Side sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Stockton-on-Tees homeowners know about side sectional doors?

Is it electric?

Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.

How much side room is needed?

The door parks along one side wall, so that wall needs to be clear for roughly the width of the door, plus a small amount of side room on the other jamb. Shelving, windows or a side door on the parking wall can rule it out, which is why we look at the whole garage at survey.

Which options are available in Stockton-on-Tees?

  • Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
  • Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
  • FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
