Covering Nottingham and nearby
Sites across the NG1, NG3, NG6, NG7 and NG8 postcode districts are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Nottingham for automatic internal doors as bookings come in, so dates depend on the diary rather than a fixed local team, and we give you the earliest date we can offer when you book.
Universities, colleges and city hotels see sharp peaks of traffic at changeover times and check-in hours. For entrances like these in Nottingham, opening width, hold-open time and sensor range are set so the door copes with crowds without wasting heat.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic internal doors (straight-line distance): West Bridgford (1.9 miles), Carlton (2.9 miles), Arnold (3.3 miles), Beeston (3.8 miles), Hucknall (5.9 miles), Long Eaton (6.3 miles).
What to think about for automatic internal doors in Nottingham
- Hospitals in Nottingham usually have estates teams with their own standards for door widths, controls and fire alarm interfaces. Share those early so the quote matches them.
- Care homes in Nottingham often have residents with dementia. Think about which doors should open freely and which should be controlled, and agree that as a care decision before choosing controls.
- 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.
- Offices in Nottingham with open-plan floors often have corridor fire doors that are held open by wedges. A proper hold-open device or operator removes the wedge and keeps the door working as a fire door.
- 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 England
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.
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
- 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 Nottingham.
- 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.
Send us a list of the doors and how they are used, and we will plan automatic internal doors for your building in Nottingham.
Automatic internal doors in Nottingham: questions
Do you supply internal sliding doors as well as swing operators in Nottingham?
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.
What will automatic internal doors in Nottingham cost?
Our guide starts from £1,795 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Nottingham confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can internal doors at our offices in Nottingham be linked to access control?
Yes. Card readers, fob readers or keypads can control who passes into staff areas, and the door opens automatically once access is granted. Locks release on the fire alarm where the fire strategy requires, and we can connect to an existing access control system or supply a standalone one.
Can our cross-corridor fire doors in Nottingham be held open?
Yes, using hold-open devices or fire-rated operators linked to the fire alarm, so the doors close when the alarm operates. We check the doors' condition and ratings first. Any change to how fire doors behave should be agreed with whoever holds your fire risk assessment.
How are payments structured for work in Nottingham?
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.
What does the free site survey in Nottingham involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for automatic internal doors, with drawings where the door type needs them.
Do businesses in Nottingham have to fit automatic doors?
No law says every building must have automatic doors. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and building regulations guidance in England calls for a powered door where an entrance door would otherwise be too heavy to open. An automatic door is often the simplest way to meet both.
