What to think about for automatic folding doors in Rhosllannerchrugog
- Terraced shopfronts across Clwyd sometimes have timber frames and fascias that need strengthening to carry a header. The survey checks what the operator can be fixed to.
- Pavements in older parts of Rhosllannerchrugog often slope or dip at the threshold. Bottom pivots need a level, solid floor, so the survey records levels and any work needed.
- Pharmacies in Rhosllannerchrugog with queues near the counter may want the door to fold away from the waiting area, with presence sensors set to ignore people standing nearby.
- Check what sits beside the doorway. Displays, A-boards, bins and queues in the area where the leaves fold can stop the door or set off its sensors, so plan a clear zone.
- Shops with roller shutters need the folded leaves to clear the shutter guide channels. Both are measured together so the door and shutter work side by side.

Standards and rules in Wales
Wales has its own building regulations guidance. Approved Document M (Wales) uses a lower opening-force limit than England, 20 N at the leading edge, before a powered door is called for, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
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. Workplace law (the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992) expects powered doors to have suitable and effective features to stop them trapping anyone and, where needed for safety, to open by hand unless they open automatically if the power fails. Doors at work must also be kept in efficient working order under a suitable system of maintenance.
