A: We are of the belief that this feature will continue to increase in demand. The “pass doors” of old had limitations to them and were often troublesome, difficult and primarily set in commercial establishments. The modern pass door, the "WalkThru Garage Door" is the answer to the increase popularity. Many distributors and manufacturers have seen the need to make this product available to dealers. They insist on providing their dealers with all the tools required to ensure market share in their respective territories. They want their dealers to respond and compete with other dealers of competitive products without tying one hand behind their backs. We recommend that you get involved as soon as possible to maintain dealer confidence and your market share.

A: In all fairness to those dealers, we would hope that you would agree to allow us to continue to service them in the same manner. However, should we be successful in providing our products and services to you as a manufacturer, we will direct all inquiries to your representatives. We have been very successful in obtaining the respect of dealers and manufacturers as we have responded to their inquiries in that manner. We explain to the dealers that we are to be called upon by them as a support team should technical questions need to be answered. However to obtain product directly from Gaudet's Aluminum LTD without passing through your representatives is not proper. Ultimately, the decision will be yours as the manufacturer.

A: Yes. We offer all manufacturers a thorough training demonstration. We offer this service in our facility.

A: Our products are of the highest quality.
The WalkThru is elegant for residential use while being rugged for commercial installations.
The extruded aluminum moldings are pre-finished with a baked on white Duracron. These same moldings are made to accommodate bristle weather-strips that compress against one another when the door is closed to minimize air infiltration and maintaining energy efficiency.
The continuous aluminum piano hinge is predrilled and painted white.
Vertical lift or hi-lift installations are no longer a problem. We carry a flush mount paddle/deadbolt handle. This type of handle needs no extra clearances.
Our methodology is proven to be easier than all other systems in decreasing assembly time allowing increased profitability. Each of our kits includes an Instruction Manual to ensure that the fabricator is successful with the installation.
We make the entire kit available as an all-inclusive product, freeing up valuable time for purchasing departments.
Our WalkThru kits are made specifically to accommodate the intended product. Therefore, there is now need to attempt to fit and make due with some “Universal” product that requires additional fitting and fabrication.

A: Our product is very flexible in size, location and swing directions. Regardless of the overall height of the sectional door, the "WalkThru" will only affect the bottom four panels. The "WalkThru" component can be placed to the left, right or center. The door can swing from the left or right.

A: We are able to accessorize most 1 3/8", 1 1/2",
1 5/8”, 1 3/4", 1 7/8” and 2” thick panels.

A: Your pedestrian traffic patterns from the outside to inside your garage will govern the most appropriate location of the "WalkThru" be it left, right or center.

A: It may be possible to leave the existing hardware, providing the existing door thickness is compatible to the new door. However the springs will have to be re-sized in order to balance the new door properly. We do recommend that the entire assembly be replaced in order to ensure a quality product.

A: Yes. However there are limitations. We can provide some types of window styles in the garage door as well as the "WalkThru".

A: Yes. We can accommodate any size garage door. The opening sizes vary from one area to another. We can accommodate any size.
