The single automatic swing automatic door is one drive unit and one control unit fitted under a standard length cover. The most popular Power assisted swing door system in the UK at present.
In head operators sit above the door. This is useful for glass doors or where it’s impractical to mount the unit on the door itself.
We can supply battery backup systems for your automatic swing door. This means you’ll always have means of exit in the event of a power failure.
Automatic swing door operators can also be mounted on the door. This can be beneficial if there’s not enough space above the door.
Automatic swing doors allow smooth, contact-free entry, supporting wheelchair users and pedestrians alike. Their sensor-activated operation meets accessibility expectations for high-traffic commercial environments and helps clients comply with DDA requirements without compromising on performance or reliability.
Integrated safety sensors detect movement and obstacles to prevent accidental contact. Adjustable opening and closing speeds offer precise control, reducing risk of injury and improving user confidence — especially in healthcare, education and care home settings where safety is paramount.
Unlike sliding systems, automatic swing doors work well in tighter spaces and vestibules where sliding tracks may not fit. They can be configured as single or double doors, inward or outward swinging, to suit corridors, lobbies and constrained entrances.
Hands-free activation via motion or presence sensors reduces surface contact, supporting infection control and hygiene standards in environments such as hospitals, food retail and laboratories where touch-points are minimised.
Swing door controls can integrate with access control systems, fire alarms and building management frameworks. This allows doors to react automatically in emergency situations, restricted access periods or security modes, delivering smarter, safer entrances.

Yes, provided the frame and hinges are in good condition and the door width allows for automation.
Low-energy doors open slower with reduced force, making them safer for users. Full-power doors are suited for heavy-duty or frequent use areas.
Yes, most operators include battery backup to ensure emergency egress.
With regular servicing, operators typically last 10–15 years.
Automatic swing doors use a powered door operator and activation devices to open and close the door automatically. Depending on the building and how the entrance is used, systems can be configured with sensors, push pads or access control devices.
Safety sensors help monitor the doorway during operation, while the door controls can also integrate with systems such as access control and fire alarms. J Manny can assess the entrance and recommend a suitable configuration for the building and its intended use.
Automatic swing doors provide convenient, hands-free access while improving accessibility for a wide range of users. They can help reduce contact with door surfaces, making them particularly useful in healthcare, retail and other environments where hygiene is important.
Swing door operators are also a practical solution where space is limited or a sliding door is not suitable, and can be configured for different door types and usage requirements.
Automatic swing doors need to be designed, installed and maintained with safety and accessibility in mind. J Manny’s automatic swing door installations are designed to meet the requirements of BS EN 16005 and BS 7036-0:2014, which cover the safe operation of powered pedestrian doors.

There is no fixed cost for installing an automatic swing door, as each system is specified according to the building, existing door and intended use. Factors such as the door configuration, operator type, condition of an existing door, available space, access control requirements and any additional safety or backup systems can affect the overall cost.
J Manny carries out a site survey to assess the requirements before recommending a suitable system and providing a quotation.
The right automatic swing door operator depends on the existing door, available space, how frequently the door will be used and the requirements of the building. J Manny begins with a site survey to assess factors such as the door and frame condition, available space and usage profile before selecting the appropriate operator and sensor configuration.
Options include single, double, in-head and on-door operators, with additional features such as access control and battery backup available where required.
Put simply, it’s a swinging door that opens by way of machine instead of manually opened by a person.
Commonly a microwave sensor detects an approaching user and tells the door to power to the open position for a clear doorway.
Automatic doors are safe by design. Strict manufacture and installation standards (BS7036 , BS EN16005) allow users the peace of mind that any correctly installed automatic doors is completely safe.
The correct answer is to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. Industry standard usually lends itself to a service every 6 months. Busier doors such as hospitals often require more frequent inspections.
A power assisted automatic swing door activates by pushing or pulling the door, reducing the opening resistance, and assisting the user with heavy doors.
Automatic swing doors require Infra-red “On Door” sensors to scan the sweep of the door as it opens. Microwave motion sensors are often seen mounted above the door to detect the on coming traffic.
