What to think about for curved automatic doors in King's Lynn
- Curved glass cannot be cut to size on site. Allow for the longer lead time in any refurbishment programme, and do not book shopfitters or floor layers for the entrance until the door has a delivery date.
- Curved entrances in King's Lynn are often installed during a wider refurbishment. Working with the main contractor on dates, power and protection of the finished floor helps the door go in once, without return visits.
- If the entrance is on an escape route, the fire strategy decides how the door must behave when the alarm sounds or the power fails. Confirm this with your fire risk assessor before the design is fixed.
- Busy entrances with curved floor guides collect grit from the street. A good matwell and regular cleaning of the guide channels keep the leaves running smoothly around the arc.
- The floor must be level across the whole arc, and the matwell and floor finish need cutting to the same radius as the guides. Coordinate the floor layer with the door programme so the curves match.

Standards and rules in England
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.
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.
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 curved automatic doors in King's Lynn, 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.

Curved automatic doors in King's Lynn: questions
Can the curved door in King's Lynn be installed while we stay open?
Often, yes, for a half-round replacement, with the opening secured overnight and the work planned around quieter hours. A full-round door with a new roof usually needs the entrance closed for longer, so a second entrance is helpful. We agree the arrangements with you before the date is fixed.
Is there a guide price for curved automatic doors in King's Lynn?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in King's Lynn confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Who looks after a curved door in King's Lynn once it is fitted?
You can arrange servicing with us, with each visit priced in writing beforehand. Curved doors need regular attention to the floor guides and carriages that follow the arc. A trained engineer should check the safety functions at least once a year, and busy hotel or store entrances are usually serviced more often.
Is the site survey for a curved door in King's Lynn free?
Yes. For a new curved entrance, the survey costs nothing and carries no obligation. The engineer measures the frontage, checks the structure, floor and power, and discusses the options with you. You then receive drawings and a fixed, itemised written quote.
Do you service doors in King's Lynn 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.
Is there a warranty on curved automatic 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.
Do businesses in King's Lynn have to fit automatic doors?
No law says every building must have automatic doors. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and building regulations guidance in England calls for a powered door where an entrance door would otherwise be too heavy to open. An automatic door is often the simplest way to meet both.
