Covering Dudley and nearby
We do not keep premises in Dudley. Instead, enquiries about curved automatic doors come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the DY1 and DY2 postcode districts on a date that suits the site.
Large office buildings in Dudley often pair automatic doors with access control, turnstiles and visitor systems. Linking the operator to card readers, intercoms or timers means the entrance opens for staff and visitors at the right times and stays secure out of hours.
Nearby towns we also list for curved automatic doors (straight-line distance): Brierley Hill (2.0 miles), Rowley Regis (2.0 miles), Tipton (2.1 miles), Oldbury (2.8 miles), Sedgley (3.3 miles), Kingswinford (3.6 miles).
What to think about for curved automatic doors in Dudley
- 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.
- Consider a spare curved panel for busy entrances in Dudley. It costs more at the start, but a broken leaf can then be replaced without waiting for new glass to be bent.
- A full-round door needs a roof or canopy that can be supported and drained. On exposed sites across the West Midlands, think about how rainwater will leave the canopy without running down the glass into the threshold.
- Hotel entrances in Dudley see bursts of arrivals with luggage and coach parties. Choose a diameter and clear opening that let several people and cases pass together without waiting for a second cycle.
- 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.

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.
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 Dudley, 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 Dudley: questions
Can a curved door in Dudley replace a revolving door?
In many cases, yes. A full-round curved door gives similar draught protection with a straight, open path through, which many visitors find easier than a revolving door. The survey checks whether the existing drum position, floor recess and canopy can be reused or need altering.
Is there a guide price for curved automatic doors in Dudley?
Our guide starts from £14,995 excluding VAT (per entrance), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Dudley 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 Dudley 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.
Do you install curved automatic doors in Dudley?
Yes. We arrange half-round, full-round and segmental curved doors for buildings in Dudley and across the West Midlands. The survey, installation and commissioning are carried out by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management, and we remain the contracting party from the first drawing to handover.
How are payments structured for work in Dudley?
Payment stages are set out in the quote before you accept it. Larger or made-to-order jobs may involve a deposit and a balance on completion, while smaller jobs may be invoiced once the work is finished. Nothing is charged for the survey itself, and the terms you accept are the terms that apply.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Dudley?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Dudley?
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.
