Double sectional garage doors in Newtownabbey

Choosing a double sectional door for a home in Newtownabbey

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.

How long does fitting take?

A double sectional door is still usually a one-day job for a two-person team, including removal of the old door, unless the opening needs building work first.
