Doors we look after

Sliding, swing, communal or domestic. We look after all of them.

Four kinds of powered pedestrian door, one set of duties. Whatever is above the opening, it has to open when someone approaches, close without hurting them, and let people out when the power goes.

Sliding doors

The workhorse of the high street, and the door most often found running outside its force limits. Single leaf, pairs, and units on escape routes that have to break out and stay open.

Swing door operators

Low-energy or full-power, with push pads, radar and safety sensors. The type most often retrofitted to a door that is already hanging, and the type most often set up wrong.

Communal door sets

Shared front doors, lobby doors and internal cross-corridor sets. Fire door duties, access control and a powered opener all meeting on one leaf, which is why they need testing as one system rather than three.

Swing doors at home

Powered swing openers on front, internal and communal door sets for people who need them, often funded through local authority adaptations. Swing doors are all a home needs, and all we fit there.

The same duties, whatever the type

One standard across all four.

A powered door is a machine, and the duties that come with that do not change because the leaf slides instead of swings. Detection distance, closing force, the gaps around the leaf and what happens when the power fails: those get measured on every type, and the readings go in the report.

Send a photograph of the door and the header with your postcode. We can usually identify the operator and quote before we visit.
