Fitting a new garage door

[cdh]

Thinking of buying a sectional garage door and have been told that I need to fix a timber frame to the steel frame that is supplied with the garage door (meaning between brick wall and supplied steel frame).

This will make the width of the overall frame to be 5" either side (3" steel frame & 2"x3" timber frame).

Can I do without the timber and fit the steel frame directly to the brick wall?
