What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Lisburn
- Floor guides need a sound floor. Where the entrance has stone, tiles or polished concrete, agree whether a channel will be cut or a small surface guide fixed, and who makes good the finish.
- Clear glass is easy to walk into. Plan manifestation at the outset, whether frosted bands or a pattern based on your logo, rather than adding stickers after the door is fitted.
- Every edge and fitting on a frameless door is visible. Choose a top rail and clamp finish, such as satin stainless or black, that suits the rest of the ironmongery in the building.
- Street-facing doors in Lisburn that take the full force of wind and rain may be better as framed sliding doors. Frameless leaves have small gaps that let draughts and noise through.
- Listed interiors and heritage buildings in Lisburn sometimes favour frameless glass because it hides less of the original fabric. Consent may still be needed, so check with the planning authority early.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access to buildings is in Technical Booklet R, and building control approval is needed for new entrances.
In Northern Ireland, disability access duties come from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, because the Equality Act 2010 does not apply there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances. New entrances and some alterations need building control approval in Northern Ireland, so check with your council’s building control before the work is ordered.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Lisburn and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on frameless glass automatic doors separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Lisburn: questions
What should we do if the frameless door in Lisburn is damaged?
If the glass is chipped or cracked, switch the door off, keep people away from the damaged leaf and contact us. A repair or replacement visit is priced in writing before an engineer attends, and replacement glass is quoted before it is ordered. Laminated glass usually stays in place until it can be replaced.
Can you give me a price for frameless glass automatic doors in Lisburn?
Our guide starts from £5,495 excluding VAT (per door set), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Lisburn confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you fit frameless glass automatic doors in Lisburn?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Lisburn and throughout County Antrim, with specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carrying out the survey and fitting. We are the contracting party, so one company is responsible for the glass, the operator, the installation and the paperwork at handover.
Can a frameless door in Lisburn be connected to our access control?
Yes. The operator can be linked to card readers, fob readers, keypads, intercoms or a timer, so the door opens freely in working hours and only for authorised people at other times. Tell us what you already have at the survey and the quote will set out the interface work.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Lisburn?
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.
How do you make sure the door works for disabled visitors in Lisburn?
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 marking should a new automatic door in Lisburn carry?
In Northern Ireland machinery carries the CE marking, with UKNI added where a UK body carried out the conformity assessment. The EU Machinery Regulation applies in Northern Ireland from 20 January 2027.
