Automatic Doors
Sliding, swing and revolving automatic doors compliant with BS EN 16005.
What's included
Every automatic doors project we facilitate is delivered by a vetted specialist with appropriate trade accreditations, insurance and references. The process is straightforward:
- Tell us about the property. Submit a quick brief — location, property type, dimensions if known.
- Free site survey. A specialist contacts you to arrange a no-obligation site visit.
- Quote & specification. You receive a detailed quote covering materials, finish, installation and aftercare.
- Installation. Professionally installed to industry standards, with warranty and servicing options.
Why specialist installation matters
Automatic Doors sit at the boundary between security, weather-tightness and kerb appeal. Cutting corners on specification or installation tends to surface within twelve months — through misalignment, motor failure, water ingress or rapid corrosion. The specialists in our network are selected for the quality of their long-term work, not the speed of their quotes.
Typical applications
- Retail premises and high-street shops
- Restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Listed buildings and conservation areas (where applicable)
Costs & pricing
Automatic Doors pricing varies significantly with size, specification, finish and access complexity. For typical commercial premises, you can expect a quote that itemises materials, fabrication, installation, warranty period and any optional aftercare. For a detailed breakdown of typical price ranges across different specifications, see our shopfronts cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are automatic doors a legal requirement?
Not directly, but the Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments for disabled access. For most commercial premises, automatic or manually-easy doors are part of meeting that obligation.
What's BS EN 16005?
It's the UK/European safety standard for powered pedestrian doors. All compliant automatic doors must have sensors detecting people in the door path, emergency manual release, and regular safety inspection.
How often do they need servicing?
BS EN 16005 requires servicing at intervals based on use — typically every 6 months for high-traffic retail, annually for low-use offices. Servicing is also required for insurance and warranty validity.
Can existing doors be motorised?
In some cases yes — particularly for swing doors. Sliding conversions are more complex and often new installation is more economical.
