Automatic Door for Hospital Ward Environments

Frameshft's automatic door systems carry certifications including TÜV, COC, CE (LVD Directive), DIN18650-1:2010, EN16005, BS EN1026:2000, and BS EN12207:2016. For hospital ward applications, the hermetic door range is specifically certified to BS EN1026 and BS EN12207 for air permeability control, with additional CE and TÜV verification. Standard sliding doors are certified to DIN18650-1:2010 and EN16005. Full certification documentation is provided with every installation to support healthcare procurement requirements.

For most hospital ward corridor applications, Frameshft recommends the automatic sliding door with touchless activation, as it supports hands-free access for staff and patients while maintaining infection control protocols. Where wards connect to sterile zones such as operating theatres or ICUs, hermetic doors with airtight sealing and failsafe motor locking are the appropriate specification. For corridors with narrow header space or wide clear opening requirements, telescopic sliding doors provide a suitable alternative.

Yes. Frameshft's multi-brand repair and servicing capability covers most automatic door operator brands, not only Frameshft systems. This allows hospital facilities managers to consolidate service for a mixed installed base under a single point of contact, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple contractors across different door brands throughout the facility.

Frameshft uses its own in-house installation team rather than subcontractors, which allows for tighter scheduling coordination with hospital operations teams. Site assessments account for ward activity patterns before installation is planned. Because Frameshft manages the entire project lifecycle from design through installation, there is no handover gap between different contractors that could extend on-site time or create accountability issues during a live healthcare environment.

Frameshft recommends structured preventive maintenance under a scheduled inspection programme rather than reactive servicing after faults occur. The appropriate servicing frequency depends on door type, cycle volumes, and the criticality of the ward zone. Frameshft's preventive maintenance packages are designed to detect wear and early faults before they result in unplanned downtime, which is operationally unacceptable in live hospital ward environments. Your in-house technical team will recommend a schedule based on your specific installation.
