For most side hinged doors, the steel sub frames have a rebated edge to act as a stopper when the door is closed which provides a better weather-seal between the panel and the frame.

Side hinged doors can be made to bespoke dimensions, but they are most commonly used for single garages with a maximum width of 3m. Garage openings larger than this will require additional heavy-duty hinges to fix the panels to the sub frame.
