What should you know about matching side doors in Bedfordshire?
Inward or outward opening?
Side doors can usually be hung to open in or out, left or right hand, to suit paths and the space inside.
Why match the side door?
An old timber side door next to a new sectional door looks tired. A matched side door in the same rib pattern, woodgrain or colour pulls the whole garage together.
Will it fit my existing opening?
Side doors are made to measure or chosen from size ranges. Existing openings vary a lot, so they are measured at survey.
Which options can you choose?
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
How much does a matching side door cost in Bedfordshire?

What rules apply in Bedfordshire?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Bedfordshire include Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council and Luton Council.
