Sectional garage doors with a pass door: what matters for Paignton garages

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.

Options and upgrades for Paignton homes

  • Lock and handleMatched to the door.
  • Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
  • Hinge sideLeft or right hand.

What will a sectional door with a pass door cost in Paignton?

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 Paignton?

Paignton falls under Torbay Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.
