Matching garage side doors in the Scottish Borders
Our matching side door service covers the Scottish Borders: Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A matching garage side door is a pedestrian door made in the same panel design and colour as your sectional garage door, fitted to a separate opening in the side or back of the garage. It gives everyday access to the garage and the garden with a finish that matches the main door.

What should you know about matching side doors in the Scottish Borders?
How secure is it?
Most matching side doors are steel with multi-point or robust locking. The specification is shown on your quote.
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.
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?
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
How much does a matching side door cost in the Scottish Borders?
Guide price: £995–£1,895 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in the Scottish Borders?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in the Scottish Borders include Scottish Borders Council.
