Side sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Sheffield homeowners know about side sectional doors?

Is it secure?

The door runs in a top and bottom track and locks at the closing edge. Motorised versions are held closed by the drive when shut.

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 Sheffield?

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

Questions from Sheffield customers

Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.

Can it open part-way?

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Sheffield?

Usually not.

If in doubt, check with Sheffield City Council.
