Automatic shop doors in Alnwick
If your Alnwick door is on an escape route, we match the door set-up to your fire risk assessment before anything is ordered.
Shops across Northumberland with a sound hinged door may only need a swing operator, so we check your Alnwick door before suggesting a full replacement. Power supply is easy to overlook, so we check where a fused spur can reach the door header at your Alnwick premises in Northumberland.
Work in Alnwick is run from Birmingham, roughly 199 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Alnwick work takes in NE65, NE66, NE67. Neighbouring Morpeth and Ashington are covered too.

What does it cost in Alnwick?
Automatic shop doors usually cost £2,495 to £5,495 ex VAT per entrance, supplied and fitted. Door type, opening width, glass, and whether the frame is new or existing set the range. Break-out leaves, battery backup, access control and power supply work add to it. Manufacturers' warranties cover the motor and controls, and regular servicing is worth budgeting for.
Customers with bags, buggies or walking aids find a powered door easier, which can help your Alnwick shop meet its duty to make adjustments. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Alnwick job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you cover Alnwick?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Alnwick and across Northumberland, including NE65, NE66, NE67. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
How often do automatic shop doors need servicing?
Follow the manufacturer's instructions, which usually ask for at least one service a year, with more visits on very busy doors. Keep a record of each visit. BS EN 16005 expects safety features to be maintained, and your insurer may also ask for proof.
Are automatic doors required under the Equality Act?
No, not in themselves. The Equality Act 2010 asks service providers in England, Scotland and Wales to make reasonable adjustments, and Northern Ireland uses the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. A powered door is one way to remove a physical barrier at your entrance.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Alnwick?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
