Covering Leeds and nearby
We do not keep premises in Leeds. Instead, enquiries about access control for automatic doors come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS4, LS6 and LS13 postcode districts on a date that suits the site.
Large office buildings in Leeds often pair automatic doors with access control, turnstiles and visitor systems. Linking the operator to card readers, intercoms or timers means the entrance opens for staff and visitors at the right times and stays secure out of hours.
Nearby towns we also list for access control for automatic doors (straight-line distance): Rothwell (4.4 miles), Morley (4.4 miles), Pudsey (4.6 miles), Horsforth (4.9 miles), Batley (7.4 miles), Yeadon (7.4 miles).
What to think about for access control for automatic doors in Leeds
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Doors on escape routes need locks that release on alarm and on power loss. Check the fire strategy, or ask your fire risk assessor, before choosing a lock.

Standards and rules in England
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.
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.
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 Leeds, 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 Leeds should behave by day and by night, and we will arrange a free survey and a fixed quote.
Access control for automatic doors in Leeds: questions
Do you work with our security installer in Leeds?
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.
How are prices worked out for access control for automatic doors in Leeds?
Our guide starts from £795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Leeds confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you add access control to our automatic door in Leeds?
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.
Can you service the door and access control in Leeds 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.
Is there a warranty on access control for automatic doors?
Yes. The warranty terms for the equipment and the installation are set out in your written quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you accept. Keeping the door serviced at the recommended intervals helps keep it in good order, and the quote explains any conditions that apply to the warranty.
What is the lead time for access control for automatic doors in Leeds?
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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Leeds?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for the premises must make sure escape routes work and fire safety equipment is maintained. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, set by the fire strategy.
