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.
The West Lothian sites we fit this on are rarely starting from nothing. There is normally something already on the door, working badly or not at all, and the first real question is whether it is worth keeping.
Where it gets used across West Lothian
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
- 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
Specifying it 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
How the job runs
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. Free site survey, fixed written quotation, and no work starts until you have approved the price.
Once it is in, we test it door by door, prove the fire release with the alarm panel, enrol your users and hand over the records. Maintenance, if you want it, is a separate and optional arrangement.

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