What should Northampton homeowners know about low headroom sectional doors?
What if there is almost no headroom?
If even a low headroom kit will not fit, a side sectional door, which parks against a wall, or a roller door are the alternatives we will talk you through.
Are there trade-offs?
Low headroom systems can cost more, can need a little more depth inside the garage, and some operators need a specific bracket or a different drive. We check all of this at survey.
Options and upgrades for Northampton homes
- 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.

Questions from Northampton customers
What if a low headroom door still will not fit?
A side sectional door that slides along the wall, or a compact roller door, are the usual alternatives.
Will a low headroom door look different?
From the outside it looks the same as any sectional door in the same finish.

Will West Northamptonshire Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not.

If in doubt, ask West Northamptonshire Council before ordering.
