Overview

Entrance Systems Services in Manchester

For automatic commercial door installations in Manchester, the job starts at your entrance. We look at the opening, the people and traffic that use it and how it needs to be controlled, then recommend a door or gate, put the scope and price in writing and install it once you agree.

We fit automatic sliding, swing and revolving doors as well as speed gates and turnstiles. Most of our automatic door work is for shops, offices, receptions and other business premises across Manchester, which is why commercial automatic door installation in Manchester is the focus of this page. If you are looking at automatic doors for businesses in Manchester, the survey is where the choice of system is made.

What is included

What Our Entrance Systems Installation Includes

The same four things on every entrance we take on.

  1. A survey of the entrance

    The opening, the space around it, the flow of people and how the door will be used.

  2. A recommendation and written quote

    Which system suits the entrance, what the installation covers and the price.

  3. Installation by our engineers

    The agreed door or gate fitted and set up to work as designed.

  4. Support afterwards

    Repairs and servicing are available once the system is in.

Premises

Home and Commercial Options

Business premises

Most of the automatic door work we do: shops, offices, reception areas and other entrances that see steady foot traffic.

Homes

We also fit automatic doors in some homes. Tell us about the property and we will say whether it suits.

Systems

Systems, Equipment and Integration Options

The system types we install. Which one fits depends on the entrance, and the survey decides it.

  • Doors that slide open as people approach, for entrances with room either side of the opening.

  • Hinged doors opened automatically, often suited to narrower or existing doorways.

  • For entrances where a door that is never fully open suits the building.

  • Gates in an entrance hall that open for authorised people and close behind them.

  • Controlled entry one person at a time, where that level of control is needed.

  • A door or gate can be tied into access control, so it opens only for the right card, fob or code.

How it works

How the Survey and Installation Process Works

From the first call to an entrance that opens on its own.

  1. Your enquiry

    Tell us about the premises, the entrance and what you want the door or gate to do.

  2. Site survey

    An engineer measures the opening and looks at how the entrance is used through the day.

  3. Recommendation and quote

    We recommend a system and send the scope and price in writing.

  4. Installation

    Once you accept, our engineers fit the system and set it up.

  5. Testing and handover

    The door or gate is tested, adjusted and shown to you before we leave.

Coverage

Manchester Coverage

We are based in Manchester and fit automatic doors across the city and Greater Manchester. Survey visits are arranged around your opening hours, so the entrance can be looked at while it is in normal use.

Support

Related Repair, Maintenance and Support

Automatic doors get heavy use, and we repair and service them as well as installing them. If an existing door or gate has a fault, or you want one looked after over time, get in touch with the details and we will arrange a visit.

Help & FAQs

Entrance Systems Installation FAQs

What affects the price of an automatic door installation in Manchester?

Mainly the type of system, the size of the opening, the work needed around the entrance and whether it links to access control. The survey settles these, and the price comes in a written quote.

How long does entrance systems installation take?

It depends on the system and the entrance. You get an estimate of the timescale with the quote, so the work can be planned around your business.

What happens during an automatic door site survey?

An engineer measures the opening, looks at the space around it and how people use the entrance, and asks how you want it controlled. The recommendation and quote are based on that visit.

Can you work with existing entrance systems?

If there is already an automatic door or gate at the entrance, the engineer looks at it during the survey and talks you through the options, including repair or servicing.

Which areas do you cover?

This page is for Manchester and Greater Manchester, where we are based. If you are elsewhere, get in touch and we will confirm.
