Key questions about sectional doors with a pass door in Stowmarket
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.
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.
Which options are available in Stowmarket?
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.

Questions from Stowmarket 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 Stowmarket?
Yes. We cover Stowmarket, including postcode districts IP14. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough 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 the local district or borough council before ordering.
