Sectional garage doors with a pass door in Derbyshire
We supply and fit sectional doors with a pass door across Derbyshire, including Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton and Ilkeston, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every 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 Derbyshire?
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.
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.
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?
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in Derbyshire?
Guide price: from £3,995 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in Derbyshire?
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 in Derbyshire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Derby City Council also cover parts of the area).

Questions about sectional garage doors with a pass door in Derbyshire
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.
Is there a step to get through a pass door?
Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.
Which towns in Derbyshire do you cover?
We cover Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Swadlincote, Staveley, Belper and Heanor and other towns across Derbyshire.
Do I need planning permission in Derbyshire?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
