure, a competent installer or experienced DIYer can achieve an excellent, professional result with far less time and adjustment than a traditional, site-built timber door and frame.

The door is delivered with the frame, hinges and all major components factory fitted, ready for easy on-site installation.

Measuring for your CarTeck 40mm Luxe Traditional side hinged garage door is a straightforward process. These fully insulated doors are completely made to measure and supplied factory assembled with their sub fixing frame and hardware already fitted, ensuring a fast and simple installation. The entire unit is designed to be installed directly in between your structural garage opening.

Step 1: Measure the Structural Opening Width

Take the width measurement from brickwork to brickwork inside the structural opening.

• Measure the width in three distinct places: at the top, the middle, and the bottom of the opening.
• Record the smallest of these three dimensions. This becomes your definitive structural opening width.

Step 2: Measure the Structural Opening Height

Take the height measurement from the floor directly to the underside of the lintel.

• Measure the height in three places: on the left, in the middle, and on the right side of the opening.
• Record the smallest of these three dimensions to determine your definitive structural opening height.

Step 3: Calculate Your Ordering Size

Because the door and its pre-fitted frame sit inside the opening, you must allow for a fitting tolerance. The manufacturer recommends a minimum tolerance of 10mm all around to ensure the frame fits comfortably without being forced.

• Ordering Width: Deduct 20mm from your smallest structural opening width, which allows for a 10mm gap on both the left and right sides.
• Ordering Height: Deduct 10mm from your smallest structural opening height to allow a gap at the top.

The resulting dimensions are your Overall Frame Size, which is the exact measurement you will use when placing your order.

Step 4: Check Floor Levels and Squareness

The garage floor level is a critical factor because standard CarTeck side-hinged doors open outwards.

• Use a spirit level to check that the driveway is completely flat or falls away from the garage opening. Ensure the ground does not rise up and obstruct the outward swing of the door leaves.
• The door features a 3-part stepped aluminium threshold as standard, which requires a sound, level surface across the full width of the opening to sit correctly and provide an effective weather seal.
• Check how square and true your brickwork is. If the opening is visibly out of square or the stonework is particularly rough, you may need to increase your fitting tolerances (deducting more than 10mm) to ensure the pre-squared frame will fit within the space.

Please allow for any tolerances you require in the ordering dimensions and the doors will be manufactured to the exact dimensions specified.
