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.
Fit for purpose automated doors designed just for you
Serving all sectors from shops to schools and offices to hospitals, all our automated doors are designed to enable easy access for disabled visitors.
Automatic Door Servicing & Maintenance
Our commitment to customers extends beyond installation. Regular servicing and maintenance are crucial to keeping automatic doors safe, reliable, and compliant with UK standards. We provide routine inspections, emergency repairs, and preventative maintenance, ensuring that your doors remain fully operational, secure, and efficient.
By entrusting us with ongoing care, you can avoid unexpected breakdowns, extend the lifespan of your doors, and maintain consistent safety, accessibility, and convenience for all users, while protecting your investment and ensuring that every entrance continues to perform at its best over time.

Openings have just repaired a broken cable on one of the 2 garage doors that they supplied and fitted for me in 1996. Doors are still in great condition and service from Openings is still excellent. Fitters were skilled, polite and helpful.Posted on Google![]()

Thanks Openings. Our gates were damaged by accidentally being driven in to. Within ten days you have visited, carried out an assessment, sent a quote and today you have carried out the repair which was quite extensive. It was expertly done by James who services the gates bi-annually in an efficient, pleasant and courteous manner and they are now working very well again. Thank you Openings.Posted on Google![]()

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.”
