Fits 4¾″ clearance
A double-track system tucks the door tight to the ceiling where a standard track simply won't go.
Tight spaces
A beam in the way? Low-headroom tracks fit anyway
Living space above the garage, a low beam, or ductwork in the way? Our low-headroom systems fit a sectional door in as little as 4¾ inches of clearance — and a side-mount opener gets the motor off the ceiling entirely.
Low-headroom tracks
A beam in the way? Low-headroom tracks fit anyway
Updated July 2026
Older Vancouver garages and homes with rooms above the garage often don't have the 12+ inches a standard track wants. The fix is a double-track (low-headroom) system that routes the door tighter to the ceiling without sacrificing smooth operation.

Good questions
Low-headroom tracks — FAQ
How little headroom can you work with?
As little as 4¾ inches above the opening with the right low-headroom kit. We confirm your exact clearance at the free measure.
Will the door still open all the way?
Yes. A properly specced low-headroom system opens fully and smoothly — it just routes the door closer to the ceiling.
Do I need a special opener?
We typically pair low-headroom tracks with a side-mount opener so nothing has to hang from a low ceiling.
