As their ability to improve access and convenience has become universally recognised; automatic doors (powered pedestrian doors) are now commonplace across all types of property – civic, retail, offices, healthcare, education, hospitality, passenger transport hubs, and more recently within private residential properties.
The ideal solution to improve access into and within buildings, automatic and power assisted doors remove the barrier that other entry doors can present to people with disabilities or those in more compromising situations – like the elderly, people with pushchairs, etc.
The Equality Act 2010 (replaced the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995) requires employers, colleges, venues and service providers to make ‘reasonable’ adjustments to make buildings accessible for all. Due to their convenience, automatic doors are often installed to help buildings comply with the Equality Act. In addition to ease of access, they provide a contactless means of entry/exit, as part of a hygienic environment.
With vast experience of both automatic door installation and servicing, Automatic Access can advise on the best solutions for you property.
According to Health and Safety legislation, Automatic doors and powered door equipment must be installed and regularly maintained (annually) by a qualified engineer.

All Automatic Access engineers are trained and accredited under the Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA) scheme to ensure your doors, their signage and safety devices conform to UK and European standards.
