Sectional garage doors with a pass door in County Down
Our sectional door with a pass door service covers County Down: Bangor (County Down), Newtownards, Newry and Banbridge, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A sectional garage door with a pass door has a small hinged pedestrian door, often called a wicket door, built into its panels, so you can walk in and out without raising the whole door. It suits garages with no separate side door and wide doors that are slow or wasteful to open just to fetch something.

What should you know about sectional doors with a pass door in County Down?
Are there threshold limits?
A pass door sits within the bottom section, so there is a threshold to step over. Some ranges offer low-threshold designs that are easier to use, but it is never as level as a separate side door.
Is a separate side door better?
If there is space for a side door, it is usually easier to use and keeps the main door simpler. Where there is not, a pass door is the neat answer.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in County Down?
Guide price: from £3,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in County Down?
In Northern Ireland, fitting a new door within an existing opening generally does not need planning permission. If the property is listed, in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction, check with your council planning office before ordering, as consent may be needed for changes to the outside of the building.
Planning authorities in County Down include Ards and North Down Borough Council, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council.
Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.

Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.
How much does a pass door add?
