Automatic Doors

Automatic Doors

DSSL delivers fully compliant automatic door solutions at national contract level, supporting banks, libraries, hospitals, museums, assisted living schemes and police facilities across the UK. We provide structured planned maintenance programmes, statutory compliance inspections, reactive call-out services and complete new installations, ensuring safe, reliable and legally compliant operation at all times.

Automatic doors are critical access and life safety assets. Our teams understand the importance of operational uptime, safeguarding obligations and adherence to current legislation. We are Door Safe Registered, full members of the Automatic Door Installation Association and operate in accordance with BS EN16005 standards. Our engineers are City & Guilds accredited and fully trained to install, inspect and maintain automated door systems safely and professionally.

As partners with Record, Dormakaba and CDVI, DSSL offers a broad range of manufacturer-backed solutions tailored to each environment. We support swing doors, sliding doors, bi-fold systems, revolving doors, barriers and specialist pedestrian access systems. This multi-manufacturer capability allows us to provide best-fit solutions rather than a single-product approach.

Our services include:

Planned preventative maintenance and compliance certification

Force testing and safety inspections in line with current regulations

Reactive emergency call-outs and fault diagnosis

Full system upgrades and new installations

Integration with access control and fire alarm systems

DSSL currently supports large public sector estates, maintaining automatic doors across libraries, civic buildings, theatres and social services facilities, including high-profile corporate and municipal environments. We also deliver specialist installations within assisted living schemes, enhancing accessibility for residents with mobility needs through intelligent automation and secure remote access solutions.

Whether managing a single site or a multi-building estate, DSSL provides structured delivery, direct accountability and long-term lifecycle support.
