Is a domestic operator enough?
Not always. Larger, heavier doors need an operator rated for the size, and very large doors may use a shaft-mounted operator instead of a ceiling rail.
Which options are available in Thatcham?

- Heavier springsSpring sets sized to the larger door weight.
- Shaft or rail operatorSpecified to the door size.
- High-lift tracksUse roof height so the door parks higher.

Questions from Thatcham customers
Can a sectional door go in an oak barn?
Usually. The fixing method is matched to the frame, and allowance is made for timber movement.

It needs an operator rated for its size and weight, which may be a heavier rail operator or a shaft-mounted unit.

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