The site had an existing steel security door that had become increasingly difficult to operate. Due to age, wear, and distortion, the door required excessive force to open and close, creating usability issues for staff while still serving as a key secure access point.

Following inspection, the door was assessed as beyond economical repair. Continued maintenance was unlikely to deliver a reliable or safe long-term solution.

The client required the removal of existing timber doors and frames that were no longer compliant with current fire safety standards. New FD30 fire-rated door sets were needed to improve fire protection within the building.

The existing automatic swing door no longer met current best-practice safety guidance. In addition, the door had become warped over time, preventing it from operating correctly and reliably.

As the building is used by members of the public, including potentially vulnerable users, improving safety and compliance was a key priority.

The site experienced an ongoing issue where the automatic swing entrance door repeatedly failed to operate correctly during periods of high wind.

Due to the positioning of the entrance, the area created a wind tunnel effect. This caused the door to stall, reverse unexpectedly, or enter fault mode. As a result, the building experienced frequent call-outs, disruption for users, and unreliable entrance access.

The client had existing automatic swing doors that were still functional but had become outdated. While the doors continued to operate, their safety systems no longer met modern expectations, creating a need for improved compliance and reliability.

Replacing the entire door system would have been costly, so the client was looking for a practical solution that would improve safety while extending the lifespan of the existing doors.

The client required reliable operation of their automatic entrance doors in a busy healthcare environment where patients, staff, and visitors rely on continuous access throughout the day.

In this type of setting, door downtime is not acceptable, as it can disrupt movement within the facility and create potential safety concerns.

The client required a reliable long-term maintenance solution to ensure their automatic doors remained safe, operational, and compliant. As the property was a busy office complex, minimising unexpected breakdowns was essential.

During trading hours, the client experienced a sudden failure of their main entrance doors. This restricted customer access to the store and immediately raised health and safety concerns.

The client required a safe and reliable way to open their entrance door independently due to mobility limitations.
