Covering Lurgan and nearby
Addresses anywhere in the BT66 postcode district can book automatic swing doors through us. The engineer who attends works under our management and travels to the site. There is no branch in Lurgan, so the price, the booking and the paperwork all come from one place.
Care homes in and around Lurgan often need automatic doors on corridors and day rooms as well as at the main entrance. Gentle operation, hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm and controlled exits help residents move about safely.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Craigavon (2.5 miles), Portadown (5.4 miles), Banbridge (8.3 miles), Lisburn (12.6 miles), Armagh (15.6 miles), Dungannon (17.6 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Lurgan
- Hospital and care home corridors in Lurgan need doors that open early enough for beds and trolleys. Radar sensors set to the right range, or a push pad placed before the door, keep traffic moving.
- Check the hinges first. Older doors in Lurgan often have worn hinges that would fail under an operator, so the survey may recommend heavier hinges or pivots.
- Doors on escape routes in Lurgan usually open in the direction of escape. If the current door opens the other way, the survey will flag whether it should be changed before the operator is fitted.
- Office buildings in Lurgan with access control can have doors that open automatically in working hours and only for card holders after hours, using a timer and the existing reader.
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Lurgan with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.

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. New entrances and some alterations need building control approval in Northern Ireland, so check with your council’s building control before the work is ordered.
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.
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 swing doors and book a survey in Lurgan.
- 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.
Tell us how many doors you have in Lurgan, and whether they are single or double, and we will arrange a free survey.
Automatic swing doors in Lurgan: questions
Can our existing doors in Lurgan be automated?
Usually, if the doors, hinges and frames are in good condition. The survey checks the door weight, the hinges, what the operator will fix to and what sits in the swing path. Where a door is too worn, we will say so and quote a new doorset with the operator fitted instead.
What price range should I expect for automatic swing doors in Lurgan?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Lurgan confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you service swing doors in Lurgan after fitting?
Yes. We can arrange planned servicing, with each visit priced in writing before an engineer attends. A trained engineer should check the safety functions at least once a year, and busy corridors, schools and hospitals usually need more frequent visits. Staff should also carry out simple daily checks.
Do you fit low-energy operators in Lurgan as well?
Yes. Where a door is quieter and used mainly by people who need help opening it, a low-energy operator may be the better choice, as long as a risk assessment shows it is suitable. We compare full-energy and low-energy at the survey and explain the difference in the quote.
Is there a warranty on automatic swing doors?
Yes. The warranty terms for the equipment and the installation are set out in your written quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you accept. Keeping the door serviced at the recommended intervals helps keep it in good order, and the quote explains any conditions that apply to the warranty.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Lurgan?
Most installations take one visit or a short series of visits, with dust and noise kept to the area around the door. The engineer screens off the work area, keeps a route in or out where possible and clears up before leaving. Larger entrances, lobbies or structural changes take longer, and the quote explains how that work is phased.
Which accessibility law applies in Lurgan?
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.
