Public Building Doors: Automatic Door Installation & Maintenance
Accessible, compliant automatic doors for town halls, libraries, leisure centres and other public buildings, with clear records and planned maintenance.
Public buildings must be open to everyone
Public buildings serve everyone, so accessible entrances are essential. Automatic doors give step-free, hands-free access, and the Equality Act 2010 expects service providers to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people.
Public bodies also need clear records and dependable servicing. We provide documented inspections and a planned maintenance schedule so you can show that doors have been looked after.
What public sector buildings need
Public buildings are judged on access, safety and accountability:
- Accessibility: wide, step-free openings and easy activation
- Compliance: safety checks aligned to BS EN 16005
- Documentation: written service records for each door
- Budget planning: planned maintenance helps you predict costs
- Continuity: emergency repairs so buildings stay open to the public
Door types for public buildings
Automatic sliding doors
Suited to main entrances at town halls, libraries and leisure centres.
Automatic swing doors
Useful for internal routes and accessible secondary entrances.

Give a wider opening where the frame width is limited.

Public sector automatic doors: common questions
Do you provide service records for audit purposes?
Yes. We keep a record of the work carried out on each door so you have documentation available when you need it.
Can you maintain doors across several council buildings?
Yes. We can plan servicing across multiple sites with a clear schedule and a single point of contact.
Are automatic doors required in public buildings?
Not always, but public buildings must be accessible. Automatic doors are a common way to provide step-free access, and the right solution depends on the building and its use.
