Power goes down. Door still closes. 💪 The FACE Automatic Doors SW70S…

Built for swing doors a standard operator won't hold, up to 300kg at a 0.8m leaf, with an integrated spring that closes the door on its own if the supply goes. No power, no problem, the door still shuts.

Underneath is a FACE brushless motor with up to ten times the life of a standard DC motor, running quieter and needing less maintenance with it. Opening angle goes to 170°, open and close times run 2–6 seconds, and parameters can be set to low energy mode fully compliant with Annex F of EN 16005 for applications running without safety sensors. USB port for setup and diagnostics, 40Nm rated load and a slim 70mm-deep housing that suits retrofit work where there's no room to play with.

Double leaf? Two SW70S units synchronise via a software setting, no extra hardware needed, though a mechanical synchroniser is available if you'd rather.

In stock. Order by 2pm for next-day delivery.

Tight headroom on a shopfront job and no space above the automation? 📐

That's where the LABEL ETERNA range earns its keep. At just 100mm tall the whole range runs slim, and the ETERNA 90 mounts flush to the ceiling, no packing out, no compromise on the finish.

Underneath that profile is a digital brushless motor tested beyond 2,000,000 cycles and rated for 100% intensive use, so it'll keep pace on a busy entrance without complaint. ✅

LABEL trust it enough to put a 6-year warranty on the gearmotor.

Three versions cover the job: ETERNA 90 for lightweight sliding doors, ETERNA 150 for sliding leaves up to 200kg single-leaf, and ETERNA-T 300 for telescopic. Clear passages run 700–3000mm across the range, opening at up to 1 m/sec and drawing just 6W on standby.

📱 Set-up and diagnostics run through the NFC slimline selector, LCD or Android phone, your choice.

🚪 Low energy or full power, decided on site rather than at the order stage.

The Gilgen FD20 carries both operating modes in the same electromechanical drive, freely selectable. So a low-energy application and a fully automatic entrance can be specified from the same unit, one product code to hold, one set of arms to stock, one commissioning process to learn.

It handles single and double leaf doors up to 250kg, with closing force adjustable across EN 3-7 to suit leaf width under EN 1154. Back check and adjustable hold-open are built in, and the program selector sits on the operator itself, so mode changes don't depend on an external switch unless the spec calls for one.

Commissioning is straightforward. Terminals for locks, safety elements and control devices are on board, voltage-free outputs feed acknowledgements back to a building management system via the relay PCB, and firmware updates run over USB, the unit stays current years into its service life rather than being frozen at whatever shipped in the box.

Specifying one? Our team can talk through arm selection, reveal depths and sensor pairing before you place the order.

One laser sensor. Threshold and sidescreen safety on a sliding door, covered.🛡️

Sliding-door safety usually means separate sensors for the threshold and the sidescreen. The BEA ORASCAN does both in one.

✓ Laser scanning across both the threshold (where people cross) and the sidescreen (the fixed panel the door slides behind)
✓ One unit instead of two — fewer parts to mount, wire and commission
✓ Reliable detection that helps the door sign off cleanly under BS EN 16005
✓ Ideal for retail, healthcare and high-footfall automatic sliding entrances

Fewer sensors, one commissioning job, full coverage, a tidy way to get a compliant sliding door over the line.

In stock at Insight. Talk to the team if you’re not sure it’s the right sensor for the door.

🇮🇹 Italian-built, brushless and made for intensive use. Say hello to FACE Automatic Doors.

Another name worth knowing on the shelf at Insight: FACE, the Italian manufacturer behind some of the most reliable swing and sliding operators we stock.

What sets them apart starts with the motors. FACE run brushless, which means up to ten times the service life of a traditional DC motor, with less noise, less wear and less maintenance to worry about down the line.

Behind that sits a 32-bit electronic control with an alphanumeric display and keypad, so set-up is quick and on-site diagnostics are clear rather than guesswork. There's USB parameter storage too, clone the settings straight onto a replacement board and you're done, no reprogramming from scratch.

It's built for intensive use, retrofits easily onto existing doors for barrier-free access, and it's TÜV certified and designed around BS EN 16005.

Whatever the application calls for, there's a FACE operator that fits it and we stock the range for next-day.

👉 Ask the team which FACE operator suits your door.

The workhorse of swing-gate automation. Meet the Ditec PWR. 🔩

If you're automating a standard swing gate, the PWR is the operator you'll reach for most.

✓ 24V linear ram — powers leaves up to 800 kg and 5 m
✓ Suited to standard piers, single or double leaf
✓ Low-voltage 24V running, with battery back-up options for gates that must open in a power cut
✓ Robust enough for daily-cycle residential and light-commercial sites
✓ Pairs with Ditec control and safety accessories for a full compliant install

It’s the reliable, no-drama choice for the majority of swing-gate jobs — and it’s on the shelf here. Send us the leaf weight, length and pier detail and we’ll confirm the fit.

In stock. Order by 2pm for next-day delivery, anywhere on mainland UK.

💬 You can only say "we're easy to deal with" so many times, it lands better from a customer.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Excellent Company. Been supplying me with automatic door and automatic gate motors, sensors and other equipment for years."

Years of it, across doors and gates, that's what we're here for: independent advice, deep stock on the kit you actually fit and a supplier that's still picking up the phone job after job.

Worked with us lately? A quick Google review genuinely helps and we read every one.

🎯 Four red dots on the floor, and the guesswork disappears.

Aligning an infrared safety curtain has traditionally meant walking the threshold, watching an LED, and adjusting on faith. The BEA Sensors Europe IXIO-ST projects four visible red alignment spots onto the ground so you can see exactly where the curtains are landing before you tighten anything down.

Behind that, it's two 24-spot high-density infrared curtains covering the clear opening and the side-lite, the area where most contact liability actually sits on a sliding door installation. Setup and fault-finding run through a menu-driven LCD on the sensor itself, with quick or assisted setup depending on how much configuration the site calls for.

It's fully monitored internally and capable of external monitoring, with a visible LED confirming the link back to the door control. Response time is under 200ms, and it runs on 12–24V AC or 12–30V DC, so it drops into most existing sliding door installations without a supply headache.

Worth noting this is a safety sensor. If you need activation as well, the IXIO-DT is the one to ask about.

🚧 Some piers just won't take a ram. Too wide, too shallow, or a leaf that's gone out of plumb over the years and a linear operator can't reach or won't sit true.

That's where Ditec FACIL earns its place. A 24V articulated arm built for lighter swing gates up to 2.3m wide, or up to 300kg on shorter leaves, and it copes happily with out-of-plumb verticals where a ram would fight you.

The virtual encoder gives constant obstacle detection and adjustable impact force, the ABS casing shrugs off the weather, and the control panel's built in, so install and future maintenance are a lot less fiddly. Lose power? Key-operated release at the front, or add a DEB04 cord for remote release without opening the casing.

24V, IP54, in stock. Send us the leaf weight, width and pier and we'll confirm it's the right fit.

Meet Terry Newton, our Internal Sales Advisor. 👋

If you've ever rung up half-sure which operator or sensor you needed, odds are Terry's the one who sorted it.

Most calls that come into Insight don't start with a part number. They start with a description of a problem, a door that won't hold open, a sensor that's dropped out, an operator nobody can identify because the label went years ago.

Terry's had all of it, and he'll still find you the right unit. That's because he knows the ranges inside out, and the crossovers between them, ensuring you get the right part first time, not the closest guess.

Got a query, or something that's proving difficult? Give Terry a call. He'll work it out with you and get the job back on track.
