Standard features included with Carteck GSW 40-L insulated side hinged doors at no extra cost.
All Carteck insulated side-hinged doors come with a colour matched frame. N.B. Wood laminate finish doors come with complimentary flat colour frame, not foiled woodgrain: Golden Oak RAL 8003; Rosewood RAL 8016; Dark Oak RAL 8014; Winchester Oak RAL 8001.
Extra neat, spring dampened door stays hold the doors in the 90° open position. They prevent wind slam or wind flinging the doors back on themselves.
Standard brushed aluminium threshold braces the frame legs at the bottom and give the door seals along the bottom edge of each leaf something to seal against.
Attractive, high quality, brushed stainless steel handle and Eurolock escutcheon. Double throw sash mortice lock and secure centre cover strip on the active leaf ensure a high level of security.
Depending on door size, 2 or 3 new concealed aluminium hinges are fitted per door leaf. These hinges are adjustable, enabling easy on-site fine adjustment of the doors. No hinges to the outside of the door removes an obvious point of attack and also makes it difficult to lever open the door should an attempt be made.
Quality weather strips on all four edges of the door and on the three sided door frame greatly increase draught sealing and weather proofing.
Sturdy shoot bolts top and bottom of the fixed leaf are neatly set into the door edge, giving a very neat internal appearance.Optional extras for Carteck GSW 40-L insulated side hinged doors are available at additional cost.
Triple point locking and a heavy duty aluminium threshold with inbuilt seal are available as optional extras for Carteck GSW 40-L doors.
Please see photos below.
- Triple point locking. The active leaf is available with key operated 3 point locking to further increase the overall security of the door.
- Heavy duty aluminium threshold. A sturdy aluminium extrusion, with a rubber lined rebate into which the door leaves close, is recommended to improve the draught, weather and debris seal along the bottom edge of the doors. A built-in thermal break in the threshold reduces thermal transfer. Can be driven over by vehicles without fear of damage.

Features and custom options of the Fort insulated side hinged garage doors
