Description
Traditional Style with Modern Presence
The Fort Vertical Wide Rib steel side-hinged garage door combines the familiar vertical-board look with bolder, wider ribbing to create a more pronounced, modern version of a classic design. Each leaf is pressed with deeper vertical profiles from top to bottom, adding shadow and texture that stands out more than the standard ribbed pattern. The result is a door that still feels traditional enough for older UK properties, but with a fresher, updated look.
The vertical wide ribs work particularly well on properties with taller façades or strong vertical window proportions, tying the garage visually into the rest of the elevation. In white or lighter shades the ribs add subtle interest; in darker RAL colours they create a striking panel effect that can make the garage door a key part of the overall frontage.
Robust Steel Construction
Manufactured from single-skin galvanised steel, the Vertical Wide Rib door is engineered for everyday residential use, offering a robust barrier without the complexity of insulated sectional or roller systems. The deeper vertical ribs significantly increase panel stiffness, helping the door resist flexing and improving the perceived solidity when operated.
This construction is ideal for the many UK garages that are not heated but need reliable, secure closure and good day-to-day durability. Whether used for storing a small car, tools, garden machinery or household items, the door is designed to cope with regular opening and closing in a busy domestic setting.
Side-Hinged Configuration Benefits
Side-hinged garage doors offer several practical advantages for residential properties:
• Full-Width Access: Both doors open fully, providing unrestricted access for vehicles, equipment, and materials
• Pedestrian Access: Single leaf can be opened for convenient walk-through access without opening the entire garage
• No Overhead Mechanism: Ceiling space remains free for storage, lighting, or overhead equipment
• Enhanced Traditional Aesthetic: Bold vertical lines suit both period and contemporary properties
• Manual Operation: Simple, reliable mechanical operation with no requirement for electrical power
• Easy Maintenance: Straightforward hinge and locking mechanisms are simple to maintain and repair
Flexible Configuration Options
The Fort Vertical Wide Rib is available in two door split configurations to suit different garage layouts and user preferences:
• 50/50 Split: Equal-width door leaves provide symmetrical appearance and balanced opening operation
• 1/3 - 2/3 Split: Asymmetric configuration offers convenient single-leaf pedestrian access whilst maintaining full opening capability
The doors open outward as standard, requiring sufficient clearance in front of the garage. Pull handles are fitted to the front panels as standard for convenient operation.
Extensive Colour Options
Available in a comprehensive range of RAL colours, the Fort Vertical Wide Rib can be perfectly matched to your property's existing colour scheme. Standard colour options include:
• Pure White (RAL 9010): Clean, bright finish suitable for most contemporary and traditional homes
• Signal Grey (RAL 7004): Modern neutral tone perfect for contemporary architectural styles
• Custom RAL Colours: Available upon request to match specific architectural requirements
The factory-applied colour finish offers a smart, durable surface that is simple to clean with mild soapy water, making it ideal for exposed UK locations.
Installation and Sizing
The Fort Vertical Wide Rib is supplied as a complete doorset with a steel frame, ready for direct fixing into the prepared opening. Standard sizes cover single garages up to 10ft wide, providing a straightforward replacement for many older timber or metal doors installed over past decades.
For installers and competent DIYers, this pre-assembled arrangement reduces time on site and helps ensure that clearances, alignment and gasket compression are correct once the frame is packed and fixed in place.

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.
Measure
The ordering sizes refer to the dimensions of the internal sub frame size. Please add on the dimensions for the sub frame to provide your overall dimensions. Allow 10mm minimum tolerance on the width and between 5-10mm on the height for your brickwork opening sizes.
