Sectional garage doors with a pass door in the West Midlands
Our sectional door with a pass door service covers the West Midlands: Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Dudley, 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 the West Midlands?
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.
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?
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
How much does a sectional door with a pass door cost in the West Midlands?
Guide price: from £3,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in the West Midlands?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in the West Midlands include Birmingham City Council, City of Wolverhampton Council, Coventry City Council, Dudley Council, Sandwell Council, Solihull Council and Walsall Council.

How much does a pass door add?
A sectional door with an integrated pass door is typically from £3,995 supplied and fitted, as it is a specialist build.
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 I need planning permission in the West Midlands?

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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
