Choosing a sectional door with a pass door for a home in Bedford
Can every door have one?
Pass doors are only offered on certain ranges, widths and designs, and the door must be wide enough to accommodate the pass door with sections either side.
Does it affect the operator?
Yes. The operator is linked to a safety switch so the main door cannot move while the pass door is open.

Planning and regulations for Bedford homes
The planning authority for Bedford is Bedford Borough Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Questions from Bedford customers
Can a pass door be added to my existing sectional door?
Not usually. The pass door is built into the door at the factory, so it is ordered with a new door.
Is there a step to get through a pass door?
Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.
Do you cover Bedford?
Yes. We cover Bedford, including postcode districts MK40, MK41, MK42. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Bedford Borough Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, ask Bedford Borough Council before ordering.
