Without automation, swing doors can be too heavy to push open and almost impossible for wheelchair users to navigate. We can automate existing swing doors for ease of use, and to ensure you’re meeting DDA requirements.

Sliding Doors offer an attractive aesthetic, but they need clear wall space either side for the panels to slide into place on opening. We’ll advise you on the best type for your educational establishment.

We offer a wide range of Access Control functions, including proximity readers, intercoms and keypads, plus we can link your doors to your school CCTV system too.

You can also have Automatic Door systems installed within your School premises for disabled access throughout.

We ensure that we maintain the essential safeguarding of your students by mitigating trap hazards through the installation of hinge protectors and safety sensors.

All Automatic Doors for Education environments are fitted with push-to-exit buttons, and Sliding Doors are also fitted with sensors to prevent accidents. We can also install either a glazed unit or a glaze half-height section to mitigate the trapping risk present where the Sliding Doors move back into the wall.

In addition to your safeguarding requirements, you have a legal responsibility to ensure that any wheelchair users or staff/students with mobility issues can easily enter and exit your school or college premises, and an Automatic Door is the best way to enable this accessibility.

We can integrate a wide range of school Access Control solutions to provide additional security to your Automatic Door, preventing unauthorised people from gaining access and ensuring that your premises are well protected.

Automatic Doors don’t just make it easier for those with disabilities, but also help to ensure ease of access for everyone – particularly useful at busy times of the day, where you want to keep pedestrian traffic flowing freely.

Sliding Doors can be a much safer alternative to normal doors, as they mitigate the risk of doors swinging open and hitting someone or closing on children or staff who may have their hands full and be unable to catch the door as it swings closed.
