Automatic Doors

Auto entrances that pass annual safety service every year

About this service

Automatic Doors — installed by specialists, not generalists

Automatic doors are the first thing every customer touches. They're also the single most-frequently-failing piece of kit on most retail premises. The reason isn't usually the doors themselves — it's the install and the service interval.

We fit auto entrances to BS 7036 (the British Standard governing power-operated pedestrian doors), and we offer annual safety service contracts that match what the manufacturer requires for warranty validity. That keeps your insurance happy, your facilities team happy, and your customers safe.
