Automatic Door Locks: Auto-Latching, Motorised and Sensor Systems, Gates and Offices, Power Backup and Safety
Automatic door locks lock the door by themselves when it closes, or open and close it with a motor or a sensor. They are used on smart home doors, office entrances and sliding gates where locking by hand is easy to forget. The system, the power backup and the fire exit rules decide what is allowed. We do not hold a verified rate for these systems. This guide covers types, power, safety and how to get a quote. See also smart door locks.
Types
Auto-latching locks lock when closed, motorised locks drive a bolt and sensor systems open for a card or a remote.
Where they are used
Homes, offices, gates and shops use them for convenience and security.
Power and backup
Choose a lock with a battery or backup power and a mechanical key, so that a power cut does not trap anyone or lock you out.
Fire and exit rules
Exit routes must open from inside. Check building rules before fitting. See electromagnetic door locks.

How we quote
Send the room size, a sketch or photo and the finish you like. We confirm what we can supply and reply with a written rate that lists every item. Before you order, confirm the exact size or model, ask for the specification and warranty in writing, and compare totals including fitting and delivery rather than the item price alone. To get a close first estimate, clear the area, mark sockets, switches and pipe positions, note the ceiling height and photograph the space from two corners.
