What to think about for automatic swing doors in Burgess Hill
- Doors on escape routes in Burgess Hill 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.
- Power comes from a fused spur near the head of the door. In older buildings in Burgess Hill with solid walls, allow time for surface trunking or chasing to reach the operator.
- Check the hinges first. Older doors in Burgess Hill 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 Burgess Hill 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
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.
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.

Automatic swing doors in Burgess Hill: questions
Can you fit automatic swing door operators in Burgess Hill?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation of swing operators for doors in Burgess Hill and throughout West Sussex. The work is carried out by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management, and we stay the contracting party from the survey through to handover and any servicing afterwards.
How are prices worked out for automatic swing doors in Burgess Hill?
Our guide starts from £2,495 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Burgess Hill confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Will the swing operator in Burgess Hill work with our fire alarm?
It can. Fire doors that are held open must close automatically when the fire alarm operates, and the operator can be linked to the alarm to do this. Other doors can be set to open on alarm where the fire strategy needs it. Your alarm engineer usually makes the panel connection.
Is the survey for swing doors in Burgess Hill 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 installation in Burgess Hill happen outside opening hours?
Yes. Many shops, surgeries and offices prefer work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, when the entrance is quietest. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and they are built into the plan. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the written quote rather than added afterwards.
What power supply is needed for automatic swing doors in Burgess Hill?
Most powered doors need a fused spur close to the operator, and some activation and access control devices also need a low-voltage link. The survey checks what is already there. If a new supply is required, the quote says whether we arrange it or your own electrician does, so nothing is left unclear on the day.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Burgess Hill?
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.
