Sectional garage doors with a pass door: what matters for Reading garages
Why choose a pass door?
Opening a whole garage door to grab a bike or bin lets out heat and takes time. A pass door gives quick, everyday access and keeps the main door shut.
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.
Which options are available in Reading?
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
What will a sectional door with a pass door cost in Reading?
Guide price: from £3,995 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
Planning and regulations for Reading homes
The planning authority for Reading is Reading Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Reading 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.
Which parts of Reading do you cover?
We cover Reading across postcode districts RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6, RG30, along with nearby Earley, Wokingham and Crowthorne. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Reading 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 Reading Council before ordering.
