Design and appearance
The Standard Ribbed Vertical smooth wood‑effect door combines fine vertical ribbing with a timber‑style finish, giving a classic boarded appearance with modern detailing. The narrow ribs create gentle shadow lines, so the door has interest without looking busy.
In wood‑effect finishes it is an easy match for houses with timber windows or cladding, and it sits naturally on both traditional and newer properties. The vertical emphasis also helps taller openings feel well proportioned.
Construction and insulation
The door leaves are made from 40mm double‑skinned insulated steel panels, with a rigid core that provides strength and thermal performance. The ribbing is rolled into the outer skin, and the wood‑effect finish is applied over this profiled surface.
This construction helps to control heat loss, limit draughts and improve acoustic comfort in the garage, while providing a robust structure for everyday operation. It also maintains consistent rib lines and panel flatness over time.
Operation and configuration
The door opens outwards on side hinges, with no tracks or springs projecting into the garage space. A single leaf is used for everyday entry and exit, making it feel much like a wide personnel door in regular use.
When vehicles or larger items need to be moved, both leaves can be opened to give the full clear width. Leaf splits can be tailored to suit site conditions, including the available swing space on the drive.
Finishes, textures and colours
Four smooth wood‑effect colours are available, giving a choice of timber looks from lighter, more contemporary shades to deeper, more traditional tones. The fine vertical ribbing enhances the effect, creating the impression of narrow, evenly spaced boards.
Internally the door has a light finish, helping to bounce available light around the garage. Externally, the wood‑effect surface is designed for easy cleaning and does not require regular staining or varnishing.
Sizing and installation
These doors are manufactured to order up to 3188mm wide, so the frame can be sized closely to the actual opening. This keeps the finished door looking well centred and avoids excessive infill around the frame.
Each set is supplied with the frame and leaves pre‑assembled and aligned in the factory. Installation then involves positioning the unit, fixing through the frame, and checking operation and clearances.

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.
