FAQs

What are the benefits of automatic sliding an existing door instead of swing door?
From a new installation, sliding doors require less space as the doors do not open away from the frame position into or outside a building façade. From a risk perspective as the doors always open away from a person approaching, there is no risk of impact or crushing during the operation. You can install a sliding door system to cover an opening up to 6 metres wide and by using a telescopic operator you could also have a greater clear opening width within a smaller aperture.
My existing automatic sliding door has failed and parts are obsolete, do I need a new complete door system?
No, we can replace the existing sliding door operator reusing the frame and doors matching the colour saving time and money. We can also install the necessary interfaces for your access control system including an integral electric lock and fire alarm for escape purposes. Please send us an e mail to info@bhdoors.co.uk with the dimensions of the operator length with internal and external photos for a quotation and site survey.
What happens to an automatic sliding door in the event of a power failure, can I use the door?
Sliding doors generally fail safe open in the event of power failure as the majority are fitted to fire escape routes. It will also open in the event of power failure as there is a monitored battery pack, but you can alter this to fail closed / stay locked for a security door. Generally, all of the sliders will allow you to alter this setting depending on your requirements for building regulations such as BS9999 or fire risk assessment. Even if the power and battery has failed then you will be able to manually slide your door open and closed until the power has been reinstated or the fault rectified.
Why do you need to carry out a site survey and not give me a standard price for an installation?
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.

“TAfter having a disappointing response from our door installers I looked for an alternative solution and found BH Doors and Engineering on-line. I spoke to David and he arranged to come within a couple of hours and arrived when he said he would. He could not have been more thorough or conscientious, and once he finished our door was working better than it ever had! Thank you David – one of our customers described you as the ‘door doctor’!”
