Covering Enniskillen and nearby
From shops and surgeries to schools, care homes and private houses, any building in the BT74 postcode district can be covered for touch-free and push-button activation. Specialist engineers working under our management carry out the work, and you deal with us as the contracting party from start to finish.
Small offices, community centres and village halls around Enniskillen tend to have one main entrance, often used by visitors who need level access without steps. Automating the existing door, rather than replacing it, is frequently the most practical and affordable route.
Nearby towns we also list for touch-free and push-button activation (straight-line distance): Irvinestown (8.3 miles), Lisnaskea (10.2 miles), Omagh (22.3 miles).
What to think about for touch-free and push-button activation in Enniskillen
- Wireless devices need batteries changing from time to time. Choose wired switches for the busiest public doors, and wireless where wiring would be difficult or would spoil a finished wall.
- Homes in Enniskillen often need controls for more than one person. Carers, family and the person using the door may each need their own fob or button.
- Clinics and surgeries in Enniskillen often want touch-free switches on every door patients use. Sealed switch faces that stand up to cleaning products are worth specifying.
- Keep switch heights and symbols consistent across a site. People with sight loss or memory problems find doors easier when every switch is in the same place.
- Think about who should open the door out of hours. A key switch or timer can change the mode at night without affecting how the door works by day.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, disability access duties come from the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, because the Equality Act 2010 does not apply there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances. Fitting an automatic door helps, but does not on its own guarantee those duties are met.
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 touch-free and push-button activation 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 Enniskillen.
- 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 homes in Enniskillen, ask about fobs, wristbands and wheelchair switches for your door opener. The home survey is free.
Touch-free and push-button activation in Enniskillen: questions
Can you add touch-free switches to our automatic doors in Enniskillen?
Usually, yes. Most operators have spare inputs for extra devices. We check the door, operator and wiring route at a free survey, then quote a fixed price for the switches and fitting. Wireless switches are an option where running cables would be difficult.
What price range should I expect for touch-free and push-button activation in Enniskillen?
Our guide starts from £145 excluding VAT (per switch fitted), the same guide price we use across the UK. For homes that is from £174 including VAT. The free site survey in Enniskillen confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can wave switches in Enniskillen be linked to our access control?
Yes. A wave switch can be set to work only after the access control system has released the lock, or to let people out freely from the inside while entry needs a card. We agree how it should behave and test it with your system at handover.
Do touch-free switches work in cold or wet weather in Enniskillen?
Switches for outdoor use are sealed against rain and rated for outdoor temperatures. In exposed spots, a hood or a sheltered position helps. If a switch is outside, we specify one made for that rather than an indoor model, and check it is easy to see and reach in poor light.
What does the free site survey in Enniskillen involve?
An engineer working under our management visits the building, measures the opening, checks the frame, floor, head height and power supply, and looks at how people use the entrance. The survey is free and carries no obligation. Afterwards you receive a fixed, itemised written quote for touch-free and push-button activation, with drawings where the door type needs them.
What do you need from us for parking and access in Enniskillen?
Somewhere for the engineer's van as close to the entrance as possible, and a clear working area around the door. If parking is restricted, loading rules apply or the site has security procedures, tell us when you book. Those details go into the plan so the visit is not held up on the day.
Which accessibility law applies in Enniskillen?
In Northern Ireland the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 applies, because the Equality Act 2010 does not extend there. Service providers and employers are expected to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and an automatic door is a common one at entrances.
