Side sectional garage doors: what matters for Lerwick garages
Can you use it as a pedestrian door?
Yes. Because the door slides sideways, you can open it just far enough to walk through, which saves having a separate side door.
How much side room is needed?
The door parks along one side wall, so that wall needs to be clear for roughly the width of the door, plus a small amount of side room on the other jamb. Shelving, windows or a side door on the parking wall can rule it out, which is why we look at the whole garage at survey.
What can you choose for your Lerwick garage?
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.

Planning and regulations for Lerwick homes
If your property in Lerwick is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Shetland Islands Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.
