Covering Enfield and nearby
Homes, businesses and public buildings throughout the EN1 and EN2 postcode districts can arrange frameless glass automatic doors with us. We are the contracting party and organise every visit; the engineer, who works under our management, travels in to Enfield for the job rather than working from premises in town.
Mixed-use blocks in Enfield, with shops or offices at ground level and flats above, often have communal entrances run by a managing agent. Doors there have to suit residents, deliveries and visitors, and approval from the freeholder or agent usually comes before work starts.
Nearby towns we also list for frameless glass automatic doors (straight-line distance): Edmonton (2.1 miles), Tottenham (3.4 miles), Wood Green (3.8 miles), Chingford (3.9 miles), Cheshunt (4.1 miles), Waltham Abbey (4.2 miles).
What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield
- Power has to reach the operator above the door. In glass partitions there may be nowhere to hide a cable, so plan the route through the ceiling or a slim trunking from the start.
- Glass partitions in office buildings across Greater London 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Showrooms in Enfield with large displays, or vehicles moving in and out, may want a wide bi-parting frameless door with a hold-open mode for deliveries.

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 frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield, 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.

Frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield: questions
Do you fit frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Enfield and throughout Greater London, 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.
What is the guide price for frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield?
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 Enfield 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 Enfield?
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.
Is the survey for a frameless door in Enfield free?
Yes. For a new frameless automatic door, the survey is free and you are under no obligation. The engineer measures the opening, checks the structure above and the floor below, discusses glass and fittings, and you then receive a drawing and a fixed, itemised written quote.
What is the lead time for frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield?
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.
What does the written quote for frameless glass automatic doors in Enfield include?
The quote lists each item separately: the door or equipment, installation, electrical connections where we provide them, removal of anything being replaced, testing and handover. It is a fixed price for the work described, so it does not change unless the scope changes, and any change is agreed with you in writing first.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Enfield?
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.
