Bespoke Door Solutions for Sports & Leisure Facilities

Bespoke Door Solutions for Sports & Leisure Facilities

Sports and leisure facilities are demanding environments. High levels of daily use, large equipment, busy public spaces and specialist access requirements mean standard doors are not always the right solution. We manufacture bespoke aluminium and stainless steel doors, security doors, and louvres for leisure centres, sports halls, gyms, and other sports and leisure facilities, with solutions designed around the individual application. From specialist sports hall doors and emergency exits to oversized storage doors and plant room access, we can provide durable solutions designed to withstand demanding environments and perform for the long term.

Supporting Sports & Leisure Facilities

Our experience within the leisure sector includes providing bespoke doors for a variety of applications, including:

• Sports halls and gymnasiums
• Emergency and personnel exits
• Large sports equipment storage
• Plant and utility rooms
• Electrical substations and switch rooms
• External storage areas
• Service and maintenance access
• Bin and waste stores
• Bespoke ventilation and louvres
• Security-sensitive areas

Whether part of a new leisure development or the refurbishment of an existing facility, our doors can be manufactured around the opening, usage and specific requirements of the project.

Specialist Sports Hall Doors

Sports halls present a unique challenge. Doors need to provide safe and reliable access while also coping with frequent use and the impact associated with indoor sport. TS Designs has developed a bespoke sports hall doorset specifically for these environments, with specialist internal rebound protection helping to protect the doors and hardware from ball impact. This provides a robust, practical solution for sports halls while retaining the long-term benefits of our maintenance-free aluminium construction.

Bespoke Storage & Emergency Exit Solutions



Sports and leisure facilities often have unusual storage and access requirements that cannot be met by standard-sized doors. Our bespoke manufacturing capability allows us to produce large and non-standard doorsets for sports equipment and storage areas, including oversized access for equipment such as trampolines and other large sporting apparatus. We can also provide new and replacement emergency exit doors, with appropriate panic hardware, locking and access requirements designed around the facility.

Proven Leisure Experience

TS Designs has an established track record within the leisure sector, supplying bespoke doors for sports halls, emergency exits, storage areas and wider infrastructure applications. This experience allows us to understand the practical demands placed on doors within busy sports and leisure environments and develop solutions around how the facility is actually used.

Maintenance-Free, Fit-and-Forget

Leisure facilities are already expensive and time-consuming to maintain. Doors should not add unnecessary ongoing maintenance. Our aluminium and stainless steel doors will not rust, rot or warp and require no routine painting, providing a maintenance-free, fit-and-forget solution. With a virtually limitless lifespan and a 20-year warranty on the door leaf and frame, our products can help reduce reactive maintenance, repeated repairs and whole-life ownership costs.

Designed Around the Application

From a sports hall requiring specialist rebound protection to an oversized equipment store or new emergency exit, our strength is our ability to design around the application rather than make the application fit the product. TS Designs can work with leisure operators, local authorities, contractors, architects, consultants and specifiers to develop bespoke door solutions that meet the practical demands of modern sports and leisure facilities.
