Automatic doors make a real difference in healthcare, helping to control infections, make it easier for patients to move around, and let staff work more safely and efficiently throughout the facility.
We supply and install automatic hospital doors, including sliding, swing, and touchless systems. Our engineers specialise in the exacting standards healthcare demands, ensuring every installation exceeds BS EN 16005 safety requirements, meets strict HTM 08-04 NHS guidelines, and delivers full accessibility compliance while maintaining the highest infection prevention standards.
Sliding doors are the best option for high-traffic hospital entrances. We install single, double, and telescopic systems with motion sensors that respond instantly and open wide enough to allow stretchers, wheelchairs, and trolleys to pass through safely. Breakout features can be included to provide a clear escape route in the event of a fire. All doors can be integrated with existing access control and fire alarm systems.
Automatic swing doors are ideal for internal zones such as wards and main corridors. These systems can be set up for sensor or push-pad activation, allowing for hands-free entry while maintaining privacy and safety. Doors can be linked to building management or nurse call systems where needed. Opening and closing speeds can be adjusted based on the location and use. All installations comply with HTM 08-04 guidance.
In surgical areas and other sterile environments, surface contact must be minimised. We install touchless systems with foot pads, wave-to-open sensors, or elbow switches. These are paired with smooth, flush-fitted door surfaces that are easy to disinfect. Optional antimicrobial coatings are available. These systems support HBN 00-09 theatre design and NHS infection prevention protocols.
Doors in high-risk areas need to manage movement without compromising safety. We supply reinforced sliding or swing doors that integrate with access control systems — including staff ID cards, fobs, or keypads. Doors can be programmed with time-based access permissions. For mental health settings, we can supply systems compatible with ligature-resistant hardware and local safeguarding requirements.

All hospital doors are installed in line with key safety and accessibility regulations:
Each installation includes a full compliance pack with commissioning results, configuration settings, access integration diagrams, and confirmation of fire alarm testing.
All installations are carried out by DBS-checked, CSCS-accredited engineers. We have experience working across live hospital sites and coordinate closely with estates teams to avoid disrupting patient care.
Work is scheduled around shift changes, clinics, and ward routines. Clean, low-noise tools and dust control measures are used at all times. Temporary access routes are maintained during installation, and final systems are tested with your team and handed over fully commissioned.
Hospital doors need to perform reliably, day after day. We only install systems proven in clinical environments.
Whether you’re upgrading part of a hospital or delivering a new facility, we’ll make sure your automatic doors are safe, compliant, and ready for long-term use.
If you’re planning a hospital door upgrade or fitting out a new department, we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your layout, usage, and compliance requirements. We’ll guide you through the best options for your space—sliding, swing, or touchless—and advise on activation types, access control integration, and fire safety compliance.
