Common questions
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.
