Covering Dundee and nearby
Addresses anywhere in the DD1, DD2, DD3 and DD4 postcode districts can book frameless glass automatic doors through us. The engineer who attends works under our management and travels to the site. There is no branch in Dundee, so the price, the booking and the paperwork all come from one place.
Business parks around Dundee tend to have reception doors that see steady rather than heavy traffic, often with access control after hours. A swing or sliding operator linked to a card reader or intercom is a common arrangement for entrances like these.

What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Dundee
- 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.
- Cleaning staff at busy venues in Dundee should use non-abrasive products on frameless doors, keep the floor guide clear of grit and report any chipped glass edge straight away.
- 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.
- Glass partitions in office buildings across Dundee and Angus are often supplied by a fit-out contractor. Share their drawings with us so the door glass, gaps and finishes match the rest of the screens.
- 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.

Standards and rules in Scotland
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.
Scottish building standards guidance (the non-domestic Technical Handbook) expects an accessible entrance door to give a clear opening of at least 800 mm, says powered doors improve accessibility as long as they add no new hazard, and expects signage, sensors that hold the door open long enough, and guarding against collision or entrapment.
How it works
- Start with a short enquiry. Use the form, phone or email. Tell us whether the work is a new door, an upgrade or an opener for a home, and we arrange the next step for your site in Dundee.
- Measured survey. The free survey confirms what will fit and what the entrance needs: opening width, door type, activation, safety sensors and behaviour on power loss or fire alarm, matched to how the building is used.
- Written price, no surprises. A fixed, itemised quote sets out the specification, the work involved, the expected lead time and the warranty terms. You can ask questions or change the specification before accepting it.
- Installed and commissioned. The door is installed with as little disruption as possible, then set up and tested for its hazard zones. Before leaving, the engineer explains the controls and hands over the documents for your records.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Dundee: questions
Can a frameless door in Dundee 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 is the guide price for frameless glass automatic doors in Dundee?
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 Dundee confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
How long does fitting take in Dundee?
Most frameless automatic doors take a day on site once the glass has been made, which is typically 4 to 8 weeks from order. Work in occupied offices can be planned for quieter times, early mornings or weekends, and any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown separately in the quote.
What should we do if the frameless door in Dundee 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 automatic doors be fitted to a listed building in Dundee?
Often, yes, but listed building consent is normally needed for changes that affect the character of the building, inside or out. Slim operators, concealed fixings and automating the existing door can all reduce the visual impact. Speak to the conservation officer at the local planning authority early; we can provide drawings and specifications to help.
How are payments structured for work in Dundee?
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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Dundee?
The person responsible for fire safety under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for those premises. Scottish guidance allows automatic doors on escape routes only where they fail safely to outward opening or have a monitored fail-safe system that opens them on power failure, sensor failure and fire alarm.
