Covering Dungannon and nearby
We do not keep premises in Dungannon. Instead, enquiries about touch-free and push-button activation come to us, we agree the price in writing, and a specialist engineer working under our management travels to the address in the BT71 postcode district on a date that suits the site.
GP surgeries, dental practices and pharmacies in Dungannon often serve older patients and people with limited mobility. A low-energy swing operator, or a gentle sliding door with a push pad, can make a real difference at entrances like these.
Nearby towns we also list for touch-free and push-button activation (straight-line distance): Cookstown (9.7 miles), Armagh (11.3 miles), Portadown (14.1 miles), Craigavon (15.8 miles), Lurgan (17.6 miles), Magherafelt (18.4 miles).
What to think about for touch-free and push-button activation in Dungannon
- 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.
- Doors next to busy walkways can open for every passer-by on a motion sensor. A wave switch or push pad on that side may cut false openings and heat loss.
- 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.
- Listed buildings in Dungannon may restrict new fixings on historic walls. Wireless switches mounted on posts or glazing can avoid cutting into original fabric, and are easy to move later.
- If the door is linked to access control, decide whether the switch should work all the time or only when the access control has released the door. That changes how it is wired.

Standards and rules in Northern Ireland
Whoever motorises a manual door, or builds an automatic door from separate parts, may take on the manufacturer’s legal duties for the finished door: a risk assessment, a technical file kept available for the authorities, a Declaration of Conformity, the conformity marking and instructions. You receive the Declaration of Conformity and the instructions at handover. 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.
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
- Tell us about the entrance. Send the address, a few photos and a rough size of the opening, and say how the door is used. That is enough for us to suggest options for touch-free and push-button activation and book a survey in Dungannon.
- 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.
Send us photos of the door and the switch you have now, and we will plan better activation for your building in Dungannon.
Touch-free and push-button activation in Dungannon: questions
How long does it take to fit activation devices in Dungannon?
Lead time is typically 1 to 3 weeks for the devices. On site, a single switch usually takes an hour or two, and a full set for several doors may take a day. We give the expected time on site with the quote.
Is there a guide price for touch-free and push-button activation in Dungannon?
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 Dungannon confirms the price as a fixed, itemised written quote, and the guide price tool gives you a range before anyone visits.
Can you add touch-free switches to our automatic doors in Dungannon?
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.
Our door in Dungannon keeps opening for passers-by. Can you fix it?
Usually, by adjusting or narrowing the sensor field, or by changing to a switch on that side. If the sensor is old or faulty, it may need replacing. A visit to adjust or replace a sensor is priced in writing before anyone attends, as that is care work.
Will the building stay secure while the entrance is being changed?
We plan to keep the entrance usable or secure throughout. Where a door has to come out, the work is sequenced so the opening is closed up before the engineer leaves, or a temporary door or hoarding is arranged when a longer gap cannot be avoided. How this is handled for your site in Dungannon is agreed before work starts.
What is the lead time for touch-free and push-button activation in Dungannon?
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 accessibility law applies in Dungannon?
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.
