Design and appearance
This Centre Ribbed Vertical model pairs upright ribbing with a smooth wood‑effect finish, creating a door that looks like finely boarded timber but behaves like engineered steel. The vertical ribs give a classic, tall appearance that suits both cottages and more formal façades.
The wood‑effect surface softens the geometry and adds warmth, so the door can sit comfortably alongside timber windows, cladding or traditional front doors. It is particularly effective on properties where the garage door is a prominent part of the front elevation.
Construction and insulation
Each door leaf is built from a 40mm thick insulated steel panel, using a double‑skin construction with a rigid core. This gives the door the solidity and weight associated with quality timber doors, but with a more stable, predictable structure.
The insulation helps to limit heat loss and reduce condensation, making the garage a more pleasant environment and better suited to storage of tools, equipment or hobby materials. The ribbing is formed into the outer skin, so the profile and wood‑effect finish are fully integrated.
Operation and configuration
The door is side hinged and opens outwards, so there is no impact on ceiling height or internal fixtures. Daily use is straightforward: open the main active leaf for quick access, leaving the second leaf closed unless you need the full opening.
Different leaf splits can be specified to suit the layout of the drive and the way the space is used. This flexibility is useful where the garage is used more for day‑to‑day access than regular vehicle storage.
Finishes, textures and colours
Four smooth wood‑effect colours are offered, providing a choice of timber tones that work with both red brick and lighter renders. The vertical ribbing enhances the appearance of the grain, giving the impression of narrow timber boards.
The internal face of the door remains in a light finish for a brighter garage interior. Externally, the wood‑effect surface is designed for simple cleaning with no need for periodic staining or varnishing.
Sizing and installation
Doors are manufactured to measure up to 3188mm wide, allowing the frame to be ordered to match the structural opening closely. This keeps sightlines even and reduces the need for large infill pieces around the frame.
The doorset is supplied fully assembled, with both leaves pre‑hung in the frame. Installation is reduced to positioning, fixing and checking operation, making it a relatively straightforward job for experienced fitters.

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.
> 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.
> Door stays - Protecting your door from slam closure on windy days these top grade, spring dampened stays hold the door securley in the open position.
> Flush bolt security - The inactive leaf is secured with flush bolts to the top and bottom of the leaf.
