Public Toilet Doors
Steel toilet doors for public conveniences
A public toilet door is a vandal-resistant steel doorset with timed, coin, contactless or free-entry control, made for council, park, town-centre and transport-hub conveniences. DoorTechnik designs and manufactures the U15, UL15, T15+ and T15 steel toilet doors in the UK, made to measure for new toilet blocks and for refurbishment programmes, with the level of automation each site needs.
Which public toilet door do I need?
| Door | Entry control | Payment | Timed use | Night lockdown | Locking | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U15 Ultimate | Paid or free entry, selectable by time of day | Coin (5p to 2 pounds) and contactless card or mobile | Yes - 15 minutes as standard, adjustable | Yes, with occupancy detection | Electric, contactless sensor or illuminated button | Unattended town-centre, park and amenity-site toilets that need revenue and full control |
| UL15 Ultimate Lite | Paid entry | Coin and contactless; RADAR key option | No time limit | Yes, adjustable timeswitch | Electric, lock/unlock button inside | Paid conveniences that need a simpler, lower-cost door |
| T15+ Basic Plus | Free during the day, locked at night | None | No | Yes, adjustable timeswitch | Electric, released by the internal lever | Free-to-use toilets that must be secured overnight |
| T15 Basic | Free, no control | None | No | No | Mechanical lock with vacant/engaged indicator | Attended or staffed sites where entry control is not needed |
All four doors are built from 1.5mm steel leaf and frame with internal reinforcing, a service deadlock to take a cubicle out of use, and a choice of powder-coated finishes. The U15 and UL15 have a DDA-compliant low, non-slip threshold; the U15 adds an anti-finger-trap hinge stile, a concealed closer, an internal instruction screen and audible messages for visually impaired users.
Public toilets have commonly been areas targeted by vandals. Local councils in particular have an interest in keeping the public conveniences clean and crime-free, and providing a pleasant experience for the user. In response to the needs of local authorities, DoorTechnik have created a range of steel toilet doors to address these concerns.
Suitable for use on new build toilet blocks, or as part of a planned refurbishment programme, the DoorTechnik toilet door range offers several levels of cubicle control and automation, and several finishes, to suit the building and local environment.

Frequently asked questions
What type of door is best for a public toilet?
A steel doorset is vandal-resistant, takes electric locking, and is easily cleaned. Entry control is chosen to suit the site, so can be: paid (U15, UL15), free with night lockdown (T15+), or a basic mechanical lock (T15). All of the toilet door models may be fitted with a RADAR lock for free entry to holders of the National Key Scheme standard key.
What is the standard size for a public toilet door?
Our standard U15 unisex toilet doorset is 1120mm wide by 2185mm high overall, giving a clear opening of about 782mm by 2026mm; the DDA version is 1285mm by 2185mm overall with a clear opening of about 947mm by 2026mm. All doors are made to measure. Contact us to check minimum structural opening sizes, and to confirm clear openings against Part M.
What is a toilet door called?
A public toilet door is also called a public convenience door, a WC door or a cubicle door. In a public convenience it is usually a full doorset - a steel leaf and frame with its own lock - rather than a partition cubicle door. DoorTechnik calls them toilet doorsets.
How do coin-entry toilet doors work?
The user pays by coin or contactless card at the external display and the door unlocks. Inside, a lock/unlock button secures the cubicle. On the U15 a timer limits usage to 15 minutes as standard, after which the door re-locks when the user leaves. The doors count users and revenue, have an assistance alarm, and staff can unlock with the service key or by turning off the power.
