Low headroom sectional garage doors: what matters for Rushden garages
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.
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.
What can you choose for your Rushden garage?
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.

Guide price: £2,295–£3,295 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
