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 Kent 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 Kent applications
Receptions, surgeries, care homes, retail entrances and any building with accessibility obligations.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- 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.
Scope of works
- 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
- Sliding and telescopic automatic door sets
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
We look at the doors before we price them. That means measuring cable runs properly, checking whether the frame will take a maglock, and confirming with your fire documentation which openings must fail safe. The quotation that follows is fixed. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
Commissioning is part of the job, not an extra visit. You finish with a working system, a tested fire interface, and a named person on your team who knows how to administer it.

Automatic Door Operators in Kent — questions
Do you install automatic door operators in Kent?
Yes. Kent 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 Kent?
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.
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.
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.
