The short version
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.
What decides this job in Edinburgh is rarely the brand on the reader. It is the door leaf, the frame, the closer and the fire strategy — which is exactly why we survey before putting a number on anything.
Typical Edinburgh applications
Receptions, surgeries, care homes, retail entrances and any building with accessibility obligations.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- 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.
Scope of works
- 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
- Swing door operators, low-energy and full-power
What to insist on
- 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
From first call to handover
Nothing gets priced from a phone call. An engineer walks the doors, notes what is there, works out what has to change, and puts it in writing with the hardware named and the per-door cost shown. We survey, quote in writing, and only then book the install. No estimates over the phone that change on the day.
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 Edinburgh — questions
Do you install automatic door operators in Edinburgh?
Yes. Edinburgh is part of our regular Scotland 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 Edinburgh?
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.
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.
Can lost fobs be cancelled?
Yes, instantly. You delete the credential in the software and it stops working the next time it is presented. There are no locks to change and no cost, which is the main practical reason buildings move from keys to access control.
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.
