What should you know about matching side doors in Lancashire?
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.
How secure is it?
Most matching side doors are steel with multi-point or robust locking. The specification is shown on your quote.
Can it be fitted at the same time?
Yes. Ordering the side door with the garage door keeps the finishes matched and means one visit for fitting.
Which options can you choose?
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.

What rules apply in Lancashire?
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 in Lancashire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Blackburn with Darwen Council and Blackpool Council also cover parts of the area).
