Covering Burntwood and nearby
Addresses anywhere in the WS7 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 Burntwood, so the price, the booking and the paperwork all come from one place.
Independent businesses in Burntwood often have one entrance and cannot close for long. Work is usually scheduled early, late or on a quiet day, and where a door must be out of use for a period, we plan to keep the entrance usable or secure.
Nearby towns we also list for automatic swing doors (straight-line distance): Lichfield (4.3 miles), Cannock (4.4 miles), Aldridge (5.2 miles), Bloxwich (5.4 miles), Rugeley (5.4 miles), Walsall (7.0 miles).
What to think about for automatic swing doors in Burntwood
- Office buildings in Burntwood 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.
- Check the hinges first. Older doors in Burntwood 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 Burntwood 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.
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Burntwood 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 Burntwood, 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.
For corridor, office or school doors in Burntwood, send us photos and door sizes and we will plan the right swing operators.
Automatic swing doors in Burntwood: questions
Can our existing doors in Burntwood 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 do you charge for automatic swing doors in Burntwood?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Burntwood confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you fit low-energy operators in Burntwood 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 the survey for swing doors in Burntwood 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.
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.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Burntwood?
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 Burntwood?
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.
