Ensuring your doors are installed safely and efficiently is a key consideration. Well-installed and maintained automatic doors will enjoy a longer service life and be less likely to break down.

What is the legislation regarding automatic door installation, how long does it take and what might it cost to have automatic doors installed at your premises?

Is there legislation for automatic door installation?

Automatic doors are complex pieces of machinery that involve a range of moving parts. These parts must be installed correctly by a qualified engineer to ensure their safe operation. The installation of automatic doors is covered under BS EN 16005. This is a British and European safety standard that details a range of safety requirements for powered pedestrian door installations. This safety standard sets out clear guidelines for the design, installation and operation of the automatic doors.

The key requirements for automatic door installation as set out in BS EN 16005 include:

• Sensor Safety

  To ensure the secure operation of automatic doors, they must be outfitted with sensors ensuring the detection of individuals or objects.

• Safety Perimeters

  The vicinity surrounding automatic doors must remain free of any possible impediments.

• Emergency Escape

  In the event of a power outage or other emergencies hindering normal operation, automatic doors should provide a means of escape.

• Clear Indicators

  Prominent signage indicating the existence of automatic doors and their opening direction should be present

• Routine Maintenance

  To guarantee the safe and effective functioning of automatic doors, regular maintenance procedures should be conducted.

BS EN 16005 must be complied with in full to minimise risk and to ensure the safety of users.

How long does it take to install an automatic door?

The safe installation of automatic doors can vary depending on a range of different factors. This will typically include the type of door chosen and the requirements of the site where it is being installed. A straightforward installation may take anywhere from a day to several days, while more complex installations could extend the timeframe further.

An experienced installer will be able to advise about the particular requirements of an installation and how long the process is likely to take. It’s important to bear in mind that this can change if unexpected challenges arise during the installation. Your installation team will be able to assess your site and provide accurate timelines for your automatic door installation.
