Sectional garage doors with a pass door: what matters for Darlington 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.

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.

Questions from Darlington 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.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Darlington?

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, check with Darlington Council.
