Types of Automatic Doors We Install
At Openings, we offer bespoke automatic door solutions designed to suit the specific needs of Dorset properties. Each door is carefully selected and customised to balance functionality, safety, and style, while ensuring long-term reliability, smooth operation, and seamless integration with the overall design of your building.
Sliding Automatic Doors
Sliding automatic doors are ideal for commercial entrances and high-traffic areas. They provide smooth, continuous operation and are particularly energy-efficient, helping to maintain internal temperatures in retail or office environments. The doors are designed for durability and long-term performance, with minimal maintenance required. Their unobtrusive operation ensures that customer flow is seamless, making them a preferred choice for shops, hospitals, and public buildings.
Swing Automatic Doors
Swing doors are well-suited for offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, offering a versatile option where space permits. Our swing doors are powered by advanced automation, enabling easy access for all users while maintaining a professional aesthetic. They can be tailored to fit architectural requirements and are available in various finishes to complement the interior or exterior design of your property. With safety and accessibility features built-in, these doors combine style with functionality.
Bespoke Design and Installation Process
Every automatic door we install follows a personalised and precise process. We understand that no two properties are the same, so our approach is tailored to your requirements from start to finish.
Step 1 – Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation, where one of our engineers will assess your property, discuss your needs, and recommend the most suitable solution. This ensures that the door you choose meets both functional and aesthetic expectations.
Step 2 – Site Survey
A free site survey is conducted to evaluate the structural requirements, space constraints, and potential safety considerations. This step allows us to create an accurate plan and provide a transparent quotation before any work begins.
Step 3 – Custom Design
Based on the survey, our team will design a bespoke door system. We consider materials, finishes, and automation technology to ensure a solution that is durable, safe, and visually appealing. Every element is tailored to your property.
Step 4 – Professional Installation
Finally, our skilled engineers carry out the installation, adhering to strict safety standards and ensuring smooth operation and reliability. We test each door thoroughly and provide guidance on its use and maintenance.
Materials and Technology
We use only high-quality materials, such as powder-coated aluminium, combined with state-of-the-art automation systems. These materials are chosen for their durability, low maintenance, and enhanced security. Our technology ensures that your automatic doors operate efficiently while withstanding heavy usage, protecting your property and visitors alike. Each installation is carried out with attention to detail, guaranteeing a long-lasting solution that meets both performance and aesthetic expectations.

Reviews
David G - Bournemouth
“I cannot recommend this company highly enough. When my electric gates failed the service and communication were first class. They sent an engineer to open the seized gates and returned a couple of days later to carry out the repair. The engineer was smart and courteous and the final bill was less than they had originally quoted as they did not have to replace all of the parts expected.”
