Key questions about sectional doors with a pass door in Chester-le-Street
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.

Questions from Chester-le-Street customers
How much does a pass door add?
A sectional door with an integrated pass door is typically from £3,995 supplied and fitted, as it is a specialist build.

Not usually. The pass door is built into the door at the factory, so it is ordered with a new door.

If in doubt, ask Durham County Council before ordering.
