DOOR SPLIT OPTIONS
50/50 or 1/3–2/3?
Here’s the Difference.
Garador Side-Hinged doors are available with different leaf configurations depending on the design and size you choose. The split determines how wide each opening leaf is and can make a big difference to everyday pedestrian access.
01
50/50 SPLIT
BALANCED & VERSATILE
50%
50%
Two equal-width leaves create a balanced, symmetrical Side-Hinged door.
50/50
The traditional Side-Hinged arrangement. Both door leaves are approximately equal in width, giving the garage a balanced appearance and allowing either both leaves or just the leading leaf to be opened when required.
✓
Balanced appearance
Equal-width leaves create a clean and symmetrical look across the garage opening.
✓
Simple everyday access
Open only the leading leaf when entering on foot, with a bike or to access storage.
✓
Available across the widest range
50/50 is the standard configuration across the majority of Garador Side-Hinged designs.
GOOD TO KNOW
If you prefer a traditional symmetrical appearance and a generous everyday access leaf, 50/50 is usually the most straightforward choice.
02
1/3–2/3 SPLIT
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
800mm
REMAINDER
The smaller 800mm leaf becomes the dedicated leading leaf for convenient pedestrian access.
1/3–2/3
Designed for convenient everyday access. Garador's 1/3–2/3 arrangement uses an 800mm-wide smaller leaf, while the larger leaf varies to make up the required overall garage door width.
✓
800mm leading leaf
The smaller leaf is always 800mm wide and acts as the leading door.
✓
Ideal for frequent access
The smaller leaf works particularly well when the garage is frequently accessed on foot.
✓
Full opening when required
Open the secondary leaf as well whenever the full garage entrance is needed.
GOOD TO KNOW
The 1/3–2/3 option is only available on compatible designs and widths. Our configurator automatically checks availability for you.
