01 / THE WIDE DOOR
Across a double opening, panel choice, hardware specification and counterbalance deserve equal attention.
A double steel sectional door is designed to span a two-car garage opening as one connected set of panels. It opens upwards along tracks, leaving the driveway clear while the door moves overhead inside the garage.
The extra width makes correct spring balance, track alignment, panel construction and reinforcement especially important. Finish names such as Chromadek and Aluzinc describe different coating or material specifications—confirm the exact steel and finish quoted for your chosen door.

YOUR DOOR / YOUR OPENING
A wider entrance needs a more considered fit.
DOUBLE WIDTH / HEADROOM / STRUCTURE
Start with the opening.
Then plan the whole door.
As a planning reference, double sectional openings in South Africa are often approximately 4,880–5,000 mm wide and around 2,130–2,200 mm high, depending on the product. These are examples, not fixed dimensions. Your finished opening and chosen door specifications determine the size required.
Finished double opening
Measure the usable width and height across the finished opening; note columns, uneven edges and existing framing.
Headroom, side room and depth
Trackwork and the open door need room above and behind the opening. Ceiling beams, light fittings and storage affect clearance.
Weight, balance and automation
A double door needs the correct counterbalance and opener specification for its size and expected daily use.
A final site measurement should confirm door width and height, internal clearance and whether the lintel and surrounding structure suit the proposed installation.
BEHIND THE PANELClearance, tracks and a properly balanced door.
MAKE THE SPACE WORK
One double door.
Or two single doors?
Not every two-car garage needs the same layout. The existing structure, convenience and preferred appearance all influence the decision.
Discuss your openingOne double sectional door
A clean, uninterrupted elevation with one wide opening. Consider sufficient lintel support, suitable spring balance, overhead track clearance and a motor matched to the complete door.
Two single sectional doors
Separate doors can allow one bay to open without opening the other. They require a central structural pier and two independent door systems, and may suit some existing garage designs better.
Already have a centre pillar?
Ask us about what can work with your existing opening before planning structural alterations. We assess door options; a qualified building professional should advise on structural changes.
DOUBLE DOOR INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
From a wide opening
to a smooth arrival.
A double sectional door is more than a large panel. A reliable installation considers the opening structure, door weight, hardware balance and the right automation from the outset.
Confirm the opening
Measure the double opening and review headroom, side clearances, internal depth, lintel and mounting surfaces.
Specify panel & colour
Choose a panel profile and coated-steel finish, with the door construction and any reinforcement confirmed in the quotation.
Install & balance
Fit tracks, hinges, rollers, cables and correct springs. Check the whole door travels freely and remains balanced.
Match the automation
Select an opener suitable for the larger door, with manual release and appropriate safety features explained.
Before accepting a quotation
Request a clear quote Ask whether the quote includes measurement, removal of the previous door, new tracks and springs, finishes, weather seals, balancing, motor, safety accessories and any structural preparation. Confirm these before approving the job.
A GOOD REPAIR BEGINS WITH THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS
DOUBLE STEEL / MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
When a wide door stops
moving the way it should.
A double door that drops on one side, scrapes along the tracks, feels heavy or refuses to close may have a counterbalance, cable, track, hinge or opener problem. The source should be identified before deciding on panel replacement or a motor repair.

↗If a cable is loose, the door is crooked or a spring appears broken, stop operating the door and arrange an inspection.
AUTOMATION / CONVENIENCE
The right motor for
the whole opening.
A wide double sectional door can be automated, but the opener must suit the door’s balance, size, hardware, use frequency and site conditions. A heavier door should never be forced to operate with an under-specified motor or faulty springs.

OPENER & AUTOMATION SYSTEMQUESTIONS / ANSWERED
The bigger questions.
Answered simply.
Useful answers when planning, repairing or automating a two-car steel sectional opening.
Ask our team ↗What size is a typical double steel garage door?
Double sectional garage doors are commonly discussed for openings around 4,880–5,000 mm wide and about 2,130–2,200 mm high. Manufacturer sizes vary. The exact finished opening and headroom, side room and internal depth must be checked before ordering.
Can I choose different panel patterns and colours?
The original page shows horizontal, horizontal broad, 20-panel, 40-panel, brick and Tuscan reference styles in brown, charcoal, white and woodlook. Actual panel specification and current finishes need confirmation.
Is one double door better than two single doors?
It depends on the existing structure and how you use the garage. One wide door provides a continuous opening; two singles allow independent operation but need a central pillar and separate door systems.
Can my double steel sectional garage door be automated?
Often yes, if the door and its counterbalance mechanism are in good condition. Motor choice depends on the door size, balance, expected use, safety requirements and available mounting space.
Can a damaged double steel garage door panel be repaired?
In some cases. Matching panel profile, finish, construction and availability determine whether replacing one or more panels is practical. Impact damage may also affect tracks and hinges.
