Premium Side Sliding Garage Doors for Modern Homes & Businesses
RJ Garage Doors offers high-quality side sliding garage doors, an excellent choice for properties requiring space-saving, smooth operation, and modern aesthetics. Unlike conventional garage doors, these doors slide sideways along the wall, making them ideal for garages with low ceiling clearance or obstructed overhead space. Our range of side sliding garage doors combines durability, customisation, and effortless functionality to meet both residential and commercial needs.
How Do Side Sliding Garage Doors Work?
A side sliding garage door moves horizontally along a track, rather than opening vertically like traditional roller or sectional doors. This allows for easy pedestrian access without needing to fully open the door, providing added convenience. The mechanism is equipped with advanced tracking systems, ensuring smooth and quiet operation every time.
The 4Ddoors Side Sliding Sectional Garage Doors are available in LPU 42 (42mm thick sections), providing good thermal insulation while ensuring smooth and quiet movement. These doors are specifically designed for applications with limited headroom, making them an innovative solution for various properties.
The Side Sliding Sectional Garage Door is available in six surface finishes: Decograin, Sandgrain, Silkgrain, Woodgrain, Duragrain, and Planar. It can be automated or fitted with a custom handle for easy pedestrian access, offering flexibility in operation.

Features of 4Ddoors Side Sliding Garage Doors
To customize your garage door design, glazing elements and ventilation grilles can be added to the profile of the garage door.
The panels of the 4Ddoors Side Sliding garage door are 42mm thick with PU foam infill that are guided safely and precisely at the top by stable twin rollers in addition to the bottom with a rounded floor rail. A flat design of only 25mm makes it effortless to drive in and out of the garage space. If needed the bottom rail space is simple and quick to clean as it is open at both ends.
The 4Ddoors German Side Sliding Sectional garage doors can also be opened partially to allow pedestrian access if needed. This can be a faster way to get stored items but is also ideal for areas where the garage is used as a pedestrian access point to a property. This minimizes risk involved in opening the entire garage door and exposing the garage space. The passage width can be individually set in doors with an automatic operator and has four handle colours available.
Included within the 4Ddoors German Sectional Door Range, the edges of the Side Sliding garage doors feature flexible and weather resistant seal on the sides and the lintel area of the door frame. This is also included between the individual door sections and at the bottom edge to provide a good and clean door seal. This further assists in the thermal insulation already provided by the 42mm thick sections.
The bottom and top garage door guides close the door precisely while two additional hooks on the sides of the door connect the end of the door leaf tightly with the side frame and the mechanical lock prevents the door from being forced open. This increases the break-in resistance of the garage door creating a safer garage space for you and your family.
