What to think about for hermetic sliding doors in Bordon
- Infection control rules in hospitals across Hampshire usually require screening, dust control and permits for work in clinical areas. Share your procedures at survey so they are built into the programme.
- Theatre doors in Bordon can usually only be replaced during a planned shutdown. Agree the dates with the theatre team early, as the door is made to order and the room needs cleaning and validation after installation.
- Power, building management and fire alarm links need planning with your electrical contractor. Cable routes into sealed cleanroom ceilings must be agreed early, before the panels are sealed.
- Touch-free activation should suit how staff work. Foot switches suit scrubbed theatre staff, wave sensors suit corridors, and card readers suit restricted labs where only trained staff may enter.
- Choose finishes that stand up to the cleaning regime at your site in Bordon. Stainless steel and high-pressure laminate cope with strong disinfectants, but check the chemicals your cleaning team uses first.

Standards and rules in England
BS EN 16005 is the current standard for the safety in use of powered pedestrian doors, and BS 7036-0:2014 is the British code of practice for risk assessment and risk reduction used alongside it. Standards are not law in themselves, but they are the recognised benchmark for showing an automatic door is safe to use, and we set up, test and document doors with reference to them.
Glass in and beside doors must be safety glass or protected where people could walk into it, and clear glass needs markings in two bands, 850 mm to 1000 mm and 1400 mm to 1600 mm above the floor (Approved Document K).

Hermetic sliding doors in Bordon: questions
Do you install hermetic sliding doors in Bordon?
Yes. We arrange hermetic doors for hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and production sites in Bordon and across Hampshire. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management survey, install and commission the doors, and we remain the contracting party responsible for the work and the paperwork.
What price range should I expect for hermetic sliding doors in Bordon?
Our guide starts from £8,995 excluding VAT (per door), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Bordon confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can our existing theatre door in Bordon be upgraded rather than replaced?
Sometimes. Where the leaf and frame are sound, new seals, an adjusted or replaced operator and new touch-free switches can restore performance. Where the frame is damaged or the door is no longer supported, replacement is usually better. The survey looks at both and explains the difference.
Will the hermetic door in Bordon link to our building management system?
It can. The operator can send door status to the building management system and receive signals from it, as well as from the fire alarm and access control. The interface is agreed with your controls contractor and shown in the quote, so responsibilities are clear.
Do you service doors in Bordon after installing them?
Yes. We recommend a trained engineer checks the safety functions at least once a year, with service intervals set by the manufacturer's instructions and how heavily the door is used; busy doors are often serviced more often. 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 Bordon?
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.
Do businesses in Bordon have to fit automatic doors?
No law says every building must have automatic doors. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and building regulations guidance in England calls for a powered door where an entrance door would otherwise be too heavy to open. An automatic door is often the simplest way to meet both.
