Covering Pembroke Dock and nearby
Coverage for automatic swing doors runs across the SA72 postcode district and out into the surrounding parts of Dyfed. Wherever the building is, the arrangements stay the same: one contracting party, a written price before work, and a specialist engineer working under our management on site.
Libraries, health centres and council buildings in Pembroke Dock still need accessible entrances, whatever their size. A single automatic door with a push pad or touch-free switch is often enough to give everyone easy access.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Milford Haven (4.3 miles), Haverfordwest (7.7 miles), Carmarthen (29.4 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Pembroke Dock
- Doors on escape routes in Pembroke Dock 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.
- Doors that open into a corridor can strike people approaching from the side. Guard rails or extra sensors may be needed where the swing area meets a busy route.
- Toilet and changing room doors used by disabled people may suit a low-energy operator instead. The survey compares the options based on how busy the door is and who uses it.
- Check the hinges first. Older doors in Pembroke Dock often have worn hinges that would fail under an operator, so the survey may recommend heavier hinges or pivots.
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Pembroke Dock with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.

Standards and rules in Wales
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers in Wales must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. New entrances and some alterations count as building work, so check with building control before the work is ordered.
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.
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 Pembroke Dock.
- 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 Pembroke Dock, and whether they are single or double, and we will arrange a free survey.
Automatic swing doors in Pembroke Dock: questions
Can our existing doors in Pembroke Dock 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.
How are prices worked out for automatic swing doors in Pembroke Dock?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Pembroke Dock confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How quickly can a swing operator be fitted in Pembroke Dock?
Operators for existing doors are typically 2 to 4 weeks from order. On site, a single door usually takes half a day to a day, and a pair about a day. We can plan work for evenings, weekends or holidays where the building is busy, with any extra cost shown in the quote.
Is the survey for swing doors in Pembroke Dock free?
Yes, for new operators and doorsets the survey is free and carries no obligation. The engineer looks at each door, its hinges, frame, locks, power and fire labels, and you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for the work. Each door is priced separately, so the work can be phased if needed.
How much disruption should we expect while the work is done in Pembroke Dock?
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.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Pembroke Dock?
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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Pembroke Dock?
The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, and sliding or revolving doors must not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits.
