Sectional garage doors with a pass door: what matters for St Helens garages
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.
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.
Options and upgrades for St Helens homes
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.

Questions from St Helens customers
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.
Do you cover St Helens?
Yes. We cover St Helens, including postcode districts WA9, WA10, WA11. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will St Helens 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 St Helens Council before ordering.
