What to think about for telescopic sliding doors in Bognor Regis
- Medical centres in Bognor Regis often share a frontage with a pharmacy or other units. Check who owns the shopfront and whether the landlord needs to approve a new entrance before the survey drawing is finalised.
- If the entrance is on an escape route, ask your fire risk assessor what the door must do before ordering. Break-out telescopic leaves have to be chosen at the start, because they cannot be added afterwards.
- Hospital and supermarket entrances in Bognor Regis that run for long hours put more wear on the extra rollers and belts of a telescopic door. Plan a servicing arrangement from the start rather than waiting for the first fault.
- Entrances used by ambulances and patient transport in Bognor Regis benefit from a full-opening button for crews, while everyday visitors use a narrower partial opening that keeps the waiting area warmer.
- Floor guides on two sets of leaves need a level, firm floor. Cracked screed, rocking tiles or a sloping threshold should be put right before fitting, and the quote will say who does it.

Standards and rules in England
Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers and employers must make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, which can include altering a physical feature such as a heavy entrance door. New entrances and some alterations count as building work, so check with building control before the work is ordered.
Building regulations guidance in England (Approved Document M, Volume 2) says a powered opening system should be used where a self-closing entrance door would need more than 30 N at the leading edge to open, or more than 22.5 N between 30° and 60°, and expects external doors used by the public in new buildings to give at least 1000 mm of effective clear width.
How it works
- Describe what you need. Whether the job is telescopic sliding 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 Bognor Regis.
- 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.
For beds, trolleys or wheelchairs that need more room at your entrance in Bognor Regis, send us the details and we will plan a wider doorway.
Telescopic sliding doors in Bognor Regis: questions
Can you fit telescopic sliding doors in Bognor Regis?
Yes. We arrange supply and installation in Bognor Regis and the rest of West Sussex. Specialist automatic door engineers working under our management carry out the survey and the fitting, and we stay the contracting party throughout, so one company is responsible for the drawing, the quote, the installation and the handover paperwork.
How much should I budget for telescopic sliding doors in Bognor Regis?
Our guide starts from £6,995 excluding VAT (per door set), the same guide price we use across the UK. The free site survey in Bognor Regis confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Will a telescopic door in Bognor Regis work with our fire alarm?
It can. The operator can take a signal from the fire alarm panel so the door opens and stays open, or does whatever the fire strategy for the building requires. The panel connection is usually made by your alarm engineer, and the quote shows who is responsible for each part of the work.
Can you look after the door in Bognor Regis once it is installed?
Yes. We can quote planned servicing for the new door, with each visit priced in writing beforehand and the interval set by how heavily the door is used and the manufacturer's instructions. Busy entrances such as hospitals and supermarkets are usually serviced more often than quieter offices.
Is there a warranty on telescopic sliding doors?
Yes. The warranty terms for the equipment and the installation are set out in your written quote, so you can see exactly what is covered before you accept. Keeping the door serviced at the recommended intervals helps keep it in good order, and the quote explains any conditions that apply to the warranty.
What should I send before the survey in Bognor Regis?
A few photos of the door from inside and outside, rough measurements of the opening, the address and a note of how the entrance is used. If the door already has an operator, a photo of any label on it helps. With that, the engineer arrives prepared, the survey takes less of your time and we can put the quote for telescopic sliding doors together more easily.
Who is responsible for automatic doors on escape routes in Bognor Regis?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person for the premises must make sure escape routes work and fire safety equipment is maintained. Automatic doors on an escape route need fail-safe opening or break-out, set by the fire strategy.
