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 are available in Dover?
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.

What rules apply in Dover?
If your property in Dover is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, the local district or borough council is the authority to check with before ordering.

Questions from Dover customers
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.
Do you cover Dover?
Yes. We cover Dover, including postcode districts CT14, CT16, CT17. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
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. If in doubt, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
Do you also cover towns near Dover?
Yes. Close to Dover we also cover Folkestone (7 mi), Deal (8 mi), Canterbury (15 mi) and Ramsgate (15 mi).
