Sectional garage doors with a pass door in the Highlands and Islands
Our sectional door with a pass door service covers the Highlands and Islands: Inverness, Stornoway, Fort William and Nairn, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey. Many places here are covered by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on your quote.
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 the Highlands and Islands?
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in the Highlands and Islands?
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.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in the Highlands and Islands?
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 the Highlands and Islands include Argyll and Bute Council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Highland Council, Orkney Islands Council and Shetland Islands Council.

Questions about sectional garage doors with a pass door in the Highlands and Islands
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.
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.
Which towns in the Highlands and Islands do you cover?

Do I need planning permission in the Highlands and Islands?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
