Request a Site Survey 01698 59819307488 899411 ADSA accredited · 25+ years' commercial experience · Same-day Central Belt response for contract clients. 25+ Years on commercial sites ADSA Accredited installer BS 7036 Safety compliant 24/7 Contract response 100% Directly-employed engineers Overview ## What we do, who it's for, and why it matters. ### What it is Automatic doors are powered entrance systems that open and close on detection — typically sliding, swing, telescopic or revolving — used wherever foot traffic, accessibility or hygiene demand a hands-free entrance. We design, install, certify and maintain the full range of automatic door systems for commercial, retail, healthcare, public-sector and industrial premises across Glasgow and the Central Belt. ### Who it's for Our typical clients are facilities managers, retail estate teams, main contractors, healthcare estates departments, hoteliers and public-sector buildings managers — anyone responsible for an entrance that must remain compliant, secure and operational during trading hours. ### When you need it You need a specialist when you are fitting out a new commercial entrance, replacing an end-of-life door operator, upgrading for accessibility (Equality Act 2010), responding to a failed safety sensor, or inheriting a building with no service history. Any door used by the public must be compliant — and only an accredited installer can certify that. ### Why a specialist matters Automatic doors are the single highest-traffic moving asset in most buildings. A poorly specified or maintained system creates safety, insurance and trading risk: trapped users, failed fire compartmentation, void warranties, or worse. ADSA-accredited engineers specify the right operator for the door weight and traffic profile, install to manufacturer tolerance, and certify to BS 7036 and BS EN 16005. The Cost of Inaction ## What happens when the problem is left. An automatic door that 'mostly works' is not safe — it is a latent failure. The cost of ignoring small symptoms is rarely the door itself; it is the trading day lost, the insurance claim, or the compliance failure on a fire inspection. ### Safety incidents and injury claims Worn safety sensors, drifting timing or contaminated tracks lead to trap injuries. An incident on a non-compliant door becomes the operator's liability, not the manufacturer's. ### Lost trading hours A door propped open in winter destroys HVAC efficiency; a door that won't close at all means a member of staff guarding the entrance instead of trading. ### Insurance and compliance exposure Public-facing doors without current BS 7036 / EN 16005 inspection records can invalidate public liability cover and fail building compliance audits. ### Cascading mechanical damage Ignored noises, sticking, or shudder almost always escalate — bearings, belts and operator boards fail in sequence, turning a £180 service into a £1,800 replacement. ### Common mistakes we're called in to correct Booking a general handyman or shopfitter for safety-critical door works. - Skipping the legally-recommended six-monthly safety inspection on public-use doors. - Replacing 'like-for-like' on an operator that was originally under-specified for the door weight. - Accepting a quote without on-site survey — automatic doors are never a catalogue purchase. - Allowing untrained staff to clear sensor faults by overriding safety modes. Our Process ## A disciplined five-step delivery — survey to certification. 01 ### On-Site Survey We attend, measure the opening, weigh the leaf, profile your traffic and assess existing wiring, fire strategy and accessibility requirements. 02 ### Engineered Specification We specify the operator, sensors, breakout, manual override and back-up battery to suit your door weight, cycle count and compliance obligations — never a default catalogue option. 03 ### Installation Our directly-employed engineers install to manufacturer tolerance, typically out-of-hours so your premises continue trading without interruption. 04 ### Commissioning & Certification We commission the safety system to BS 7036 / EN 16005, conduct activation, presence and force testing, and issue full handover certification. 05 ### Aftercare & Servicing You receive a planned six-monthly service schedule, priority response cover and a single point of contact for the life of the door. Benefits ## What you get — concrete, not generic. ### Speed of response Same-day Central Belt attendance for contract clients — your entrance does not wait days for diagnosis. ### Verified safety Every install commissioned and certified to BS 7036 / EN 16005, with documentation suitable for insurer audits. ### Asset longevity Correctly specified operators routinely deliver 1.5 million+ cycles — proper specification is the single largest determinant of lifespan. ### Lower total cost Planned maintenance contracts typically cost 30–50% less over five years than reactive call-outs and premature replacement. ### Compliance off your desk We hold and manage the inspection records — your facilities team is not chasing paperwork before audits. ### One accountable specialist Single accredited contractor for survey, install, certification and service — no finger-pointing between trades.
