Key questions about sectional doors with a pass door in Gillingham
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.
Why choose a pass door?
Opening a whole garage door to grab a bike or bin lets out heat and takes time. A pass door gives quick, everyday access and keeps the main door shut.
Which options are available in Gillingham?
- 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 Gillingham?

Do you need permission in Gillingham?
Gillingham falls under Medway Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Gillingham 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 Gillingham?
Yes. We cover Gillingham, including postcode districts ME1, ME2, ME4, ME5, ME7, ME8. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Medway 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 Medway Council before ordering.
