Covering Magherafelt and nearby
From shops and surgeries to schools, care homes and private houses, any building in the BT45 postcode district can be covered for automatic internal doors. Specialist engineers working under our management carry out the work, and you deal with us as the contracting party from start to finish.
GP surgeries, dental practices and pharmacies in Magherafelt often serve older patients and people with limited mobility. A low-energy swing operator, or a gentle sliding door with a push pad, can make a real difference at entrances like these.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic internal doors (straight-line distance): Cookstown (9.4 miles), Ballymena (15.2 miles), Antrim (16.0 miles), Dungannon (18.4 miles), Ballymoney (22.3 miles), Lurgan (22.6 miles).
What to think about for automatic internal doors in Magherafelt
- Schools and colleges in Magherafelt often prefer corridor work in the holidays. Book the survey early in the term before, so doors and operators can be ordered and delivered in time.
- Doors linked to the fire alarm need a signal from the alarm panel. Allow time for your fire alarm contractor to provide the connection and test it with us.
- Plan the work around the building's routine. Clinical areas, classrooms and kitchens in Magherafelt may need out-of-hours working, which should be agreed and priced up front.
- Each automated door needs power at the head. In older buildings in Magherafelt, running new supplies through finished corridors can be a significant part of the cost.
- Measure what passes through the door, not just the door. Beds, hoists, trolleys and catering equipment can need a wider opening than the current door gives.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, disability access duties come from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, because the Equality Act 2010 does not apply there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances. 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 Northern Ireland machinery, including a new or converted powered door, carries the CE marking (with UKNI added where a UK body carried out the conformity assessment), and the EU Machinery Regulation applies there from 20 January 2027.
How it works
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for automatic internal doors and book a survey in Magherafelt.
- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.
Ask for a fixed price on automatic internal doors in Magherafelt. The quote covers operators, safety devices, fire alarm links and handover records.
Automatic internal doors in Magherafelt: questions
Can you service the internal doors in Magherafelt after fitting?
Yes. We can arrange planned servicing with each door's operator, sensors and fire alarm release checked and a written record left. Servicing is chargeable, and the price per visit is agreed in writing before an engineer attends. Visits can be grouped so several doors are done together.
What price range should I expect for automatic internal doors in Magherafelt?
Our guide starts from £1,795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Magherafelt confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you supply internal sliding doors as well as swing operators in Magherafelt?
Yes. Where there is wall space beside the opening, a sliding door keeps the corridor clear and gives a wide opening, which suits wards. Where there is not, or the door is a fire door, a swing operator is usually the better fit. The survey compares both.
Can you automate the corridor doors in our care home in Magherafelt?
Yes. We survey each door, including its fire rating, hinges, frame and power, and quote a fixed price. Doors can be set to open gently and slowly, with extra safety sensors where residents are frail. Work is planned around your care routines and agreed with the home manager.
Will the building stay secure while the entrance is being changed?
We plan to keep the entrance usable or secure throughout. Where a door has to come out, the work is sequenced so the opening is closed up before the engineer leaves, or a temporary door or hoarding is arranged when a longer gap cannot be avoided. How this is handled for your site in Magherafelt is agreed before work starts.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Magherafelt?
Somewhere for the engineer's van as close to the entrance as possible, and a clear working area around the door. If parking is restricted, loading rules apply or the site has security procedures, tell us when you book. Those details go into the plan so the visit is not held up on the day.
Which accessibility law applies in Magherafelt?
In Northern Ireland the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 applies, because the Equality Act 2010 does not extend there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances.
