ADIA membership subscriptions vary depending on your company type. Please refer to our Join Us page for detailed cost information.

If you are part of a company that works on or closely with automatic doors on a regular basis or if you have transferable skills that can be applied to automatic doors, we recommend seeking product training from your company. We also advise that your company becomes a member and that you study the BS EN16005 to familiarise yourself with working with automatic doors. We offer courses that can help develop your skills.

However, if you are a sole trader (working independently) who has no knowledge or automatic door skills, we cannot accept you as a member if you have no prior experience in automatic door practice. It is advisable for you to seek training and employment from an automatic door installer or supplier to gain experience in working with automatic doors. Once you have gained experience, you can apply for membership and have your staff, including yourself, take the BS EN16005 certification.

We actively promote our members to various organisations including architects, councils, contractors, etc. We inform them about the safety standards of BS EN16005 and emphasise the importance of ensuring their automatic doors are installed and maintained by a DoorSafe engineer.

To join the ADIA, simply complete the application form that corresponds to your company description (Installer, Sole Trader, Supplier). After submitting the application, you will receive an invoice. Once we receive payment, your membership will be confirmed. Please review the terms and conditions.

Once you have made your first subscription payment (and subsequent renewals after your certificate has expired), your membership will officially begin. We will add you to our databases and send you your membership within 48 hours of receiving payment.

Installers’ membership is valid for a minimum of 24 months, and their certificate is updated annually. Sole traders and Suppliers pay for membership and certificate renewal on an annual basis.

• You can join the ADIA if you fall into any of the following categories:

• Individuals or companies involved in fitting automatic doors

• Individuals or companies involved in maintaining and servicing automatic doors

• Individuals or companies involved in building or selling automatic door components

• Facilities management companies that need to study BS EN16005 to address automatic door issues

• Security or access control firms that work directly with or in close proximity to automatic doors

Note: If you are an individual working for an automatic door company and wish to join as a sole trader, you must pay for the services yourself, and it will be your personal membership that is promoted, not your company. This will be reviewed during the application process.
