Covering Dundee and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the DD1, DD2, DD3 and DD4 postcode districts for accessible door operators. There is no depot or showroom in Dundee; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Around Dundee there is usually a mix of retail parks, business parks and town-centre shops, each with different door needs. A retail park unit may need a wide bi-parting door for trolleys, while a town-centre shop often has a narrow frontage better suited to a single slider or a folding door.
Nearby towns we also list for accessible door operators (straight-line distance): Cupar (10.5 miles), Carnoustie (10.5 miles), St Andrews (11.2 miles), Forfar (12.5 miles), Arbroath (16.1 miles), Blairgowrie (16.3 miles).
What to think about for accessible door operators in Dundee
- Offices and shared buildings in Dundee often have doors used by both staff and visitors. Power assist for everyday use, with a push pad for those who need full opening, keeps the door easy for everyone.
- Check how heavy the door is to push now. If the closer is set very strong for fire or wind reasons, the operator has to be chosen to suit, and the closer may need adjusting.
- Doors in exposed spots around Dundee can be caught by the wind. A low-energy operator has limited force, so the survey checks whether the door will open and close reliably on a gusty day.
- If the door is a fire door, find its rating or records before the survey. Fixings and cabling must respect the rating, and the operator must release the door on the fire alarm.
- Place push pads where a wheelchair user can reach them without the door swinging into them. That often means mounting a pad on a post or a side wall rather than on the frame.

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.
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
- 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 accessible door operators in Dundee, 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.
Make a heavy door in Dundee easy for everyone to open. Ask for a site survey and a written quote, with no obligation to go ahead.
Accessible door operators in Dundee: questions
Can you fit an accessible operator to a door at our surgery in Dundee?
Yes, in most cases. We check the door, hinges, frame and the wall above at a free survey, then quote a fixed price for the operator, push pads and any repairs needed first. Fitting usually takes half a day to a day per door, planned around your opening hours.
What do you charge for accessible door operators in Dundee?
Our guide is £1,795 to £2,995 excluding VAT (per single door), the same guide prices we use across the UK. The free site survey in Dundee confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you fit operators to several doors across our sites in Dundee?
Yes. We can survey several doors or buildings in one visit where they are close together and quote each door separately, so you can phase the work if budgets need it. Controls and push pads can be kept the same across sites for consistency.
Do you fit operators to accessible toilets in Dundee?
Yes. An accessible toilet usually needs a low-energy operator, push pads inside and out, a lock button that stops the door opening from outside while in use, and an emergency release for staff. We price the full kit, test it with your staff and leave the settings in writing.
How do you make sure the door works for disabled visitors in Dundee?
We look at who uses the entrance: wheelchair users, people with walking aids, parents with buggies and older visitors. That shapes the opening width, the opening speed, the hold-open time and where push pads or sensors go. Service providers and employers have duties to make reasonable adjustments under equality and accessibility law, and an automatic door is a common one.
How are payments structured for work in Dundee?
Payment stages are set out in the quote before you accept it. Larger or made-to-order jobs may involve a deposit and a balance on completion, while smaller jobs may be invoiced once the work is finished. Nothing is charged for the survey itself, and the terms you accept are the terms that apply.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Dundee?
The person responsible for fire safety under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for those premises. Scottish guidance allows automatic doors on escape routes only where they fail safely to outward opening or have a monitored fail-safe system that opens them on power failure, sensor failure and fire alarm.
