What to think about for access control for automatic doors in Moray
- A video entry system needs a network or cable link between the door and wherever visitors are answered. Check the route before the survey, especially across car parks or between buildings.
- Older automatic doors in Moray 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Standards and rules in Scotland
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers in Scotland 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.
Scottish building standards guidance (the non-domestic Technical Handbook) expects an accessible entrance door to give a clear opening of at least 800 mm, says powered doors improve accessibility as long as they add no new hazard, and expects signage, sensors that hold the door open long enough, and guarding against collision or entrapment.
Whoever motorises a manual door, or builds an automatic door from separate parts, may take on the manufacturer’s legal duties for the finished door: a risk assessment, a technical file kept available for the authorities, a Declaration of Conformity, the conformity marking and instructions. You receive the Declaration of Conformity and the instructions at handover. In Great Britain a new or converted powered door must meet the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 before it is first used, and can carry the UKCA or the CE marking.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Moray 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 Moray: questions
Will our door in Moray still release when the fire alarm sounds?
On an escape route, yes. Locks are wired to release on the fire alarm signal and, where the fire strategy requires it, the door opens and holds open. We test this with your fire alarm contractor at handover and record the result.
How much should I budget for access control for automatic doors in Moray?
Our guide starts from £795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Moray 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 Moray?
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 our door in Moray 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.
What should I send before the survey in Moray?
A few photos of the door from inside and outside, rough measurements of the opening, the address and a note of how the entrance is used. If the door already has an operator, a photo of any label on it helps. With that, the engineer arrives prepared, the survey takes less of your time and we can put the quote for access control for automatic doors together more easily.
What does the free site survey in Moray involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for access control for automatic doors, with drawings where the door type needs them.
Do businesses in Moray have to fit automatic doors?
No law requires automatic doors everywhere. Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and Scottish guidance says powered doors improve accessibility at entrances. An automatic door is often the practical answer.
