Covering Broxburn and nearby

Older shopfronts are common in market towns, and some in Broxburn may sit in a conservation area or a listed building. Changes to a frontage can need planning permission or listed building consent, so it is worth checking with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Nearby towns we also list for revolving doors (straight-line distance): Livingston (2.9 miles), South Queensferry (4.8 miles), Linlithgow (5.9 miles), Currie (6.8 miles), Bathgate (7.0 miles), Rosyth (7.2 miles).
What to think about for revolving doors in Broxburn
- Tall buildings in Broxburn 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.
- Automatic revolving doors need power to the canopy and links to the fire alarm and access control. Plan cable routes before ceilings are closed in.
- 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.
- Revolving doors with curved glass drum walls have longer lead times. Allow for them in any refurbishment programme across the Lothians, and confirm dates before booking floor layers or shopfitters.
- Listed buildings and conservation areas in Broxburn may need consent for a revolving door, especially if it projects or changes the façade. Drawings and finish samples help the planning authority.

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.
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 Scotland, fire safety regulations say sliding or revolving doors must not be used for exits specifically intended as emergency exits, and Scottish guidance allows automatic and revolving doors on an escape route 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.
How it works
- Send photos and the address. A few pictures of the door from both sides, the address in Broxburn and a note of who uses the entrance help us understand the job before anyone visits the site.
- No-cost survey on site. We arrange a survey at a time that suits the building. The engineer records measurements, fixings and power, plus any constraints such as listed status, opening hours or access for deliveries.
- Itemised quote to approve. We price every element of the work on revolving doors separately in a written quote that you can check, share and approve. Lead time and payment stages are stated, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
- Fit, test and hand over. On the agreed dates the engineer installs the equipment, commissions the operator and tests each safety function. You get a demonstration, the test record and any conformity paperwork that applies to the work.
Send photos and any drawings of the entrance in Broxburn, and we will come back with options for a revolving door and an accessible pass door.
