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

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.

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.

Usually not.

If in doubt, ask Durham County Council before ordering.
