What should Thorne homeowners know about side sectional doors?
Is it electric?
Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.
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.

What rules apply in Thorne?
Thorne falls under Doncaster Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Thorne customers
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
Will a side sectional fit if I have a side door?
It depends where the side door is. The parking wall needs to be clear, so a side door on that wall can stop it fitting.
Do you cover Thorne?
Yes. We cover Thorne, including postcode districts DN7, DN8. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Doncaster 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 Doncaster Council before ordering.
