What to think about for access control for automatic doors in Haverfordwest
- 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.
- Schools in Haverfordwest often want a remote release at the office and a schedule for drop-off and pick-up times. Agree how the door behaves in a lockdown with your safeguarding lead.
- Healthcare sites in Haverfordwest often control access to wards and staff areas. Think about how visitors, porters and emergency teams will get through at every hour.
- Cable routes matter. Running cables between a reader, a controller and the operator through finished walls and ceilings can be a large share of the cost.
- 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.

Standards and rules in Wales
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers in Wales must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. Fitting an automatic door helps, but does not on its own guarantee those duties are met.
Wales has its own building regulations guidance. Approved Document M (Wales) uses a lower opening-force limit than England, 20 N at the leading edge, before a powered door is called for, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Haverfordwest 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.
Book a free survey of your entrance in Haverfordwest, and we will check the operator, the lock and your existing system before quoting.
Access control for automatic doors in Haverfordwest: questions
Can our door in Haverfordwest run on a schedule?
Yes. The door can open freely during opening hours and switch to card or code entry with the lock engaged at night, at weekends and on holiday dates. Staff can override the schedule with a key switch if they need to.
How are prices worked out for access control for automatic doors in Haverfordwest?
Our guide starts from £795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Haverfordwest confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you fit fob entry to a residential block in Haverfordwest?
Yes. We can fit fob readers and video entry to an automatic communal door, set up so residents use fobs and visitors call the flat. Fire alarm and power-loss behaviour are agreed with the managing agent or housing provider before we commission the door.
Can you add access control to our automatic door in Haverfordwest?
In most cases, yes. We check the operator's inputs, the lock options and the cable route at a free survey, then quote a fixed price. We can connect to your existing system or supply a standalone reader or keypad for the door.
What is the lead time for access control for automatic doors in Haverfordwest?
Lead times depend on the door type and what has to be made to order. As a guide, operators and accessible door kits are typically two to four weeks from order, and complete sliding entrances typically four to eight weeks from drawing approval. Curved, revolving and hermetic doors usually take longer. The expected lead time is stated in your quote.
Can installation in Haverfordwest happen outside opening hours?
Yes. Many shops, surgeries and offices prefer work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, when the entrance is quietest. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and they are built into the plan. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the written quote rather than added afterwards.
Do businesses in Haverfordwest have to fit automatic doors?
There is no blanket requirement. Service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people under the Equality Act 2010, and Welsh building regulations guidance expects entrances that are easy to open. An automatic door is a common way to meet both.
