Automatic doors and the law in Northern Ireland
Doors on escape routes and fire doors are covered by the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. In Northern Ireland, the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 say sliding or revolving doors shall not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits, and automatic doors on an escape route need arrangements that never block people leaving, such as failing safely to open or a break-out facility, agreed through the fire risk assessment.
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access to buildings is in Technical Booklet R, and building control approval is needed for new entrances.

Questions from Lurgan
Can you repair an automatic door in Lurgan that you did not install?
Yes. Engineers working under our management repair most makes of automatic door, whoever fitted them. Tell us what the door is doing and send a photo of any label on the operator. We agree the visit price in writing before anyone attends, and quote any parts before fitting them.
How often should automatic doors in Lurgan be serviced?
There is no fixed legal interval. 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. Each service visit is priced in writing first and ends with a written record.
Do you cover all of Lurgan?
Yes. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management travel to addresses throughout Lurgan, including smaller towns and rural sites. We are the contracting party for every job, so you arrange the work, agree the price and receive the paperwork through us.
Can you work with schools, hospitals and care homes in Lurgan?
We can. Healthcare, care and education buildings need doors that are gentle, reliable and safe for vulnerable users, with work planned around patients, residents or the school timetable. We provide written prices and records suited to organisations that buy through procurement. See sectors for more on each type of building.
Do automatic doors in Lurgan open when the fire alarm sounds?
They can, if they are linked to the fire alarm. Doors on escape routes are set up to open, break out or be openable by hand, as the fire strategy for the building requires, and fire doors that are held open must close automatically when the alarm operates. We set doors up to match the strategy you give us.
