Convenient and Accessible Automatic Entrances

Improve access to your building with automatic swing doors from Pressford Shutters.

Automatic swing door operators open and close hinged doors without requiring users to push or pull them manually. They provide a practical way to improve accessibility while retaining the familiar appearance and operation of a conventional swing door.

Systems can be activated using motion sensors, push pads or compatible access-control equipment. This makes entrances easier to use for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility, visitors carrying bags and employees moving equipment or deliveries.

Automatic operators can often be fitted to suitable existing doors, helping businesses and organisations improve access without replacing the entire entrance. New single and double automatic swing door systems can also be designed and installed as part of a complete entrance solution.

  • Suitable for many existing and new hinged doors
  • Automatic sensor or push-pad activation
  • Single and double-door configurations available
  • Improved accessibility for building users

Pressford Shutters can survey your entrance and recommend an automatic swing door system suited to the door construction, available space and expected usage.

Technical Specification:

Door Configuration

Available for suitable single and double-leaf hinged doors. Systems can be configured for inward or outward opening, depending on the building layout and entrance requirements.

Operator Arrangement

Operators can be installed in push or pull configurations and adapted for left or right-hand doors. The correct arrangement will be determined by the door construction, opening direction and available mounting space.

Activation Options

Doors can be activated using motion sensors, presence sensors, push pads, contactless switches or compatible access-control equipment.

Safety Systems

Safety sensors monitor movement around the door and its opening path. The required safeguarding arrangement will be determined by a site-specific risk assessment, taking account of the entrance location and anticipated users.

Operating Controls

Available functions may include automatic operation, hold-open, manual use and controlled access. Specific operating modes will depend on the selected operator and control system.

Access-Control Integration

Compatible systems can be connected to equipment such as card readers, keypads, intercoms and authorised-entry controls. All technical details are subject to the selected automatic door system and a site survey.

Door Compatibility

Automatic swing operators can be suitable for aluminium, timber, steel and glazed doors, subject to the condition, weight, dimensions and construction of the existing doorset.

Compliance

Systems can be specified and installed in accordance with applicable powered pedestrian door safety requirements, including BS EN 16005:2023+A1:2024 and relevant risk-assessment guidance. Any door located on an escape route or forming part of a fire-resistant or smoke-control doorset must be assessed as a complete system before automation equipment is installed. All specifications are subject to the selected operator, door construction and findings of the site survey.
