Types of Automatic Doors We Install
Automatic Sliding Doors (EMSL and EMSL-T)
Sliding doors are ideal for a wide range of applications. The Entrematic EMSL and EMSL-T telescopic models offer easy installation, low maintenance, and reliable operation in high, medium, and low traffic environments. These models provide smooth, quiet operation with advanced safety features including motion sensors and obstruction detection.
Automatic Swing Doors (ESMW)
Swing doors from the Entrematic ESMW range deliver paramount safety and convenience for busy entrances. Perfect for spaces where efficiency is essential, these doors offer hands-free access, improved accessibility for wheelchair users, and enhanced energy efficiency by minimising air exchange when closed.
Benefits of Professional Installation
Enhanced Accessibility
Professional installation significantly improves accessibility for all users. Doors provide hands-free entry for wheelchair users, elderly visitors, parents with pushchairs, and anyone carrying heavy items. Meeting DDA disabled access standards, our installations ensure your premises welcomes everyone with ease.

We provide ongoing support throughout the lifetime of your doors. Our maintenance services cover safety checks, adjustment of sensors and settings, lubrication of moving parts, and replacement of worn components to maintain optimal performance.
Installation Costs
The cost varies based on several factors, including the type of door, size of the opening, materials used, and installation complexity. While we provide precise quotes following a site survey, understanding the factors that influence pricing helps you plan your budget effectively.
Factors Affecting Installation Costs:
- Door Type: Sliding and swing doors have different pricing due to their mechanical complexity and components
- Size of Opening: Larger openings require more materials and potentially more powerful operators
- Safety Features: Advanced motion sensors, access control integration, and emergency release systems affect overall costs
- Materials: Premium materials like stainless steel or specialised glass increase costs but offer enhanced durability and aesthetics

Frequently Asked Questions About Automatic Door Installation
How much does automatic door installation cost?
Installation costs vary based on several factors including door type, size, and complexity. Whilst specific pricing depends on your individual requirements, understanding what influences cost helps you budget effectively. Door type (sliding versus swing), opening size, safety features, materials, and site-specific installation challenges all affect the final price. We provide free site surveys followed by detailed, transparent quotes with no obligation, ensuring you understand exactly what you’re paying for and why.
What regulations must automatic doors comply with in the UK?
All installations must meet BS EN 16005 European safety standards, which set requirements for safe operation and emergency functionality. Additionally, the Equality Act 2010 requires doors to meet DDA disabled access standards, ensuring your premises is accessible to all visitors. Our installations comply fully with both standards, and we provide all necessary documentation and certification for your records. With over 30 years in the industry, we stay current with all regulatory requirements.
Which type of automatic door is right for my building?
The best door type depends on your available space, traffic patterns, and operational needs. Sliding doors work excellently for wide entrances and high-traffic environments, offering smooth operation and space efficiency. Swing doors suit areas where a traditional door aesthetic is preferred or where space alongside the opening is limited. During your site survey, your dedicated engineer assesses your specific situation and recommends the optimal solution for your requirements.
How often do automatic doors need servicing?
We recommend servicing every 6 to 12 months for standard usage environments. Busy premises such as retail stores or healthcare facilities may benefit from more frequent servicing every 3 to 6 months. Regular maintenance ensures continued compliance with safety regulations, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and extends your doors’ lifespan. We offer scheduled servicing programmes tailored to your usage levels, with your same engineer handling ongoing maintenance for continuity.
How long does the installation process take?
The timeline varies by project complexity, but most installations complete within 2 to 3 weeks from order confirmation. This includes site survey, solution design, manufacturing, installation, and final testing. We schedule work to minimise disruption to your operations, and your dedicated engineer keeps you informed throughout the entire process. More complex projects involving building modifications or system integration may require additional time.
What power supply do automatic doors require?
Most systems operate on standard mains electricity, typically requiring a 13 amp switched spur located near the door opening. Your engineer assesses power requirements during the site survey and confirms whether your existing electrical infrastructure is suitable or if any modifications are needed. We handle all electrical connections as part of the installation service.
Can automatic doors work with existing access control systems?
Yes, modern doors integrate with a wide range of access control systems including keycard readers, fobs, biometric systems, and building management platforms. We have experience connecting doors to various security systems and can incorporate your existing access control seamlessly. This is discussed during your site survey to ensure the proposed solution meets all your security requirements.
Who should install and maintain automatic doors?
Installation and servicing must be carried out by engineers qualified to BS EN 16005 standards with experience across different door systems. Our team has over 30 years of industry experience and works with all major makes of doors. From your first call, you speak directly with an expert engineer who guides you through every stage, remaining your single point of contact for installation and ongoing maintenance.
What happens if my automatic door breaks down?
We provide ongoing support throughout your doors’ lifetime. If you experience issues, your dedicated engineer is available to diagnose and resolve problems quickly. Regular preventive maintenance significantly reduces breakdown risk, but if issues occur, we respond promptly to minimise disruption. Our experience with all makes of doors means we can service and repair systems regardless of original manufacturer.
