Sectional garage doors with a pass door in South Glamorgan
Our sectional door with a pass door service covers South Glamorgan: Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
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 South Glamorgan?
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in South Glamorgan?
Guide price: from £3,995 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.

What rules apply in South Glamorgan?
In Wales, replacing a garage door with one of similar appearance is normally treated as minor work that does not need planning permission. Listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and any planning conditions on your property can change that, so check with your local planning authority first if any of these apply.
Planning authorities in South Glamorgan include Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council.
