Automatic Swing Doors

Our range of automatic doors include our versatile Swing Door Systems. These power assisted and automatic swing door operators are most commonly used to allow ease of pedestrian access throughout new and existing buildings and to accommodate the access requirements of all users. Swing door operators provide an efficient and durable form of door automation and can be easily integrated with the access control and fire alarm systems.

Low energy operation is where the door is designed to be operated manually or automatically by the activation of a push pad for example. This solution is typically used for internal low traffic doors, and when automation is only required for certain users. All of our low energy operators comply with hEN1154 and EN16005 as appropriate, are CE marked, most are Certifire approved. Standard solutions can move doors up to 250kg leaf weight and up to 1,600mm in width, comfortably and quietly.

Features & Benefits of Automatic Swing Doors

Automatic swing doors are a versatile and practical solution for improving accessibility, security, and efficiency in various building types. Whether for new builds, retrofits, or architecturally protected structures, these doors enhance ease of access while meeting strict compliance standards such as Part M (Ireland), Part R (Northern Ireland), and EN 16005. From seamless integration with access control systems to hands-free operation in hygiene-sensitive environments, KCC’s automatic swing doors offer a smart, secure, and aesthetically adaptable choice for modern and traditional buildings alike.

Automatic swing doors help buildings comply with Part M of the Building Regulations in Ireland and Part R in Northern Ireland, ensuring accessibility for people of all abilities. They support universal access by eliminating the need for manual operation, which is essential in healthcare facilities, retail spaces, public buildings, and offices. At initial design stage an emphasis should be put on ensuring compliance with guidelines around clear opening widths, use of activation switches or devices, and the force required to open a door for inclusive accessibility for all.

KCC automatic swing doors can be integrated with the building management and access control systems. Typically we will provide and install this ourselves or work with the designated electrical contractor to ensure effective integration. Swing doors integrated with access control provides enhanced security for building users, authorising or restricting access to users to specific areas as required. Doors can be controlled with keycards, fobs, sensors, biometrics, or audio video intercom systems.

Automatic swing door operators can be retrofitted to existing doors, maintaining original aesthetics while improving accessibility and efficiency, making them a smart solution in protected structures or architecturally protected buildings where maintaining the integrity of the building opening is paramount. Considerations around the use of surface-mounted or concealed operators, battery backup options, and heritage-sensitive designs are important in the design and installation process.

In Ireland and Northern Ireland, automatic doors must comply with BS EN 16005, the European standard for powered pedestrian doors, including automatic swing doors. Integrated safety features such as built-in sensors to detect obstacles, controlled door speeds and anti-trap features aid in ensuring optimum user safety and compliance with EN 16005. Additionally, fail-safe mechanisms ensure doors remain operational during power cuts or allow manual operation in emergencies which is important in heavily occupied buildings such as schools or hospitals for example.

Automatic swing doors are a great solution for both modern and traditional buildings as they offer a balance of convenience, accessibility, functionality and aesthetic adaptability as they can easily integrate and complement both modern and classic architectural styles. Swing door operators come in a variety of sizes, strengths and finishes and therefore can be fitted to timber, steel and slim-profile glazed doors
