Double sectional garage doors: what matters for Kirkintilloch garages
What sizes are common in the UK?
Many older double garages have openings of about 14 feet by 7 feet (roughly 4267 by 2134 mm) or 16 feet by 7 feet (about 4877 by 2134 mm). New builds vary, which is why every door is made to the measured opening rather than to a stock size.
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.

- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.

Questions from Kirkintilloch customers
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.
Can you replace two single doors with one double sectional?
Only if the central pier can be removed safely. That needs structural assessment and often a new lintel, which is arranged separately before the door is ordered.
Do you cover Kirkintilloch?
Yes. We cover Kirkintilloch, including postcode districts G66. 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 Kirkintilloch?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, check with East Dunbartonshire Council.
