What should Consett homeowners know about sectional doors with a pass door?
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.
Which options are available in Consett?
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
