Covering Morden and nearby
Requests for automatic swing doors in Morden are handled by us and passed to a specialist engineer working under our management. Coverage includes the SM4 postcode district: town-centre premises, business and retail sites, public buildings and residential streets alike.
Frontages in Morden can be narrow, and many London streets include listed buildings or conservation areas where changes to a shopfront need consent. Slimline operators and folding doors are often the practical options, as is a discreet operator fitted to the existing door.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Mitcham (1.3 miles), Wimbledon (1.7 miles), Tooting (2.4 miles), Carshalton (2.5 miles), Sutton (3.3 miles), Streatham (3.6 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Morden
- Hospital and care home corridors in Morden 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.
- Doors on escape routes in Morden 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 Morden 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.
- 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.
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Morden with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.

Standards and rules in England
Building regulations guidance in England (Approved Document M, Volume 2) says a powered opening system should be used where a self-closing entrance door would need more than 30 N at the leading edge to open, or more than 22.5 N between 30° and 60°, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
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. New entrances and some alterations count as building work, so check with building control before the work is ordered.
How it works
- Get in touch. Call, email or use the form with the address and what you have in mind. If you are not sure which type of door suits, describe the entrance and we will suggest the options worth considering.
- Survey and advice. The survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer checks the site and explains which options suit the entrance, the people using it and the budget, before anything is priced.
- Quote in writing. You receive a fixed, itemised quote for automatic swing doors in Morden, covering equipment, installation, testing and handover, with the lead time and payment stages set out clearly.
- Install, test, explain. The engineer installs and commissions the door, tests the sensors, safety functions and emergency behaviour, and walks you through the controls. The handover pack records what was installed and tested.
Tell us how many doors you have in Morden, and whether they are single or double, and we will arrange a free survey.
Automatic swing doors in Morden: questions
Can our existing doors in Morden 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 will automatic swing doors in Morden cost?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Morden 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 Morden?
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 Morden 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.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Morden?
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.
Do you service doors in Morden after installing them?
Yes. We recommend a trained engineer checks the safety functions at least once a year, with service intervals set by the manufacturer's instructions and how heavily the door is used; busy doors are often serviced more often. Servicing can follow on from the installation, with the price agreed in writing and a record left after every visit.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Morden?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for the premises must make sure escape routes work and fire safety equipment is maintained. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, set by the fire strategy.
