Double sectional garage doors: what matters for Dunfermline garages
Will a standard operator lift it?
Domestic operators come in ratings for different door areas. Wide doors need an operator rated for the size and weight, and on very wide or heavy doors a more powerful unit or a different drive arrangement is specified.
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.

What rules apply in Dunfermline?
The planning authority for Dunfermline is Fife Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

Questions from Dunfermline customers
How much is a double sectional garage door?
A double insulated sectional door, supplied and fitted with an electric operator, is typically around £3,295–£4,995, depending on width, finish and glazing.
Do I need more headroom for a double door?
