What to think about for frameless glass automatic doors in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire
- Hotels and restaurants in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire 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.
- Street-facing doors in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire 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.
- Listed interiors and heritage buildings in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire sometimes favour frameless glass because it hides less of the original fabric. Consent may still be needed, so check with the planning authority early.
- 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.

Standards and rules in Scotland
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.
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.
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.

Do we need building approval for a frameless door in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Replacing a door like for like does not always need approval, but new entrances and wider building work can. Building regulations guidance on access to buildings applies to new buildings and to building work on existing ones, and the details differ in each UK nation. Your local building control or building standards service can confirm what applies.

Do you service doors in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire after installing them?
Yes.

Servicing can follow on from the installation, with the price agreed in writing and a record left after every visit.
How do you make sure the door works for disabled visitors in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
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.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
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.
