What should Hailsham homeowners know about large sectional doors?
How are lead times affected?
Non-standard sizes are made to order, so lead times can run longer than for common domestic sizes. The quote shows the expected lead time.
What about oak-framed and timber buildings?
Doors can be fixed to timber frames, but the fixings and any packers have to suit the frame, and green oak moves as it dries. The survey checks the frame and the fixing positions.

Questions from Hailsham customers
Will a large door need a special motor?
It needs an operator rated for its size and weight, which may be a heavier rail operator or a shaft-mounted unit.
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.
