Choosing a sectional door with a pass door for a home in Shirley
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.
Which options are available in Shirley?
- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.
- Safety interlockStops the door running when the pass door is open.
- Hinge sideLeft or right hand.

Questions from Shirley 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 Shirley?
Yes. We cover Shirley, including postcode districts B14, B27, B28, B90, B91, B92. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Solihull 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 Solihull Council before ordering.
