Contactless Automatic Doors

Mere UK designs, supplies and installs commercial automatic door systems for schools, colleges, healthcare facilities, businesses, industrial premises and public-sector organisations throughout the North West. We provide automatic door solutions for new entrances and can automate suitable existing pedestrian doors using appropriate operators, activation devices and safety sensors. Systems can include automatic swing and sliding doors, push-button activation, radar sensors and touchless wave sensors. Where controlled entry is required, automatic doors can also be integrated with access control systems, card and fob readers, keypads, intercoms and electronic locking to provide convenient pedestrian access while maintaining building security.

Why Choose Automatic & Contactless Doors?

• Improved Accessibility – Automatic operation can make entrances easier to use for wheelchair users, people with limited mobility, staff carrying equipment and other building users.
• Touchless Operation – Radar sensors and contactless wave activation can reduce the need to physically touch door furniture or push buttons.
• Access Control Integration – Automatic doors can operate alongside card readers, fobs, keypads, intercoms and electronic locking to provide both convenient and controlled entry.
• Existing Door Automation – Many existing commercial pedestrian doors can be adapted for automatic operation, subject to the suitability and condition of the existing door and entrance.
• Managed Entry – Automatic operation can be combined with reception-controlled or access-controlled release where entry needs to be authorised before the door opens.

Radar & Automatic Door Sensors

Radar and motion sensors can provide hands-free activation by detecting users as they approach an automatic entrance. Correctly positioned sensors allow doors to open automatically when required and close again after the user has passed through.

Activation and safety sensors are selected according to the door type, operating environment and expected pedestrian traffic, helping provide convenient and reliable automatic operation.

Covid‑Safe Touchless & Contactless Door Activation

Automatic doors can incorporate touchless activation devices such as wave sensors, allowing users to open the door without physically pressing a push button.

Contactless activation is particularly useful for healthcare, education, accessible entrances and other high-traffic environments where convenience, hygiene and ease of use are important considerations.

Depending on the entrance requirements, activation can be combined with access control, card or fob readers and other security devices so that automatic operation and controlled access work together as one integrated system.

Automatic Door Safety & BS EN 16005

Safety is an essential consideration when designing and installing automatic pedestrian doors. Mere UK installs automatic door systems with appropriate activation and safety devices selected around the entrance, its users and the way the door operates.

Our engineers consider opening and closing movements, pedestrian traffic, activation methods, safety sensors and the surrounding environment when designing and commissioning an automatic door installation.

Systems are installed and commissioned with reference to the applicable requirements of BS EN 16005 for power-operated pedestrian doors, helping provide safe and reliable operation for users of the building.

Who We Serve

• Healthcare (NHS) – Hands-free entry for clinical safety and hygiene.

• Education – Secure access control and emergency lockdown integration

• Commercial & Industrial – Contactless entry preserving building climate and safety.

Installation of access control doors, hands free contactless systems and keypad options available. Fully Guaranteed and Certified Installers covering the Northwest of England. Serving the NHS, Local Councils, Business and Industry since 2010.

1. Any manual commercial door can be adapted and automated to be touchless / contactless access control door.

2. Any Automatic doors which have push pads, can be swapped for touchless / non-contact type activation.

3. If there is a requirement for the door to be automated, but the activation is by security or reception personel, we have these options available. It maybe you need to only let one person into an area at a time or limit the amount of time inside, again this can be achieved.
