      FAQs

      What types of commercial doors do you specialize in servicing / repairing / installing?
      During a site survey we will discuss your requirements, design a system which complements your building and surroundings. Due to the cost implications of materials the size of opening, glass specification and type of door system would affect the price.

      The users of the system be taken into account and a full risk assessment needs to be carried out to ensure that it is safe, reliable and easy to use. We would only provide a system which we would offer a service contract agreement upon to give you piece of mind and warranty.

      Do you offer custom door solutions to fit specific business needs or unusual opening sizes?
      Yes, BH Doors & Engineering Ltd offers bespoke door solutions tailored to your business’s specific requirements. Whether you’re working with an unconventional space, require a unique finish, or need a door with advanced functionality (e.g., touchless operation, restricted access, soundproofing), we can help.

      We work closely with clients from the initial survey through design and installation to ensure the final product meets both aesthetic and operational needs. Our team has experience adapting automatic doors, glass panels, and movable partitions for a wide range of applications, from historical buildings to modern healthcare and retail environments.

      Do you offer warranties on your new door installations and repair services?
      Yes, warranties are available on most of our new installations and repair services. While the specifics may vary depending on the manufacturer and type of system installed, we ensure all work is backed by a clear and transparent warranty. This includes coverage for parts, labour, and workmanship within the warranty period.

      During your consultation, we will outline the exact terms of your warranty, so you have full peace of mind. Our commitment doesn’t end after installation as we are available for ongoing support, scheduled maintenance, and responsive aftercare to keep your systems running safely and efficiently long term.

      How long does a typical installation or major repair take?
      Project timelines depend on the complexity and type of door system, but we always aim to complete work efficiently and with minimal disruption. Emergency call-outs can often be resolved on the same day, particularly for repairs involving door closers, locks, sensors, or motors.

      For new installations or more extensive repairs, we’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation. Our engineers come prepared with common replacement parts, allowing us to resolve many issues on the first visit. We also schedule work at times that best suit your operations, whether that’s during business hours or after-hours when needed.

      Do you handle the removal and disposal of old doors as part of the installation process?
      Yes, our service includes the safe removal and environmentally responsible disposal of any old doors or components being replaced. Whether it’s an automatic system, timber door, or aluminium frame, we ensure all waste is cleared from the site and handled according to environmental regulations.

      This is part of our commitment to providing a complete, hassle-free service from start to finish. You won’t need to coordinate with multiple contractors or worry about waste removal logistics—our team will handle it all, leaving your premises clean, compliant, and ready to use.

      What safety regulations and building regulations do your installations comply with?

      All our work is carried out in compliance with the relevant UK safety regulations and building codes, including EN 16005 (automatic door safety), BS 7036, and Building Regulation Document M for accessibility. We also ensure our installations meet Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements for accessible access points.

      Our engineers are trained to assess site-specific compliance factors, including fire escape routes, public safety, and emergency access.
      We only use certified components from trusted manufacturers and ensure every installation is commissioned with the correct signage, safety features, and user controls, giving you full compliance and peace of mind.

      What factors should I consider when choosing the best type of commercial door for my business (e.g., traffic flow, security needs, aesthetics, energy efficiency)?
      At BH Doors & Engineering Ltd, we guide you through key considerations such as traffic flow, security, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. High-traffic areas benefit from automatic or sliding doors, while high-security zones may require steel or reinforced options. We also consider your building’s architecture and branding to maintain visual appeal.

      Our solutions prioritize compliance with safety standards and energy efficiency to help lower operating costs. Whether you need internal partitions or robust exterior doors, we ensure the chosen product aligns with your functional, regulatory, and aesthetic goals.

      What materials are best for heavy-use or high-security areas?
      BH Doors & Engineering Ltd recommends materials based on your usage and security needs. For high-traffic or secure areas, we suggest steel for its unmatched strength, impact resistance and longevity. Aluminium offers a lighter alternative with good durability, while solid-core timber with metal cladding can blend aesthetics with strength.

      These materials can be customized to fit access control systems. Our team advises on the most suitable materials during consultation to ensure long-term durability, compliance, and security for demanding commercial environments.

      Can you integrate new doors with existing access control systems (e.g., key cards, remote access, motion sensors)?
      Yes, BH Doors & Engineering Ltd specialises in integrating commercial doors with your existing access control systems, including key cards, biometric scanners, motion sensors, and remote access technologies. Our engineers assess compatibility and ensure seamless installation with minimal disruption to daily operations.

      We also offer custom solutions for security upgrades and automation. Whether your system is standalone or networked, we ensure doors function securely and reliably with your infrastructure, enhancing both convenience and control. All installations follow industry best practices and meet current security compliance standards.

      What are the available security features for your commercial doors (e.g., high-security locks, reinforced frames, tamper-proof fittings)?
      BH Doors & Engineering Ltd offers a full range of security features tailored to your risk level and building type. These include high-security locks, multi-point locking systems, reinforced steel frames, anti-pry protection, tamper-resistant hinges, and security glazing for glass installations.

      We also install panic bars. Every door system is engineered to meet relevant UK standards, offering peace of mind for premises requiring enhanced protection.

      How does the installation process work, from initial assessment to completion?
      BH Doors & Engineering Ltd follows a thorough, customer-focused process. We begin with an on-site assessment to understand your needs and environment. Our team then provides a detailed quotation and product recommendation. After confirmation, we take precise measurements and order or fabricate the door.

      During installation, we handle removal of old doors, frame fitting, access system integration, and safety checks. Our engineers ensure everything is aligned, secure, and functioning. We complete the job with a handover inspection and user training, ensuring satisfaction and compliance with all relevant standards.

      Are there any potential additional charges for custom fittings or unforeseen issues during installation?
      While BH Doors & Engineering Ltd offers transparent pricing, additional charges may arise for custom fittings, site-specific challenges, or unexpected structural modifications. For example, if an opening needs alteration, hazardous material is discovered, or electrical work is required for access integration, we will inform you immediately.

      Our goal is to prevent surprises by conducting a detailed pre-installation survey. We always seek client approval before proceeding with extra work, and all changes are clearly documented in revised quotes. Honesty and transparency are core to our service.

      What measures do you take to ensure proper alignment and a secure fit during installation?
      At BH Doors & Engineering Ltd, we use laser-guided measuring tools, heavy-duty fixings, and precision levelling techniques to guarantee accurate door alignment and a secure fit. Frames are shimmed and anchored correctly, and we test swing direction, latch operation, and clearances thoroughly. Sealing is applied to ensure thermal efficiency and prevent air or water ingress.

      Post-installation, we conduct a full operational test and adjust components if needed. We pride ourselves on high-quality workmanship and compliance with BS EN standards for safety and performance.

      How does a power failure affect automatic doors, and what emergency features are in place?
      BH Doors & Engineering Ltd installs automatic doors with built-in emergency protocols. In a power outage, most models switch to manual operation so doors can be pushed open. Many of our systems also include battery backup units to maintain functionality during short-term failures.

      For safety, emergency breakaway features allow quick exit, and fail-safe or fail-secure locks can be specified based on your needs. Our team will advise on the best options for business continuity and compliance with BS 7036 and EN 16005 standards for powered pedestrian doors.

      What are the benefits of installing automatic doors in a commercial setting?
      Automatic doors from BH Doors & Engineering Ltd offer numerous advantages. They enhance accessibility, meet DDA/Equality Act compliance, and improve hygiene by enabling touch-free entry. They also support energy efficiency by reducing heating and cooling loss through quick opening/closing. In busy settings, they streamline traffic flow and reduce congestion.

      Our automatic systems can be integrated with access control, motion sensors, or remote operation. Designed for durability and safety, they offer a modern, professional appearance that enhances your business’s image and user experience.

      How can I tell if a repair will be sufficient versus needing a full door replacement?
      BH Doors & Engineering Ltd helps clients decide between repair and replacement based on damage severity, age, and cost. Minor issues like faulty hinges or closers are typically repairable.

      However, if a door is warped, corroded, or repeatedly failing, replacement is often more cost-effective long-term. We provide transparent assessments to ensure your door meets performance, safety, and compliance requirements.
