- Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.

- All makes installed, repaired and maintained
Automatic Door Operators explained
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.
Across East Sussex the trigger is usually the same: a credential has gone missing and nobody can say where. Once that happens with a mechanical key, the only honest fix is changing locks and reissuing to everyone. Electronic credentials remove that problem entirely.
Where it gets used across East Sussex
Receptions, surgeries, care homes, retail entrances and any building with accessibility obligations.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
- Gated and yard sites — gate intercoms, long-range readers, barriers and ANPR for permit holders.
- Retrofit and repair — fault-finding on all common makes, with honest repair-versus-replace numbers.
- Schools and nurseries — controlled single points of entry, visitor management and safeguarding-aware layouts.
What you actually get
- 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
Specifying it well
- 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 the job runs
First a survey, then a written quote per door, then a booked date — in that order, with no pressure between the steps. Most of the cost variation between quotations comes down to cable routing, which is exactly what a survey exists to establish. Written quotation, clear scope, and a commissioning handover that includes the documentation you will be asked for later.
We commission before we leave: every door tested, every release proved with the fire alarm, users enrolled and someone on your side shown how to add and cancel a credential.

Automatic Door Operators in East Sussex — questions
Do you install automatic door operators in East Sussex?
Yes. East Sussex is part of our regular England coverage and automatic door operators is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does automatic door operators cost in East Sussex?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
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.
Can I answer the door entry from my phone?
Yes. App-connected panels forward the call to your mobile with video, so you can see who is there and release the door from anywhere with a signal. The panel-to-handset call still works on its own wiring if broadband drops.
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland through our installation network, with regional engineers rather than one central team. Tell us the postcode when you enquire and we will confirm coverage and realistic attendance times.
Is access control suitable for a block of flats?
It is one of the most common applications. A digital directory panel, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window replace the shared code and the endless label changes. The communal system is usually the freeholder or managing agent's responsibility.
