Covering Yateley and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the GU46 postcode district for automatic swing doors. There is no depot or showroom in Yateley; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
Small offices, community centres and village halls around Yateley tend to have one main entrance, often used by visitors who need level access without steps. Automating the existing door, rather than replacing it, is frequently the most practical and affordable route.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Sandhurst (1.9 miles), Crowthorne (2.5 miles), Camberley (3.8 miles), Fleet (4.1 miles), Farnborough (4.7 miles), Wokingham (4.7 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Yateley
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Yateley with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.
- Schools in Yateley often prefer installation during half-term or the summer holidays. Operators are typically 2 to 4 weeks from order, so book the survey a few weeks before the break.
- Check the hinges first. Older doors in Yateley often have worn hinges that would fail under an operator, so the survey may recommend heavier hinges or pivots.
- Hospital and care home corridors in Yateley 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.
- Electric locks must be coordinated with the operator, so the lock releases before the arm moves. Tell us about existing locks, card readers and intercoms at the survey.

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
- 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 Yateley.
- 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.

Automatic swing doors in Yateley: questions
How quickly can a swing operator be fitted in Yateley?
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.
What will automatic swing doors in Yateley 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 Yateley confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Is the survey for swing doors in Yateley 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.
Can our existing doors in Yateley 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 does the written quote for automatic swing doors in Yateley include?
The quote lists each item separately: the door or equipment, installation, electrical connections where we provide them, removal of anything being replaced, testing and handover. It is a fixed price for the work described, so it does not change unless the scope changes, and any change is agreed with you in writing first.
How do you make sure the door works for disabled visitors in Yateley?
We look at who uses the entrance: wheelchair users, people with walking aids, parents with buggies and older visitors. That shapes the opening width, the opening speed, the hold-open time and where push pads or sensors go. Service providers and employers have duties to make reasonable adjustments under equality and accessibility law, and an automatic door is a common one.
Which building regulations apply to a new automatic entrance in Yateley?
In England the guidance is Approved Document M (Volume 2) for access, Approved Document B for fire safety and escape routes, and Approved Document K for glazing and powered doors. A new entrance can count as building work, so building control should be involved before it is ordered.
