Automatic Folding Doors for Space-Restricted Commercial Areas
Automatic folding doors provide an effective access solution where space limitations prevent the use of swing or sliding door systems. By folding neatly to the side as they open, they maximise the clear opening width while maintaining controlled, reliable automated operation.
Commonly specified for internal commercial and specialist environments, automatic folding doors are well suited to corridors, partitions and areas with limited wall or ceiling space. They support accessibility and safe pedestrian movement while offering a practical, compact alternative to traditional automatic door configurations.

Replacement or New Build
Automatic folding doors can be specified as part of a new build project or installed as a replacement to improve access in existing buildings where space is limited. For new builds, folding door systems can be incorporated into the design at an early stage, ensuring the available opening is maximised while maintaining smooth, controlled automated operation.
For replacement projects, automatic folding doors provide a practical upgrade where traditional swing or sliding doors are unsuitable. Existing openings can often be adapted to accommodate folding door systems with minimal structural changes, making them an effective solution for refurbishments in occupied commercial environments where disruption needs to be kept to a minimum.
Supply Only or Full Installation
Automatic folding doors can be supplied on a supply-only basis for projects where installation is being managed by a contractor or in-house team. In these cases, systems are provided to specification with the appropriate operators, controls and safety components, supported by clear technical information to ensure correct installation.
For clients requiring a fully managed solution, we also offer complete installation services. This includes site assessment, specification support, professional installation and final commissioning. A full installation service ensures the system operates reliably, meets safety and accessibility requirements and is delivered with minimal disruption from initial enquiry through to handover.

Applications and Typical Use Cases
Automatic folding doors are ideally suited to environments where available space is limited and alternative door types are not practical. Their compact folding action allows openings to be maximised without the need for swing clearance or extended wall space.
They are commonly specified for internal commercial areas such as corridors, partitions, healthcare settings, offices and specialist rooms, where controlled access and efficient use of space are essential. Automatic folding doors provide a practical solution in buildings that require accessibility without compromising layout or circulation routes.
Safety, Compliance and Accessibility
Safety and accessibility are key considerations in the specification of automatic folding doors. Systems are designed to operate smoothly at controlled speeds and incorporate safety features to protect users during opening and closing.
Automatic folding doors can be specified to support UK accessibility requirements, particularly in environments where space constraints make other automated door types unsuitable. When correctly installed and commissioned, they provide a compliant and reliable solution for safe pedestrian movement in confined areas.
Integration with Existing Doors and Building Systems
Automatic folding doors can be integrated effectively into both new and existing building environments. Systems can often be installed within existing openings, allowing automation to be introduced without significant structural alteration.
They can also be connected to wider building systems, including access control and safety interfaces, ensuring coordinated operation within the building. This flexibility makes automatic folding doors a suitable option for complex commercial environments where space, accessibility and system integration must work together.
