Automatic doors are often the most accessible way in and out of a commercial building — but only when they’re set up and maintained correctly. NW Automatic Doors keeps entrances across North Wales accessible for wheelchair users, pushchairs and less mobile visitors, with low-energy operators, correctly set safety devices and regular checks that support your access and safety duties.

How we support access and compliance

  • Low-energy operators for safe, hands-free opening
  • Opening speeds and hold-open times set correctly
  • Safety sensors and safety edges tested and adjusted
  • Clear thresholds and safe pedestrian flow
  • Written service records that support your compliance file
  • Advice on upgrading older, non-compliant doors

What an accessibility & safety check covers

  1. We inspect the operator, sensors and safety edges
  2. We set opening speeds, forces and hold-open times correctly
  3. We check the threshold, clear width and pedestrian flow
  4. You get a clear report and record for your compliance file

Why it matters to commercial buyers

Facilities managers and estates teams carry a duty to keep entrances safe and accessible. A well-maintained automatic door reduces risk, supports your obligation to make reasonable adjustments to access, and keeps your building open to every customer and visitor. We help you evidence that with regular checks, correctly set safety devices and clear reporting — the kind of diligence that earns us a 5.0★ rating from 20+ Google reviews.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

Do automatic doors help meet accessibility duties?

Yes. A correctly specified and maintained automatic door provides step-free, hands-free access for wheelchair users, pushchairs and less mobile visitors, which supports your duty to make reasonable adjustments to how people get into your building. It removes the pull-door barrier that can stop some customers and visitors entering independently.

How do you keep an automatic door safe?

We test and adjust the safety sensors, safety edges, opening forces and speeds so the door can’t trap or strike anyone, and we keep written service records. Regular maintenance to current safety guidance is the recognised way to keep an automatic door safe, reliable and evidence-ready if anyone ever asks how it’s managed.

What is a low-energy operator and do we need one?

A low-energy operator opens and closes an automatic door gently and slowly enough that it stays safe around people without extra guarding. They’re widely used on accessible entrances in offices, healthcare and public buildings because they give hands-free access while reducing the risk of the door striking someone. We can fit or convert to one.

Can you make our existing doors more accessible and compliant?

Often, yes. Many doors simply need their speeds, forces and hold-open times reset, sensors realigned, or a low-energy operator fitted to meet current safety guidance. Where a door is genuinely beyond adjustment, we’ll tell you honestly and quote a compliant replacement — never an upsell you don’t need.

Do you provide records we can show for compliance?

Yes. After every service we leave clear written records of what was checked, adjusted and tested, so facilities and estates teams have an evidence trail for their safety and compliance file. If an insurer, auditor or health-and-safety officer ever asks how your doors are maintained, you’ll have the paperwork ready.
