London · Greater London
Avanti Doors has completed documented commercial door work across London — swing door automation in EC1, roller shutter replacement in Central London, automated bi-folding gates in Wandsworth and a gate overhaul in South London — and can quote for planned maintenance and scheduled installation work at suitable Greater London sites.
Commercial door priorities in London
Priorities shaped by the commercial sites, operating patterns and access constraints Avanti is set up to support across London.
For City of London building and facilities managers
For retail and commercial property managers
For security, estate and controlled-access managers
Local commercial door specialists
Commercial door support for London sites, industrial estates and managed facilities.
Avanti Doors can point to five documented London projects: automating a set of existing steel doors at a commercial site in EC1, replacing a non-compliant roller shutter in Central London, fitting a new double-glazed aluminium entrance with automatic swing operators in East Central London, installing automated bi-folding security gates at a Shurgard self-storage yard in Wandsworth, and carrying out a full mechanical and electrical overhaul of a sliding automatic gate in South London.
The EC1 swing door automation was completed outside normal working hours so the entrance remained available during the day. The scope included Dorma ED250A and ED100 operators, BEA4Safe safety sensors, battery backups and an accessible toilet kit, commissioned against BS EN 16005 safety-in-use requirements. The Central London roller shutter replaced a unit described in the project record as non-compliant, with a PPC finish, integrated wicket door and anti-fall safety brake; the work was scheduled around trading hours. The South London gate overhaul — new wheel assemblies, anti-tilt rollers, a new control panel and safety edges — was completed in two working days.
The linked project pages record the equipment and completed scope for each job. They give facilities teams a concrete starting point when discussing a similar entrance, shutter or controlled-access requirement in London.
We are straightforward about geography. Avanti Doors is based in West Lynn, near King’s Lynn, and London sits at the outer edge of our travel range. That shapes how work is structured: London is primarily project-, scheduled-maintenance- and contract-led rather than presented as an “engineer round the corner” service.
For installations, refurbishments and automation projects, the work is surveyed, specified, scheduled and delivered on agreed dates, as the documented EC1 and Central London installations were. For servicing, planned maintenance agreements let visits be grouped efficiently across a portfolio. For faults, the team confirms what attendance is practical against the postcode, urgency and current route; contracted response targets apply only where they are written into the individual agreement.
Managed offices, retail frontages and shared service yards can combine high footfall with landlord, access and reporting requirements. BS EN 16005 sets safety-in-use requirements for power-operated pedestrian doorsets; the applicable maintenance and testing scope depends on the equipment, its use, the site risk assessment and current guidance. The documented Central London shutter project also shows a case where Avanti replaced equipment described in the project record as non-compliant.
A planned maintenance arrangement helps keep that risk visible. A mixed London estate — one manufacturer’s operators at the front entrance, another’s shutters on the loading bay and a different gate system on the car park — can be surveyed and scoped under one servicing schedule, with consistent documentation for landlords, insurers and building managers.
If you have a London installation project, a portfolio that needs a maintenance agreement, or a door, shutter or gate fault, send the door types, site addresses and photographs if you have them. The team will confirm any survey requirements before preparing the quotation, and larger projects can be programmed around the building’s access constraints, including out-of-hours working where agreed.

Common questions
Quick answers for facilities managers planning repairs, maintenance or new door work.
Yes — documented recent projects include automating steel doors with Dorma operators at an EC1 site, replacing a non-compliant roller shutter in Central London, installing a new aluminium door set with automatic swing operators in East Central London, installing automated bi-folding security gates at a Shurgard self-storage site in Wandsworth, and a full sliding gate overhaul in South London completed in two working days.
Yes. Our EC1 swing door automation project was deliberately carried out outside normal hours to avoid disrupting building users — a common requirement for City of London offices, retail frontages and managed buildings where daytime closure of an entrance is not acceptable.
Call with the postcode, door type and operational risk and the team will confirm the available attendance route. Because our base is in Norfolk, London faults are assessed against travel and current availability; contracted response targets apply only where they are agreed in writing for the sites covered.
Yes. A London portfolio can be surveyed and grouped into planned servicing visits across sites in the City, Docklands, South London and Greater London. For power-operated pedestrian doors, the agreed safety and maintenance scope should take account of the system, risk assessment and applicable BS EN 16005 requirements.
