Choosing a large sectional door for a home in Prescot
When is a door oversized?
Anything taller than about 2.3 metres or wider than a typical double, roughly 5 metres, usually moves into larger spring and track specifications. Motorhome garages often need heights of 3 metres or more.
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.
Options and upgrades for Prescot homes

- Heavier springsSpring sets sized to the larger door weight.
- Vision rowsWindows across one section.
- High-lift tracksUse roof height so the door parks higher.
