Compliant with the Equality Act 2010 and the European Standard BS EN 16005 for the safety in use of power-operated pedestrian doorsets; swing door operators can be combined with new doors or retro fitted to existing manual swing doors. An efficient and economical way to promote easy access, installations range from healthcare and education to retirement properties and public buildings.
Most manual swing doors (hinged doors that are pushed or pulled to open) can be adapted with automatic swing door operators – options include full power, low energy or assisted power operation. Usually fixed above the door, a fixed swing arm will push or pull the door leaf for automatic opening and closure. Using minimal power to function, this can help reduce energy and keep heat loss to a minimum.
Simple low energy doors open so gently that they don’t require any sensors; fully automatic swing doors are designed in full accordance with stringent BS EN 16005 safety standards.

Typically, automatic doors are activated by sensors that detect personnel and objects within an adjustable range (automatic opening).
Alternatively, if you would prefer intentionally activated automatic opening, i.e. requiring action by the user, there are a variety of operations including push pads, access control systems, or Touch Free switches. These contactless sensors operate with a hand motion, allowing the door to open automatically in a controlled, intentional way.

To protect your investment and ensure your building remains safe, secure and fully compliant, Automatic Access offers pre-planned service and maintenance, as well as an emergency callout service.
Regular checks and maintenance must be documented and completed by a qualified engineer to ensure safe operation and meet Workplace Health & Safety Machinery
regulations. Powered automatic doors require at least one recorded service annually to ensure compliance with EN 16005.
Most types of manual swing door (hinged doors that are pushed or pulled to open), are suitable for use with automatic swing door operators, allowing existing doors to be easily upgraded to provide automatic opening and closing that is reliable and easy to use.
Automatic Swing door operators are usually fixed above the door and use a swing arm fixed to the door leaf to push or pull the door for automatic opening and closure.
Our automatic swing door range includes options for full power, low energy or assisted power operation.
Automatic Doors use minimal power to function and can help reduce energy and heat loss by ensuring your door is only opened when required and always returned to its fully closed position.
Our experience in maintaining door systems enables us to only select products that are reliable and built to last, maximising your investment from a longevity and cost perspective.
There are various fire and smoke control options for automatic doors. Swing doors can be connected to the fire alarm and opened on activation.
Automatic swing door systems without a battery backup can be pulled or pushed open in an emergency in the event of power failure. However, here at Automatic Access, we also have a battery backup for swing doors as an added feature if required.
A swing unit, otherwise known as an inverse operator, will remain closed for smoke control. Our “Dependable” model is fire-rated and reliably closes to prevent the spread of fire. It can be combined with a range of fire protection profile systems and used wherever automatic fire and smoke protection barrier doors are beneficial.
Recommended for smoke clearance and room ventilation in the event of a fire, the “Safe” model opens without power, using spring tension.
