Automatic Doors in London
Automatic Doors in London, booked ahead as a planned project.
What we do in London
An automatic entrance makes a London shop, surgery or office easier for everyone, from wheelchair users to people with full shopping bags. We fit sliding doors, swing door operators and gentle low-energy openers.
Whether your entrance is in Brixton, Canary Wharf, Covent Garden and Croydon or elsewhere in London, every door is set to the safety standard for powered doors and you are left with the test record.
London is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in London
For repairs, breakdowns and emergencies in London, a local firm will reach you faster than we can. We are happy to quote new fronts, shutters and doors where you want a team that does the whole job from survey to handover.
Every London borough runs its own planning department, and many publish their own shopfront design guidance. Westminster, Camden, Islington and Hackney are known for detailed rules on fascia depth, stallrisers, shutter types and signage. Expect a solid external shutter to be refused on many high streets; perforated, lattice or internal shutters are the usual compromise.
What you get from us
The same standard on every automatic doors job, whichever town it is in.
Easier for every customer
People with wheelchairs, walking aids, buggies or heavy bags get in without help, which helps you meet your duties under the Equality Act.
Heat stays inside
The door opens only when someone is there and closes straight after, instead of being propped open all day.
Works with doors you already have
A swing operator can often be added to a sound existing door, so you do not need a whole new entrance.
Tested and recorded
We set safety sensors to the standard for powered doors and give you the test record at handover.

From first call to finished job
The steps for a automatic doors job, in the order they happen.
Who uses the door?
We ask how many people come through, who they are and whether the door is on a fire escape route.
Look at the entrance
We measure the opening, check the frame and floor, and find a power supply for the operator.
Choose and price
You get a written recommendation for sliding, swing or low-energy operation, with one fixed price.
Fit and wire
We fit the door or operator, wire it in and connect it to the fire alarm where needed.
Set up and record
Speeds, sensors and hold-open times are set and tested, and you receive the test record.
Automatic door prices
The door type and whether we reuse your existing door make the biggest difference. Typical figures are below.
Prices are before VAT. We confirm the exact figure in writing after the survey.
Questions people ask about automatic doors
For wheelchair access, aim for a clear opening of at least 1000 mm on a busy public entrance. Smaller openings can still be automated, but we will tell you if the width will limit who can use it.
It depends on the door. Some open and stay open, some can be pushed open by hand, and some have battery backup. We choose the behaviour that suits your fire plan and security needs.
At least once a year, and twice for busy public entrances. Regular checks keep the safety sensors working correctly.
Often, yes. If the door, frame and hinges are in good order, we fit a swing operator and sensors to it. If the door is worn or too heavy, we will say so and quote a replacement.
