Garador Beaumont with Windows (19 Colour Options) Side hinged garage door Steel Garador

Garador Beaumont with Windows Steel Side Hinged Garage Door, Standard Sizes

This is Garador's classic Beaumont panelled design with the shallow top row of steel pressings replaced by four glazed windows, two across the top of each leaf, sitting above two rows of taller vertical panels. Because the glazing is positioned right at the top of the door, it lets plenty of natural daylight flood into the garage while keeping the main body of the door solid.

It is the most practical choice in the Garador steel side hinged range if your garage does not have an external window of its own and you use the space as a workshop, home gym, utility room, or hobby area—meaning you do not have to switch the strip lights on every time you step inside during the day. The top windows also break up the mass of a solid steel door on the front of the house, echoing traditional coach house doors and porch fanlights.

Window Styles and Clear or Stippled Glazing

You can tailor the look of the top windows to match the windows on your house with three distinct glazing designs, all included at no extra cost:

• Standard: A clean, open rectangular pane with no glazing bars, ideal for letting in the maximum amount of daylight.
• Cross: Fitted with a traditional cross bar dividing each window into four panes to match Georgian bar or cottage style house windows.
• Diamond: Detailed with a classic diamond lattice pattern for period and character homes.

Each of the three window styles can be ordered with either clear or stippled (obscure) glazing. Stippled glazing lets bright daylight through into the garage while blurring the view from outside, making it by far the most popular choice if your garage faces the street and you keep bicycles, power tools, or household equipment inside.

Window Frame Colours

The window cassette frames are supplied in White or Brown as standard. If you choose one of Garador's 18 optional powder coated door colours—such as Anthracite Grey, Chartwell Green, Fir Green, or Black—the window frames can be factory colour matched to the door at extra cost for a seamless finish (note that colour matched frames are not available on Burgundy Brown or Golden Brown doors). On coloured doors ordered without the factory colour match option, standard white window frames can also be painted on site.

Everyday Walk In Convenience and What Is Included

Like all Garador side hinged doors, both leaves swing outwards so there are no internal tracks or springs taking up ceiling headroom inside the garage. You can unlock and open just the right hand leading leaf for quick everyday walk in access, while the fixed leaf stays bolted top and bottom.

• 12 standard sizes, from 7'0 x 6'4 up to 8'0 x 7'0 nominal codes
• Four top glazed windows (two per leaf) in Standard, Cross, or Diamond style
• Choice of clear or stippled privacy glazing
• Supplied factory framed in a colour matched 75mm steel box frame
• Black lever handles inside and out with two point shoot bolt locking
• Hydraulic gas pistons, metal door stays, concealed hinges, and a 20mm threshold
• Traffic White (RAL 9016) as standard, with 18 other colours at extra cost

Construction and Split Options

The door leaves are pressed from high grade galvanised steel built around a rigid welded steel box section chassis and factory powder coated inside and out. Each door arrives prehung in its steel frame ready to fix between your brickwork.

The Beaumont with Windows is supplied as an equal 50/50 split as standard, with two windows on each leaf. On the 7'0 wide sizes (2234mm overall frame width), a 1/3 and 2/3 split is available at the exact same price, giving an 800mm leading leaf with one window and a wider fixed leaf with two windows. Please call or email us if you would like to order the 1/3 and 2/3 split.

* Full overall door and frame dimensions in millimetres are listed on the Measure tab, and the Beaumont with Windows is also available purpose made if your brickwork opening sits between standard sizes.

Garador Steel Side Hinged Door Options

These options apply to all Garador steel side hinged garage doors in standard sizes. Where an option only applies to certain door designs, this is noted clearly below.

Colour Options

All Garador steel side hinged doors are powder coated in Traffic White (RAL 9016) as standard on both the inside and outside faces, with the steel box frame finished to match. A further 18 factory applied powder coated colours are available at extra cost to complement your property's windows, fascias, or front door:

• Agate Grey RAL 7038
• Anthracite Grey RAL 7016
• Black RAL 9005 (Jet Black)
• Blue RAL 5005 (Signal Blue)
• Burgundy Brown
• Chartwell Green (BS 4800)
• Dark Brown RAL 8028 (Terra Brown)
• Fir Green RAL 6009
• Golden Brown
• Green RAL 6005 (Moss Green)
• Light Grey RAL 7035
• Light Ivory RAL 1015
• Pigeon Blue RAL 5014
• Red RAL 3003 (Ruby Red)
• Slate Grey RAL 7015
• Steel Blue RAL 5011
• Stone Grey RAL 7030
• Window Grey RAL 7040

* Screen colours are a visual guide only. If you need an exact match to existing windows or doors, please check against an official physical RAL colour chart before ordering.

Handles and Internal Release

• Black lever handle inside and out (included as standard): Allows convenient push down opening from both sides whenever the door is unlocked.
• Black synthetic knob outside with lever handle inside: Because the outside knob does not turn the latch, the door can only be opened from outside using the key. This is a popular security upgrade as the door cannot be left accidentally unlatched while you are working inside the garage or garden.
• Anodised aluminium lever handles in White: Matching lever set inside and out for a clean, coordinated look on white doors.
• Anodised aluminium lever handles in Chrome effect: Smart metallic finish inside and out to suit modern hardware.

On the inside of the garage, a central flip up handle on the inactive leaf releases both the top and bottom shoot bolts in one easy movement, so you never have to reach up to the top frame or bend down to the floor to open both leaves.

Leading Door Leaf

The leading leaf is the active door you open first for everyday foot access and the leaf that carries the exterior handle and lock. The right hand leaf leads as standard (when viewed from outside the garage). A left hand leading leaf can be specified at extra cost, which is well worth choosing if an adjacent boundary wall, fence, parked car, or garden path makes opening the right hand side awkward.

Door Split (50/50 or 1/3 and 2/3)

All standard size steel doors are supplied as an equal 50/50 split as standard. If you use your garage regularly on foot, an asymmetric 1/3 and 2/3 split is available at the exact same price on selected models and widths:

• Carlton: 1/3 and 2/3 split available on 6'0, 6'6, and 7'0 wide sizes
• Georgian, Beaumont, Cathedral, and Beaumont with Windows: 1/3 and 2/3 split available on 7'0 wide sizes only
• Ascot and Windsor: Supplied as a 50/50 split only

On a 1/3 and 2/3 door, the leading pedestrian leaf is always 800mm wide and the wider leaf makes up the remainder of the opening. On panelled designs, the pressings are arranged in three columns with wider spacing. To order a 1/3 and 2/3 split, please call or email us when placing your order.

Windows, Glazing and Window Frame Colours (Beaumont with Windows Only)

The Beaumont with Windows features a top row of glazed windows (four windows on a 50/50 split door, or three windows on a 1/3 and 2/3 split door) with the following choices:

• Window styles (no extra cost): Choose between Standard (plain open rectangular pane for maximum light), Cross (traditional Georgian style cross bars dividing each window into four panes), or Diamond (classic diamond lattice pattern).
• Glazing finish (no extra cost): Available in either Clear polycarbonate glazing for an unobstructed view out, or Stippled (obscure) polycarbonate glazing, which lets natural daylight flood into the garage while obscuring the view inside from the street.
• Window frame colours: Window cassette frames are supplied in White or Brown as standard. On colored doors, you can upgrade to factory colour matched window frames at extra cost so the window surrounds match your chosen door colour inside and out.

Please note that factory colour matched window frames are not available on Burgundy Brown or Golden Brown doors (brown window frames are normally chosen on these two colours). On coloured doors ordered without the factory colour match option, standard white window cassettes can also be painted on site.

Recommended Application

Engineered for domestic residential garages and light commercial storage buildings.

Garador Steel Side Hinged Specification

Door Construction

Single skin high grade galvanised steel door panels built around a rigid welded steel box section chassis for strength and stability. Doors are factory powder coated in Traffic White (RAL 9016) inside and out as standard, with 18 optional powder coated colours available (see the Options tab for the full colour list).

Factory Framed Assembly

Every door comes prehung in its own rigid galvanised steel sub frame ready for site installation, factory finished in the same colour as the door leaves. The frame uprights are 75mm wide (150mm total width), the head is 60mm high, and the frame depth is 75mm. Viewed from outside, the right hand leaf leads as standard and the left hand leaf is the fixed leaf (meaning the fixed leaf is on the right hand side when viewed from inside the garage).

Concealed Hinges

Heavy duty hinges are concealed within the 75mm steel frame, with no hinge knuckles standing proud of the exterior door face. This keeps the outside appearance clean and leaves nothing exposed to get a tool behind.

Two Point Shoot Bolt Locking and Floor Level

Internal shoot bolt latches are fitted at the top and bottom of the inner leading edge of the fixed leaf to secure it into the frame. The active leading leaf then locks against it with a Euro cylinder mortice lock and lever handle set, while the overlapping centre stile helps prevent forced entry to the locking mechanism. Please note that the garage floor must be finished and level across the threshold for the bottom bolt to engage properly.

Door Stays and Gas Pistons

Both door leaves come complete with solid metal door stays with a pull cord release to hold the leaves securely open so wind cannot blow them shut. Hydraulic gas pistons are also fitted to each leaf to provide a smooth, controlled closing motion.

Weather Seals and Aluminium Threshold

Sturdy rubber weather seals are built into the steel frame along the door stop and the leading door leaf, sealing around three sides of the door to help prevent draughts. A 20mm high aluminium threshold is supplied as standard for the base of the door.

Handles and Internal Release

A black lever handle is supplied on the right hand leading leaf as standard (viewed from outside), paired with a centrally located flip up handle on the inside of the fixed leaf that releases the top and bottom shoot bolts in one movement.

Windows and Glazing (Beaumont with Windows Only)

On the Beaumont with Windows model, the top row of panels is fitted with shatter resistant single glazed polycarbonate window cassettes (four windows on a 50/50 split door, or three windows on a 1/3 and 2/3 split door). Available in Standard plain, Cross lattice, or Diamond lattice window styles with a choice of clear or stippled (obscure) glazing. Window frames are supplied in white or brown synthetic cassettes as standard, with factory colour matched window frames available at extra cost on all door colours except Burgundy Brown and Golden Brown.

Standard Sizes

• Carlton: 18 standard sizes, from 1930 x 1891mm up to 2539 x 2196mm overall frame dimensions
• Ascot, Windsor, Georgian, Beaumont, Cathedral, and Beaumont with Windows: 12 standard sizes, from 2234 x 1991mm up to 2539 x 2196mm overall frame dimensions

Order sizes refer to Garador's nominal imperial size codes. Because these include the factory fitted 75mm side frames and 60mm head frame, please refer to the full size table on the Measure tab for exact overall frame and clear opening dimensions.

Fixing and Drive Through Clearance

These doors are designed for in between brickwork fixing, with a recommended minimum fitting clearance of 5mm per side. Fixing behind the brickwork opening is not recommended. With both leaves open to 90 degrees, the nominal drive through clearance is 30mm less than the nominal opening width (or 180mm less than the overall frame width) and 125mm less than the opening height.

Door Split and Operation

Supplied as an equal 50/50 split as standard, with a 1/3 and 2/3 split available on selected designs and widths (see the Options tab). Both door leaves open outwards as standard, leaving the full internal ceiling and wall space inside the garage completely clear.

Standards and Use

All Garador garage doors comply with BS EN 13241 safety standards and are suitable for domestic garages and lightweight commercial use.

Installing Your Garador Steel Side Hinged Door

Every Garador steel side hinged door arrives fully assembled and hung in its steel frame, with the hinges, handle, locking, stays and gas pistons already fitted. Installation is mainly a case of fixing the frame squarely into the opening, so it's a manageable job for a competent DIYer with a helper. Plenty of customers use a local fitter too.

Installation instructions are supplied with every door.

Before You Fit

• A level floor is essential. The bottom shoot bolt drops into the floor, so the floor needs to be finished and level across the opening for the fixed leaf to lock properly
• The doors open outwards, so check the ground in front of the garage is clear and level enough for both leaves to swing fully open. A driveway that rises towards the garage can stop the leaves short
• The frame is designed to fit between the brickwork. Fitting behind the reveals isn't recommended
• Check the brickwork either side is sound enough to take fixings, especially on older garages
• Make sure the opening is within the minimum sizes shown on the Measure tab before fitting day

During Fitting

Fix the frame plumb and square, checking the diagonals. If the frame is twisted, the leaves won't meet evenly, the seals won't close properly and the shoot bolts may not line up. Once fixed, check both leaves swing freely and the stays engage.

Looking After Your Door

Garador steel doors are factory finished and don't need painting. Wash the door down with warm soapy water now and again, especially near the coast or a gritted road, and clean off anything corrosive straight away. Small scratches should be touched up promptly to stop corrosion getting started. Give the hinges, lock and shoot bolts a light lubricant once or twice a year, but don't oil the lock cylinder. Use graphite powder if it's sticking.

Garador Steel Side Hinged Door Warranty

Garador cover the safe and reliable function of their steel side hinged garage doors for 10 years from the date of purchase. A 5 year warranty applies to the hinges. Replacement parts are covered for 6 months, or to the end of the original warranty period, whichever is longer.

What's Covered

During the warranty period Garador will put right any defect that can be shown to be caused by a material or manufacturing fault. At their discretion they'll replace the faulty part, repair it or offer a reduction in price. The costs of removal, refitting and carriage aren't covered, and any replaced parts become the property of Garador Ltd.

Requirements

Warranty claims only apply in the country where the door was bought, the door must have been bought through Garador's authorised distribution, and the warranty only covers the door itself. You'll need the completed warranty card and your dated proof of purchase to make a claim.

What Isn't Covered

• Normal wear and tear
• Incorrect installation
• Lack of care and maintenance
• Incorrect use, at first or later on
• Deliberate or careless damage
• Fire, water, salts, alkaline solutions, acids and abnormal environmental conditions
• Damage in transport or fitting
• Priming and other surface treatments, including treatments applied incorrectly or too late
• Repairs by unqualified persons
• Use of non Garador parts without the manufacturer's approval
• Removal or defacing of the product number

Looking After the Finish

Minor scratches and marks aren't covered and should be touched up straight away to prevent corrosion. Touching up minor surface damage with a touch up spray or paint stick won't affect your warranty. Corrosive substances like salt should be washed off promptly.

Making a Claim

If you need to make a claim, please contact us with your name, address and phone number, your original invoice, the door type and product number, and a description of the problem. Garador may need to inspect the door in place. If the claim turns out not to be covered, the cost of the inspection visit may be charged.

Measuring for a Garador Steel Side Hinged Door, Standard Sizes

Standard size Garador side hinged doors are ordered by an imperial size, for example 7'0 x 6'6, which has a four digit Garador size code, in this case 7066. The imperial size isn't the actual size of the door. What matters is the overall size of the door and frame together, shown in the table below.

How to Measure

1. Measure the width of the opening brick to brick, at the top, middle and bottom. Use the smallest figure.
2. Measure the height from the finished floor to the underside of the lintel, on both sides and in the middle. Use the smallest figure.
3. Find the size in the table where your opening is at least as big as the minimum brickwork opening shown.

The overall sizes don't include any fitting tolerance. To fit between the brickwork, your opening needs to be at least 10mm wider and 5mm higher than the overall door and frame. These are total allowances, not per side, and they're already added to the minimum opening column.

Standard Size Table

Worked Example

Your brick to brick opening is 2250mm wide and 2050mm high. Size 7066 needs a minimum opening of 2244mm x 2046mm, so it fits, leaving 16mm on the width and 9mm on the height.

Clear Opening Inside the Frame

The frame uprights are 75mm wide and the head is 60mm high, so the clear opening inside the frame is 150mm narrower and 60mm lower than the overall size. On a 7066 that's 2084mm wide x 1981mm high between the frame. When the leaves are open, their thickness takes a little more off the usable width, so allow for this if you need to get a wide car through.

* Don't simply convert feet and inches to millimetres. Always work from the overall sizes in the table.

* Only Carlton is available in the 6'0 and 6'6 widths and in the 6'0 heights. All other steel designs start at 7'0 x 6'4.

* If none of the sizes fit without a large gap, most designs are also available purpose made to your exact overall size. If you can't find the size you need in the drop down menus, please call or email us.
