What should Emsworth 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.
When does a side sectional beat an overhead door?
If you have a low ceiling, a beam just above the opening, ceiling storage or a loft hatch you want to keep using, a side-sliding door avoids the ceiling altogether. It needs clear wall space on one side instead.

Questions from Emsworth customers
Will a side sectional fit if I have a side door?
It depends where the side door is. The parking wall needs to be clear, so a side door on that wall can stop it fitting.
Can a side sectional door be insulated?
Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Emsworth?
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, check with the local district or borough council.
