Comech Engineering proudly offers a comprehensive range of disabled access doors designed to fully comply with all lawful requirements, ensuring better and safer access to buildings for people with disabilities across Northern Ireland. Our specialised doors and access solutions help businesses, public institutions, and private premises meet the standards set out by the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all.
The Disability Discrimination Act, introduced to combat discrimination faced by individuals with disabilities, brought in important regulations to improve access within the built environment. Part 3 of the DDA, which became law on 1st October 2004, specifically addresses physical access to buildings. It places a legal duty on service providers—regardless of their size—to make reasonable adjustments to the physical features of their premises, ensuring that barriers to access are removed or minimised.
These regulations apply broadly to anyone providing goods or services to the public, meaning compliance is essential for all sectors, whether public, private, or commercial.
According to the regulations, the term “physical features” encompasses a wide range of elements related to building design and construction. This includes anything from the structure of the building itself to approaches, exits, and routes of access. Specifically, it covers fixtures, fittings, furnishings, equipment, materials, and any other physical aspects of the premises, whether temporary or permanent.
This comprehensive definition means that every element of your building’s access points must be considered when assessing compliance with the DDA, including doors, door closers, ramps, and thresholds.
At Comech Engineering, we understand the critical importance of accessible buildings that serve everyone equally. Whether you are commissioning new construction or adapting an existing property, it is vital to consider the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act to ensure your premises are welcoming and accessible to all.

Suitable for public buildings, private businesses, and workplaces across Northern Ireland, our products provide reliable, durable, and easy-to-use access solutions that support inclusivity.
