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.
When is a door oversized?

Questions from Dorking 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.
How much is a large or oversized sectional door?
Large doors are priced on survey because size and structure vary so much. As a guide they start from £4,495 supplied and fitted.
Which parts of Dorking do you cover?
We cover Dorking across postcode districts KT23, RH3, RH4, RH5, along with nearby Leatherhead, Reigate and Redhill. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
