Commercial
Commercial and automatic doors
Entrance doors that take everything a busy building can throw at them: heavy footfall, deliveries, weather and the school run.
Commercial
Built for footfall
A commercial door may open hundreds of times a day. It needs heavy-duty hinges or pivots, a closer matched to its weight, glass that is safe if it breaks, and hardware that still works smoothly years later. Ours are fabricated from robust aluminium door sections with exactly that in mind.
Where easy access matters, automatic doors open on approach or at the push of a button and close gently behind, which helps customers with pushchairs, wheelchairs and full hands, and keeps heat in the building.
Swing, sliding or automatic
Single and double doors configured to suit the entrance.
Easy access
Automatic operators, level thresholds and low opening forces.
Secure out of hours
Multi-point or hook locks, with access control where needed.
Safe by design
Safety glazing, finger guards and escape hardware.
The right door for the building
A shop wants a welcoming, well-lit entrance. A school needs anti-finger-trap stiles and controlled access. A surgery needs wide, automatic doors and privacy glazing. An office wants a lobby that keeps draughts out. We specify the door, the closer, the lock and the ironmongery for the way the building is used.
Fire exit and escape doors are fitted with the appropriate panic or emergency exit hardware, and we will tell you plainly where a specialist fire door is required instead.

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
Do automatic doors need servicing?
Yes. Powered pedestrian doors should be inspected and serviced regularly by a competent person, in line with BS EN 16005 and the manufacturer's guidance. We can advise on a suitable schedule at handover.
Can you replace just the door and keep the existing frame?
Sometimes. It depends on the condition and the make of the existing framing. We will inspect it and give you an honest view on whether a like-for-like door or a new screen is the better investment.
Can commercial doors be made to match our shopfront?
Yes. Doors, screens and curtain walling can all be finished in the same RAL colour and glazed to match.
