We were called to site to give advice on the side entrance to the council offices as they had existing issues with the door –

• Existing operator only opening one door and limited spare parts expensive
• Door difficult to open manually
• Impossible for a person in a wheelchair to open and gain access into the building
• Door not always closing causing a security issue, due to wind loading
• Person had to manually lock / unlock the doors twice a day and damage had occurred to the doors when this had not taken place.

From our free on-site survey and discussions with the end user the following advice was provided –
• Specify a high usage operator to open automatically for every user all day, everyday
• Install new access control system controlled by reception with access cards for all staff
• Install automatic electronic locking system integrated into the new automatic door operator for out of hours operation which would lock at certain times and be controlled remotely
• Reuse existing safety sensors to reduce costs as working correctly
