Key questions about low headroom sectional doors in Fareham
What changes on a low headroom door?
The springs may be moved to the rear of the tracks or replaced with a different spring system, and the top section follows a tighter path. The door works the same way from outside and looks the same.
How much headroom does a standard door need?
Published figures for standard tracks run from about 100 mm to a little over 200 mm above the opening, depending on the range, the spring type, whether there is an operator and whether the door has a pass door. When that space is not there, a low headroom kit changes the track geometry and spring position to fit in less, with some systems quoting as little as 70 to 125 mm.
Which options are available in Fareham?
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.
