Contemporary Design with Professional Performance
The Fort Pro Standard Horizontal steel side-hinged garage door combines clean horizontal ribbing with reinforced panel construction for enhanced stability, strength and security. The horizontal rib profile creates a modern, linear aesthetic that suits contemporary UK properties whilst the reinforced Fort Pro construction delivers professional-grade durability that exceeds standard single-skin specifications.
The standard horizontal ribs run the full width of each panel, creating a subtle planked effect that adds visual interest without overwhelming the garage frontage. Combined with reinforced panel construction, weatherseals, lever handle and deadlock, and the option of a threshold, this door offers strong value for homeowners seeking professional-grade quality at a competitive price point.

Additional Information
It is a fundamental condition of this guarantee that the product has been installed, maintained and serviced correctly and is used solely for the purpose for which it was designed.
Incorrect installation, maintenance and service will invalidate this warranty.
The door must be kept in a clean condition and free from impact damage.
Fort 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.
