Automatic sliding and swing doors

Automatic sliding doors

We install automatic sliding doors that give businesses accessible, energy efficient and professional entrances for shops, hospitals, and offices. These electronically powered systems use sensors to detect presence and open and close automatically providing hands free access while preventing cold draughts and improving temperature regulation. They also present a smart frontage and reduce queuing at busy times, as well as the ability to be utilised as an emergency exit. Key benefits include:

  • Faster footfall flow and reduced wait times
  • Lower energy loss thanks to tight seals and controlled opening
  • Simple servicing requirements that keep downtime minimal

We work with premium materials, reliable operators, and safety sensors, so installations meet performance needs and remain easy to maintain and operate.

Automatic Swing Commercial Doors

At Royal Industrial Doors, we specify and install automatic swing doors that deliver convenient, hygienic and secure access where side space is limited. These systems pair robust motorised operators with intelligent infrared sensors that detect approaching people and activates a smooth swinging action, while obstruction sensing and adjustable force settings protect users and nearby objects. Ideal for retail, education, healthcare, and hospitality premises, they can be supplied bespoke to your dimensions, finish and glazing choices or retrofitted to existing frames to improve accessibility and traffic flow. Integration with access control and battery backup enhances security and continuity. Tight seals help reduce draughts and improve temperature regulation. We handle full commissioning, testing and user training to ensure regulatory compliance and dependable performance, we back every installation with planned maintenance, rapid repairs, and a 24/7 call out from local engineers to keep your entrance working reliably. We serve commercial and industrial customers across Luton, Stevenage, Milton Keynes and the surrounding area

The benefits of automatic sliding and swing doors and their long lifespans

Automatic sliding and swing doors deliver tangible benefits for commercial and residential buildings, improving accessibility for people with mobility issues, making it easier to carry goods and enhancing hygiene through hands free operation. Sliding systems save space and maintain clear sightlines, while swing doors preserve a traditional appearance with the convenience of automation. Both types close automatically to enhance security and reduce the risk of doors being left open, which helps to reduce heat loss, therefore lowering energy bills. Longevity comes from quality materials and well specified operators, sensors, and rollers that withstand heavy use. Professional installation, correct adjustment, and regular servicing prevent premature wear and keep components working smoothly, while ready availability of spare parts and prompt repairs extend service life. Overall, these doors combine practical everyday benefits with long term reliability, offering a modern frontage, and ongoing value when paired with maintained servicing and aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are automatic sliding and swing doors?
Automatic sliding and swing doors are electronically powered entrances that open and close without manual effort, using sensors to detect movement or presence. Sliding doors run horizontally on tracks with panels that glide aside to create a clear opening, while swing doors use a motorised operator to pivot the leaf like a conventional door. Both types offer hands free access, programmable safety sensors, and manual override for emergencies. They suit retail, healthcare, education, and commercial buildings and can be retrofitted to existing frames, or supplied bespoke glazing, finishes, and access control. Regular servicing and correct installation ensure safety, reliability, and long life.
What are the advantages of automatic sliding and swing doors?
Automatic sliding and swing doors bring practical benefits that improve accessibility, safety, and efficiency for commercial premises. They offer enhanced accessibility for those with mobility issues and hands-free convenience for carrying goods while reducing the risk of doors being left open, which boosts security and cuts heat loss. Sliding doors save space and provide a modern entrance that speeds footfall flow, while swing doors deliver a traditional appearance with the same automation benefits. Both types support hygiene, integrate with access control, and emergency override systems, and offer long term reliability when professionally installed and serviced. Regular maintenance extends life and keeps sensors motors and seals operating smoothly.
Where to buy automatic sliding and swing doors?
At Royal Industrial Doors, you can buy automatic sliding and swing doors directly from us, where we manufacture bespoke systems to suit shops, hospitals, offices, and industrial sites. We begin with a free site survey and no obligation quote, so we specify the correct sensors, operators, glazing and finishes for your entrance. Our service includes manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning, and planned maintenance, plus our 24/7 emergency call out for emergency faults. Choose energy efficient seals, integrated access, control retrofit options and a range of finishes to match your building. We cover Luton, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, and neighbouring areas with local engineers for fast support.
How are automatic sliding and swing doors installed?
We start with a free site survey to measure the opening, assess the headroom, and confirm power, and access control needs, so the correct operator and sensor types are specified. For automatic sliding doors, we install the header track, or aluminium frame mount, fit the motor and carriages, hang the panels and wire the control unit. For automatic swing doors, we fix the operator to the door or frame, set up the pivot and power connection, then attach sensors and safety edges. In both systems, we calibrate sensor zones, set opening and closing speeds, and programme manual overrides and integration with fire or access systems. Each installation is fully tested for safety performance and durability, handover includes using training and certification, and we schedule planned maintenance and with 24/7 emergency support.
