Covering Currie and nearby
Engineers working under our management travel to addresses across the EH14 postcode district for frameless glass automatic doors. There is no depot or showroom in Currie; you arrange everything with us by phone, email or the form on this page, and we confirm the price in writing first.
In Currie, automatic door needs often centre on the high street: independent shops, pharmacies, banks, cafés and estate agents. Frontages are often narrow, so the choice is usually between a compact sliding door, a folding door or a swing operator on the existing door.
Nearby towns we also list for frameless glass automatic doors (straight-line distance): Penicuik (5.5 miles), Edinburgh (5.8 miles), Broxburn (6.8 miles), South Queensferry (7.4 miles), Bonnyrigg (8.0 miles), Livingston (8.3 miles).
What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Currie
- Hotels and restaurants in Currie often want the door to stay open on warm days and close in bad weather. A programme switch with hold-open and automatic modes makes that a simple daily choice.
- Listed interiors and heritage buildings in Currie sometimes favour frameless glass because it hides less of the original fabric. Consent may still be needed, so check with the planning authority early.
- Glass partitions in office buildings across the Edinburgh area 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.
- Street-facing doors in Currie 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.
- 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
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers in Scotland must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. Most building work in Scotland needs a building warrant before it starts, so new entrances are checked with the local authority verifier first.
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.
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 Currie.
- 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.
Send us the opening size and a photo of the space in Currie, and we will arrange a free survey for a frameless glass automatic door.
Frameless glass automatic doors in Currie: questions
What should we do if the frameless door in Currie 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.
What will frameless glass automatic doors in Currie cost?
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 Currie confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Will a frameless door suit our street entrance in Currie?
It depends on exposure. Sheltered entrances, recessed doorways and doors behind a canopy usually suit frameless glass well. A door facing straight onto a windy street may suffer from draughts and noise. We will give you an honest view at the survey and, where needed, suggest a framed door or a frameless inner door in a lobby.
How long does fitting take in Currie?
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.
How are payments structured for work in Currie?
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 is the lead time for frameless glass automatic doors in Currie?
Lead times depend on the door type and what has to be made to order. As a guide, operators and accessible door kits are typically two to four weeks from order, and complete sliding entrances typically four to eight weeks from drawing approval. Curved, revolving and hermetic doors usually take longer. The expected lead time is stated in your quote.
Do businesses in Currie have to fit automatic doors?
No law requires automatic doors everywhere. Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and Scottish guidance says powered doors improve accessibility at entrances. An automatic door is often the practical answer.
