Covering Aberystwyth and nearby
We cover the whole of the SY23 postcode district, along with nearby towns in Dyfed. You book each visit for revolving doors directly with us, and a specialist automatic door engineer working under our management travels to your site on the agreed date.
Many buildings in Aberystwyth are older, with timber frames, thick walls, steps or uneven thresholds. These affect where an operator and sensors can go, and the engineer checks them on site before anything is fitted or adjusted.
What to think about for revolving doors in Aberystwyth
- Some visitors to buildings in Aberystwyth find revolving doors hard to use. A slow-speed button, clear signs and staff who can direct people to the pass door all help.
- A revolving door needs a flat, level floor and often a recess for the bottom bearing and mat. Check whether the existing slab can be cut, or whether the floor needs building up.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Aberystwyth may need consent for a revolving door, especially if it projects or changes the façade. Drawings and finish samples help the planning authority.
- Busy reception areas in Aberystwyth may want to keep people moving during installation week. A second entrance, temporary signs and staged work all help visitors find their way in.
- 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.

Standards and rules in Wales
Building regulations guidance treats revolving doors as not accessible on their own, so an accessible powered swing or sliding door should be provided alongside. In Wales, as in England, fire safety law says sliding or revolving doors must not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits.
Wales has its own building regulations guidance. Approved Document M (Wales) uses a lower opening-force limit than England, 20 N at the leading edge, before a powered door is called for, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
How it works

- Free site survey. A specialist engineer working under our management measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power, and talks through how people use the entrance. There is no charge and no obligation.
- Fixed written quote. You receive a fixed, itemised written quote with the specification, lead time, payment stages and warranty terms. The price does not change unless the scope does, and any change is agreed in writing first.
- Installation and handover. The door is fitted on the agreed dates, then set up, tested and documented with reference to BS EN 16005. You are shown the controls and the simple checks to make, and receive the handover paperwork.

Revolving doors in Aberystwyth: questions
Should we choose manual or automatic for our building in Aberystwyth?
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.
What do you charge for revolving doors in Aberystwyth?
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 Aberystwyth confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Do you install revolving doors in Aberystwyth?
Yes. We arrange manual and automatic revolving doors, with their accessible pass doors, for buildings in Aberystwyth and across Dyfed. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carry out the survey, installation and commissioning, and we are the contracting party throughout.
Who services a revolving door in Aberystwyth after installation?
We can, with each visit priced in writing before an engineer attends. Revolving doors should have their safety sensors, stop buttons and wing edges checked by a trained engineer at least once a year, and busy entrances usually need more frequent visits. Staff should also make simple daily checks and keep a record.
What is the lead time for revolving doors in Aberystwyth?
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.
Can installation in Aberystwyth happen outside opening hours?
Yes. Many shops, surgeries and offices prefer work early in the morning, in the evening or at weekends, when the entrance is quietest. Tell us your constraints when you enquire and they are built into the plan. Any extra cost for out-of-hours work is shown in the written quote rather than added afterwards.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Aberystwyth?
The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, and sliding or revolving doors must not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits.
