Choosing a sectional door with a pass door for a home in Washington
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.
What can you choose for your Washington garage?
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.

What rules apply in Washington?
The planning authority for Washington is Sunderland City Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Washington 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 Washington?
Yes. We cover Washington, including postcode districts NE37, NE38. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Washington?
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, check with Sunderland City Council.
