Which Automatic Door System Is Right for Your Project?
Which Automatic Door System Is Right for Your Project?
Select your building type, project priorities and entrance requirements. We will recommend the most suitable NS Motion system in under two minutes.
The wrong entrance system costs more than the right one.
Compliance risk
Incorrect specification can create DDA, fire safety and EN 16005 compliance issues that are expensive to resolve after installation.
Poor performance
A door that cannot handle the traffic volume, environmental conditions or security requirements of the building will fail faster and cost more to maintain.
Design compromise
Choosing from a catalogue rather than engineering around the building leads to entrance solutions that never quite fit the architecture.

When to choose a full entrance system instead of just a door.
NS Motion does not simply install automatic doors. We design, manufacture and install complete entrance packages that include aluminium framing, curtain walling, glazed shopfronts and integrated automation, all delivered as a single coordinated project.
For architects and main contractors, that means one point of responsibility for the entire entrance zone. No split accountability, no coordination gaps between trades, and a higher quality result than specifying the door and the framing separately.

What architects and contractors ask us most.
It depends on footfall, entrance width, security requirements and architectural intent. For most standard commercial entrances, an automatic sliding door such as the Doorson 300 is the default choice. For premium corporate arrivals, a curved sliding system may be more appropriate. NS Motion can advise based on your specific brief.
Automatic swing doors are better suited to narrower openings, retrofit applications and internal doorways where there is insufficient side space for a sliding panel to stack. They are commonly specified in healthcare, education and office buildings.
Yes. Fire-rated sliding doors such as the Doorson 500F are designed for environments requiring fire compartmentation alongside everyday automatic access. They operate normally during standard use and close automatically on alarm activation.
All NS Motion systems can integrate with key card, fob, intercom, smartphone, timed opening, BMS and emergency override controls. We design and install the automation and access control as a single coordinated system.
Yes. We design and manufacture bespoke aluminium entrance and facade systems in-house, including shopfronts, curtain walling and complete entrance packages. We control the full process from design through to installation.
Yes. Every system we supply is installed by our own team and supported with ongoing maintenance. There are no subcontractors. That gives clients a single point of responsibility for design, manufacture, installation and servicing.
Key considerations include expected footfall, entrance dimensions, DDA and fire compliance requirements, security needs, thermal performance, and whether the entrance is standalone or part of a wider facade package. NS Motion offers project consultations to help specifiers make the right decision.
Yes. NS Motion specialises in delivering complete entrance zones that integrate automatic door automation within aluminium framing, curtain walling and glazed shopfronts. This reduces coordination risk and delivers a higher quality result.
