Single sectional garage doors: what matters for Exeter garages
Can you widen the drive-through width?
Many single sectional doors are fitted behind the opening, which can give a slightly wider clear opening than the old frame allowed. The survey shows what clear width you will end up with.
Manual or electric?
A well-balanced single sectional door is light enough to lift by hand, so manual operation is a valid choice and saves money. Most people still choose electric for convenience and security.
