Yes. Operators are available for low headroom installations, though the operator position and rail length must suit the reduced space.

What rules apply in Bonnyrigg?
The planning authority for Bonnyrigg is Midlothian 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.
