Large and oversized sectional garage doors in Kenilworth

What should Kenilworth homeowners know about large sectional doors?

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.

Do tall doors need more headroom?

A tall door needs a correspondingly long horizontal track and a suitable ceiling or roof structure to fix it to. Barns and garages with pitched roofs often have room for a high-lift or vertical-lift track that keeps the door higher up the roof slope.
