Covering Craigavon and nearby
Sites across the BT64 and BT65 postcode districts are visited by specialist automatic door engineers working under our management. They travel to Craigavon for revolving doors as bookings come in, so dates depend on the diary rather than a fixed local team, and we give you the earliest date we can offer when you book.
Supermarkets and larger stores in and around Craigavon often trade long hours, so work on their entrances is usually planned for early mornings or late evenings. Where a store has more than one entrance, keeping one in use while the other is worked on is part of the plan.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Lurgan (2.5 miles), Portadown (2.8 miles), Banbridge (7.9 miles), Armagh (13.1 miles), Lisburn (15.1 miles), Dungannon (15.8 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Craigavon
- Night security needs thought. Decide whether the wings will lock across the drum or a night shield is needed, and how the pass door and any shutters will be secured.
- Tall buildings in Craigavon can pull a strong draught through an open entrance. A revolving door controls this better than sliding doors, which is one reason office towers use them.
- Hotel entrances in Craigavon see guests with large cases and families with pushchairs. A larger three-wing automatic door and a clearly signed pass door keep the flow moving.
- The fire strategy decides how people will escape. Agree with your fire risk assessor where the pass door and other exits will be before the revolving door is designed.
- Revolving doors with curved glass drum walls have longer lead times. Allow for them in any refurbishment programme across County Armagh, and confirm dates before booking floor layers or shopfitters.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland machinery, including a new or converted powered door, carries the CE marking (with UKNI added where a UK body carried out the conformity assessment), and the EU Machinery Regulation applies there from 20 January 2027. Workplace law (the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993) 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.
The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 require a powered door to have a means to prevent it trapping anyone and a means to open it if the power fails. Guidance on access to buildings is in Technical Booklet R, and building control approval is needed for new entrances.
How it works
- Describe what you need. Whether the job is revolving doors for a busy entrance or for a single internal door, a brief description and some photos let us understand it and plan a survey visit in Craigavon.
- Free visit to the site. An engineer working under our management assesses the opening, the existing door and frame, the floor and the electrical supply, and notes any access, consent or timing issues to plan around.
- Your fixed quotation. The quote is fixed for the work it describes and lists each item, including any removal, making good and electrical work. It also states the lead time, the payment stages and the warranty terms.
- Fitting and sign-off. Work goes ahead on dates agreed with you. Once fitted, the door is adjusted and its safety functions are tested and recorded with reference to BS EN 16005, and you are shown how to use it.
Tell us about your entrance in Craigavon, its size and how busy it gets, and we will arrange a free survey for a revolving door and pass door.
Revolving doors in Craigavon: questions
Do we need a pass door beside a revolving door in Craigavon?
In practice, yes. A revolving door is not accessible on its own, so an accessible powered swing or sliding door should be provided alongside for wheelchair users, pushchairs, deliveries and anyone who needs it. It also usually forms part of the escape strategy. We design and quote both together.
How much should I budget for revolving doors in Craigavon?
Our guide is £29,995 to £59,995 excluding VAT (per automatic door), the same guide prices we use across the UK. The free site survey in Craigavon confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Should we choose manual or automatic for our building in Craigavon?
Manual doors suit smaller entrances with steady traffic and are simpler to maintain. Automatic doors suit busier entrances and visitors with luggage, and add sensors, stop buttons and a slow-speed mode. We explain the difference at the survey and recommend the type that fits how your entrance is used.
Will a revolving door in Craigavon work with our fire alarm?
It can. An automatic revolving door can be linked to the fire alarm so it stops, slows or folds as the fire strategy requires, and the pass door can be set to open. Your alarm engineer usually makes the panel connection, and the quote shows who is responsible for each part.
What happens to the old door when a new one is fitted in Craigavon?
If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote. The old door comes out only when the new one is ready to go in, so the opening is not left empty for longer than necessary. Making good to the surrounding wall, floor or ceiling is included where the quote says so.
What is the lead time for revolving doors in Craigavon?
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.
Which marking should a new automatic door in Craigavon carry?
In Northern Ireland machinery carries the CE marking, with UKNI added where a UK body carried out the conformity assessment. The EU Machinery Regulation applies in Northern Ireland from 20 January 2027.
