Sectional garage doors with a pass door: what matters for Portishead garages

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.
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.

Questions from Portishead 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.
Which parts of Portishead do you cover?
We cover Portishead across postcode districts BS20, along with nearby Nailsea, Clevedon and Keynsham. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will North Somerset 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 North Somerset Council before ordering.
