We regret that this door is currently unavailable, however we recommend the Garador Kenmore Composite GRP Side Hinged Door as an alternative. Click here for details.
The GDO Clovelly is a traditional style timber effect door in a panelled design made with long lasting composite material.
The GDO 3-Crown composite doors are very strong, dent resistant and virtually maintenance free.
Side hinged doors tend to be made with real timber which can be very heavy and can rot, bow, crack and sag over time. Composite is a lightweight fibreglass type material that is used to build ocean-going yachts amongst many other things. It will withstand high salt levels and damp environments (i.e seaside locations) that timber will not, and doesnt warp or crack with changes in the weather. This makes it the perfect material whether you live by the coast, or simply wish to buy a beautiful, low maintenance door that will last a lifetime. It can simply be wiped clean to remove any dirt if needed.
The GDO composite side hinged doors come with a factory fitted steel frame for ease of installation. This frame is powder coated in three different colours (White, Brown or Black) to compliment the chosen colour of your new door.
Side hinged doors are great for garages with limited space inside, making full use of your internal space and also losing very little drive through width and height compared with other types of doors. They are handy if the garage is only used for pedestrian access, as half of the door can be kept bolted and you can make use of storage space directly behind the door.

GDO Pull Handles S/S Care and Maintenance
GDO garage doors come with pull handles to the front panel as standard.
The pull handles are made using grade 304 Stainless steel for use externally and internally in heavily sanitised areas such as kitchens and washrooms.
Like all steel, failure to keep the item clean can cause surface blemishes and what looks like a major product failure and rusting.
You will often find marks appearing in the winter when the roads have been gritted, salt on the surface are all steel products arch enemy.
If your pull bars develop small blemished areas during December, January and February in particular then you should wash them off using cold water and washing up liquid, you can use a cream cleaner like CIF rubbed lightly to remove the blemishes.
If you have them appear it means you have salt on the surface and need to increase the frequency of the door washdown.
Please remember all stainless steel can blemish even knives and forks in a dishwasher because salt is used as a scrubbing agent, wiping blemishes off with a cloth is standard practice and you should treat the door bars the same, clean and wipe regularly.
If you live close to the sea or estuary you should apply a light oil after washing once a month to keep the item clean and fresh.
