Looking for a sectional door with a pass door in Cumbria? We cover Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal and Whitehaven and the rest of the area, measuring, supplying and fitting each door.
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 Cumbria?
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.
Does it affect the operator?
Yes. The operator is linked to a safety switch so the main door cannot move while the pass door is open.
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 can you choose?
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.

What rules apply in Cumbria?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Cumbria include Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council.
