Covering Lurgan and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the BT66 postcode district for access control for automatic doors. There is no depot or showroom in Lurgan; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Independent businesses in Lurgan often have one entrance and cannot close for long. Work is usually scheduled early, late or on a quiet day, and where a door must be out of use for a period, we plan to keep the entrance usable or secure.
Nearby towns we also list for access control for automatic doors (straight-line distance): Craigavon (2.5 miles), Portadown (5.4 miles), Banbridge (8.3 miles), Lisburn (12.6 miles), Armagh (15.6 miles), Dungannon (17.6 miles).
What to think about for access control for automatic doors in Lurgan
- Think about lost cards and leavers. A system that lets you remove a card centrally is easier to run than a shared keypad code on a busy site.
- Residential blocks in Lurgan usually have a managing agent or housing provider who sets the rules for fobs, visitors and fire alarm behaviour. Involve them early.
- Decide how the door should behave at each time of day before the survey. Opening hours, cleaning shifts, deliveries and weekend events all affect the schedule the door will follow.
- Older automatic doors in Lurgan may not have inputs for access control. The survey checks this, and an older operator may need upgrading or replacing before readers can be linked.
- If you already have an access control system, find out who installed and maintains it. Linking an automatic door is simpler when your security installer is part of the plan.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, disability access duties come from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, because the Equality Act 2010 does not apply there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances. Fitting an automatic door helps, but does not on its own guarantee those duties are met.
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access to buildings is in Technical Booklet R, and building control approval is needed for new entrances.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Lurgan and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on access control for automatic doors separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.

Access control for automatic doors in Lurgan: questions
Can you service the door and access control in Lurgan together?
We can service the door and test the link to the access control on each visit, leaving a written record. Visits are chargeable and priced in writing before anyone attends. If your security installer looks after the system, we can coordinate visits with them.
How are prices worked out for access control for automatic doors in Lurgan?
Our guide starts from £795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Lurgan confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Our automatic door in Lurgan is quite old. Can access control still be added?
Sometimes. Older operators may not have suitable inputs, or may not support an electric lock. The survey checks this, and if the operator needs upgrading first, the quote shows the cost of both, so you can decide. An older door may also benefit from a safety inspection at the same time.
How long does installation take at our building in Lurgan?
Lead time is typically 2 to 4 weeks from order. Most single doors are wired and commissioned in a day, though longer cable runs or several doors take more time. We agree working hours with you so the entrance stays usable.
What happens once the installation in Lurgan is finished?
The engineer tests every function, including the safety sensors and the behaviour on power loss, and sets the door up with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown how to use the controls and which simple checks to make, and you receive the handover documents, including the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Lurgan?
Most installations take one visit or a short series of visits, with dust and noise kept to the area around the door. The engineer screens off the work area, keeps a route in or out where possible and clears up before leaving. Larger entrances, lobbies or structural changes take longer, and the quote explains how that work is phased.
What do the building regulations in Northern Ireland say about powered doors?
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access is in Technical Booklet R, and new entrances need building control approval.
