Double sectional garage doors in Wilmslow

Double sectional garage doors: what matters for Wilmslow garages

Does a wider door need different springs?

Yes. A double door is far heavier than a single, so it runs on a larger spring set, usually torsion springs on a longer shaft, and heavier-gauge tracks and cables. These are sized to the exact door weight by the manufacturer.

Can a double door have a pedestrian door in it?

Some ranges offer an integrated wicket door within a sectional door. It is useful on wide doors where there is no separate side door, though it adds cost and has threshold and width limits.
