Key questions about double sectional doors in Barnstaple
One wide door or two single doors?
If your garage has a central pier, two single doors may still make sense. If the opening is clear from side to side, one wide sectional door gives the most usable width and a cleaner look. On some properties removing a central pier is possible, but that is structural work needing proper design, not a decision to make on the doorstep.
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.
What can you choose for your Barnstaple garage?
- Heavier operatorOperator rated for the door area and weight.
- Matching side doorPedestrian door in the same finish.
- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.
- Window insertsRows of windows in one section for daylight.
How much does a double sectional door cost in Barnstaple?

Questions from Barnstaple customers
Is a double sectional door heavy to open by hand?
When it is correctly balanced, the springs carry most of the weight. Even so, most people choose electric operation on a double.
Do I need more headroom for a double door?
Headroom depends more on the track and spring system than the width. Where headroom is tight, a low-headroom version is available.
Do you cover Barnstaple?
Yes. We cover Barnstaple, including postcode districts EX31, EX32. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Barnstaple?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, check with the local district or borough council.
