Electronic front door

ConantheLibrarian profile image

I want to install an automatic front door to my maisonette, which I own. I don't know if I need a completely new front door or an electric opening system fitted to my existing front door. Can anyone recommend a firm that does this?

I don't really have any business recommendation because I think it depends where you live in the country so it might be worth looking on Checkatrade. However mine was fitted on my existing door. I think it might depend on how heavy the door is?!

🙂 I googled ‘domestic automatic opening front doors’..and several links came up..this is an example

It’s best to have this done by a reputable company, bearing in mind the need for standby power supply batteries in case mains fail, and call-out may be needed in case of a fault.

It depends on what type of electronic lock you are going to install. On the market can be found high-tech locks that require doors with specific functions. Cheaper electronic locks that can be found on eBay, Amazon, or Home Depot are easier to install and the type of the door plays no role.

No matter what type of lock you will choose emergency locksmith e11(welocksmith.co.uk/locksmith... will install it fast and qualitatively. The cost for the labor work will be about £175 to £200.

Thanks
