Sectional garage doors with a pass door in Merseyside
Looking for a sectional door with a pass door in Merseyside? We cover Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens and Southport and the rest of the area, measuring, supplying and fitting each door.
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 Merseyside?
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.
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 can you choose?
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in Merseyside?

What rules apply in Merseyside?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Merseyside include Knowsley Council, Liverpool City Council, Sefton Council, St Helens Council and Wirral Council.

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.
Is there a step to get through a pass door?
Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.
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.
Which towns in Merseyside do you cover?
We cover Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport, Wallasey, Bootle, Bebington and Huyton and other towns across Merseyside.
Do I need planning permission in Merseyside?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
