What to think about for access control for automatic doors in Weybridge
- 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.
- 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.
- Offices on business parks in Weybridge often share entrances between tenants. Agree whose system controls the door, who pays for it and who can add or remove cards.
- Residential blocks in Weybridge usually have a managing agent or housing provider who sets the rules for fobs, visitors and fire alarm behaviour. Involve them early.
- Healthcare sites in Weybridge often control access to wards and staff areas. Think about how visitors, porters and emergency teams will get through at every hour.

Standards and rules in England
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers 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.
Building regulations guidance in England (Approved Document M, Volume 2) says a powered opening system should be used where a self-closing entrance door would need more than 30 N at the leading edge to open, or more than 22.5 N between 30° and 60°, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
How it works
- Get in touch. Call, email or use the form with the address and what you have in mind. If you are not sure which type of door suits, describe the entrance and we will suggest the options worth considering.
- Survey and advice. The survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer checks the site and explains which options suit the entrance, the people using it and the budget, before anything is priced.
- Quote in writing. You receive a fixed, itemised quote for access control for automatic doors in Weybridge, covering equipment, installation, testing and handover, with the lead time and payment stages set out clearly.
- Install, test, explain. The engineer installs and commissions the door, tests the sensors, safety functions and emergency behaviour, and walks you through the controls. The handover pack records what was installed and tested.
Tell us how your door in Weybridge should behave by day and by night, and we will arrange a free survey and a fixed quote.
Access control for automatic doors in Weybridge: questions
Can you service the door and access control in Weybridge 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 much should I budget for access control for automatic doors in Weybridge?
Our guide starts from £795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Weybridge confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How long does installation take at our building in Weybridge?
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.
Do you work with our security installer in Weybridge?
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.
What happens once the installation in Weybridge 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.
Do you service doors in Weybridge after installing them?
Yes. We recommend a trained engineer checks the safety functions at least once a year, with service intervals set by the manufacturer's instructions and how heavily the door is used; busy doors are often serviced more often. Servicing can follow on from the installation, with the price agreed in writing and a record left after every visit.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Weybridge?
In England the guidance is Approved Document M (Volume 2) for access, Approved Document B for fire safety and escape routes, and Approved Document K for glazing and powered doors. A new entrance can count as building work, so building control should be involved before it is ordered.
