What automatic door operators is
An automatic operator opens the door for the user. Paired with access control it gives a step-free, hands-free entry that still only admits authorised people.
Who it suits
Receptions, surgeries, care homes, retail entrances and any building with accessibility obligations.
What a proper installation includes
- Swing door operators, low-energy and full-power
- Sliding and telescopic automatic door sets
- Safety sensors, presence detection and force limitation
- Push-pad, wave-to-open and reader-triggered activation
- Interfaced to fire alarm for fail-safe opening or closing as designed
How to choose well
- Low-energy operators are usually sufficient and safer in tight lobbies
- Sensor setup matters as much as the operator itself
- Automatic doors need a documented annual safety check
- Consider a wave sensor rather than a push pad in clinical settings
How we work
We survey first. An engineer looks at the door leaf, the frame, the closer, the cable route and the fire strategy, because those four things decide the hardware far more than any brochure does. You then get a written quotation itemised per door, with the actual hardware named, so you can compare it properly against anyone else's.
On install day the work is done around your occupancy, not against it. Everything is commissioned, the fire interface is tested with the alarm, your users are loaded, and you get the documentation — user list, as-fitted details and the commissioning record — at handover rather than three emails later.
Repairs and aftercare
We service what we install and we service what other people installed. If you already have automatic door operators that is failing, tell us the make and model from the panel and we can usually narrow the fault before an engineer leaves the yard.

Questions about automatic door operators
Do automatic doors need regular servicing?
Yes. Powered doors should be inspected and safety-tested at least annually, and more often on high-traffic entrances. It is a safety requirement as well as a reliability one.
Can an automatic door still be access controlled?
Yes — the reader authorises, then the operator opens. Outside of opening hours the door simply stays shut to anyone without a valid credential.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
Do you work on systems installed by someone else?
Yes. We repair, service and extend all common makes of access control, door entry and intercom, whoever installed them. If a system is genuinely beyond economic repair we will say so and show you the numbers for both options.
Does the door have to unlock when the fire alarm sounds?
On a designated escape route, yes. The locking must fail safe and release on alarm, free mechanical egress must be maintained, and every maglocked escape door needs a green emergency break-glass release. This is a life-safety requirement and we test it with the fire alarm at commissioning.
