Keeping Your Pedestrian Doors Secure, Operational & Compliant
Servicing & Maintenance
BGS provide both scheduled and responsive maintenance for pedestrian and personnel doors across all commercial and industrial sectors. This includes routine servicing to keep doors in optimal working condition and compliant with relevant standards, such as BS EN 16005 for automatic doors and fire safety requirements for fire-rated personnel doors. Our engineers carry out detailed checks on hinges, closers, locks, seals, access control hardware, and automation components. Any signs of wear, misalignment, or mechanical failure are addressed proactively.
Repairs & Adjustments
BGS carry out all types of repairs to pedestrian and personnel doors, from minor adjustments to full component replacements. This includes fixing faulty locking systems, broken panic bars, worn hinges, damaged door leafs, failed automatic openers, or fire door non-compliance issues. The repair work is carried out quickly and in line with safety standards, ensuring the door is restored to full function with minimal disruption to the business. Emergency repairs are available nationwide at any time of day or night, helping clients avoid downtime and maintain secure access.
Supply & Installation
BGS supply and install new pedestrian and personnel doors, typically when a door is beyond economic repair or as part of a new build or refurbishment project. We offer a comprehensive range of commercial-grade door options, including steel security doors, fire-rated personnel doors, emergency exit doors, and pedestrian doors with integrated access control or automation. Installations are tailored to each site’s operational, fire safety, and access requirements. All doors are sourced and fitted to specification, tested for compliance, and integrated with existing systems where applicable.
Upgrades & Automation
BGS provide upgrade services for existing pedestrian and personnel doors, including automation, where applicable. This includes retrofitting automatic operators to manual pedestrian doors, upgrading access control systems, or replacing outdated components with more efficient, high-performance alternatives. Automation upgrades can involve the integration of motion sensors, push-button controls, maglocks, or other electric locking mechanisms. These upgrades are designed to improve accessibility, workflow efficiency, and security, especially in high-traffic or restricted-access areas.
Our Process: Simple, Efficient, and Hassle-Free
1.
Site Visit & Assessment:
A qualified BGS engineer visits the premises to carry out a thorough inspection of your pedestrian or personnel doors. This includes assessing the condition, functionality, and performance of the doors. The engineer gathers all relevant information, and based on his/her findings, they recommend the most suitable solution for your doors and facility. For new installations, the engineer evaluates the site layout and usage requirements to ensure the right door type and configuration are proposed.
2.
Recommendation & Quotation:
Following the on-site assessment and initial consultation, BGS provide a clear and professional recommendation outlining the necessary works. This includes detailed notes on compliance issues (such as fire safety or accessibility), suggested improvements, and any optional upgrades. A transparent, no-obligation quotation is issued with a breakdown of all costs, timelines, and any considerations for operational downtime, where relevant.
3.
Works Carried Out:
Once the quote is approved by the client, a project manager is allocated. The project manager schedules the work and dispatches qualified engineers to carry it out to the highest standard. All works, from routine maintenance checks to emergency repairs, are completed using tried and tested techniques and following recognised industry best practices, in accordance with relevant standards such as BS EN 16005, fire safety regulations, and access control requirements.
4.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Support:
Once the work is complete and all necessary checks and tests are carried out, we provide clear documentation detailing all the work carried out, giving the client a formal record for regulatory, insurance, or audit purposes. Any relevant findings or outcomes relating to compliance are also documented, such as certificated issued or corrective actions required or taken. Clients also receive practical recommendations for ongoing maintenance to help prevent future problems.

CASE STUDIES
TESTIMONIALS
We had an issue with one of our main entrance doors, completely stopped working during a busy trading day. BGS were on-site within a couple of hours. They managed to get the door working on the first visit, engineer even took the time to check the rest of doors to make sure they were working as they should. Great experience overall, special thanks to the engineer that attended.
ANDREW JONES | OPERATIONS MANAGER | BOURNEMOUTH ARCADE
We’ve been struggling with a heavy manual door at our office building for years. BGS recommended upgrading it, making it power-assisted, rather than replacing the entire door, which saved us a lot of time and money. Glad we called BGS, excellent service from start to finish.
DESMOND DOMINEY | OFFICE MANAGER | CLEARWATER
We needed to replace four standard exit doors with fire-rated disabled exit doors before a building inspection. The team at BGS handled everything professionally and kept us updated throughout the process. The job was completed on time without any issues, and we passed the inspection with no concerns. A special thanks to the team at BGS Luton for all their hard work.
