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.

What should you know about sectional doors with a pass door in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Guide price: from £3,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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 Edinburgh and the Lothians?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Edinburgh and the Lothians include City of Edinburgh Council, East Lothian Council, Midlothian Council and West Lothian Council.
