Installation, Maintenance & Aftercare

A security sliding door is only as effective as its installation. Warrior Doors experienced installers ensure your stainless steel sliding door is correctly fitted, commissioned and tested.

Our service typically includes:
• Site survey and measurement
• Design and technical drawings for approval
• Manufacture at our Birmingham facility
• Delivery and installation by our trained installers
• Commissioning, testing and handover

We offer tailored servicing plans for security sliding doors to ensure optimal performance, smooth operation and long-term reliability. Regular maintenance helps prevent wear, reduces downtime and extends the life of all stainless steel components and glazing systems.

Preventative maintenance visits can be arranged annually, bi-annually or quarterly depending on the usage and security level of your entrance. Our engineers inspect door alignment, sliding mechanisms, locks, glazing, seals and access control integrations.

In the event of damage, vandalism or operational issues, our team can provide rapid support. We work with trusted nationwide partners to minimise disruption and restore entrance security as quickly as possible.

We can supply and fit genuine replacement parts including locks, rollers, guides, sensors and glazing units. We also offer upgrade options for access control, automatic operators and enhanced security hardware.

Our inspections include safety sensor testing, smooth operational checks, access control verification and general compliance with relevant building and safety standards. Full documentation can be supplied following each visit.

Why Choose a Sliding Door Instead of a Swing Door?

• Saves space – no door leaf swinging into busy circulation routes
• Works well with automation and access control
• Ideal for constant two-way traffic through a single opening
• Reduces draughts and slamming issues at exposed entrances

Sliding Security Door

Harder to Break In

A single-leaf sliding security door removes the hinge side entirely, eliminating one of the most common break-in methods.

Saves Space in Tight Entrances

The single sliding leaf moves sideways, meaning no door leaf opens into circulation routes — ideal for communal entrances, retail units and high-traffic public buildings, without losing strength

Works Seamlessly With Automation

Sliding doors integrate naturally with automatic operators, sensors and access control systems for smooth, effortless entry.

Handles High Two-Way Footfall

People can pass in and out continuously without waiting for a door to open or close, making sliding entrances ideal for busy lobbies.

Quiet, Controlled Operation

Sliding mechanisms avoid slamming, whiplash and wind-catching — especially important on exposed or wind-facing sites.

Modern, Clean Aesthetic

The fully glazed, stainless-steel framed design creates a sleek, contemporary entrance that feels open, welcoming and secure.

Swing Door

Susceptible to Common Attack

Susceptible to hinge pin attack, hinge side levering and frame distortion around the hinges

Requires a Full Opening Arc

Swing doors need clearance into or out of the building, which can block circulation routes and reduce usable entrance space.
The door also generally needs to be lighter to not weaken hinge

Less Suitable for Automation

While can be automated, they rely on arm mechanisms which can feel slower, more intrusive and require more maintenance.

Bottlenecks During Busy Periods

Only one direction of travel is practical at a time, causing queues or hesitation at high footfall entrances.

Affected by Wind & Air Pressure

Swing leaves can catch in the wind or slam shut, creating noise, safety concerns and wear on hinges and closers.

Traditional Appearance

Swing doors offer a classic look, but don’t deliver the modern, streamlined front-of-house style preferred for high-end communal, commercial or public buildings
