What to think about for access control for automatic doors in Pembroke Dock
- Glass entrances may not have an obvious place for a reader. A post-mounted reader, or one fitted to a side screen, can avoid drilling into the door frame.
- Older automatic doors in Pembroke Dock 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.
- Healthcare sites in Pembroke Dock often control access to wards and staff areas. Think about how visitors, porters and emergency teams will get through at every hour.
- Schools in Pembroke Dock 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.
- 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
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for access control for automatic doors and book a survey in Pembroke Dock.
- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.

Access control for automatic doors in Pembroke Dock: questions
How long does installation take at our building in Pembroke Dock?
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 will access control for automatic doors in Pembroke Dock cost?
Our guide starts from £795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Pembroke Dock confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you work with our security installer in Pembroke Dock?
Yes. Where a security installer already looks after your access control, we usually handle the door, the lock and the link to the operator, and they handle the reader, controller and permissions. The quote sets out who does what so nothing falls between the two.
Can you service the door and access control in Pembroke Dock 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.
Will the building stay secure while the entrance is being changed?
We plan to keep the entrance usable or secure throughout. Where a door has to come out, the work is sequenced so the opening is closed up before the engineer leaves, or a temporary door or hoarding is arranged when a longer gap cannot be avoided. How this is handled for your site in Pembroke Dock is agreed before work starts.
What does the written quote for access control for automatic doors in Pembroke Dock include?
The quote lists each item separately: the door or equipment, installation, electrical connections where we provide them, removal of anything being replaced, testing and handover. It is a fixed price for the work described, so it does not change unless the scope changes, and any change is agreed with you in writing first.
Do businesses in Pembroke Dock 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.
