Automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit by building type
The buildings in Bronkhorstspruit set the specification more than anything else. These are the starting points we use for each type, before every doorway is confirmed on site.
Retail entrances in Bronkhorstspruit
Shop and centre entrances are judged on two things: they must never stop trading, and they must lock tight at closing. For automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit retailers use, we fit bi-parting sliding doors with a wide clear opening for trolleys and prams, a night lock that throws automatically when the centre closes, and sensors set so that people walking past the shopfront do not keep opening the door and letting the air-conditioning out. Busy entrances get a service interval based on cycles, not months.
Healthcare entrances in Bronkhorstspruit
Healthcare buildings need hands-free entry for patients in wheelchairs, on crutches and on stretchers, and doors that never trap anyone. For automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit clinics and hospitals use, we set slow closing speeds, long hold-open times and a wide sensor field, fit battery backup so the entrance keeps working through load shedding, and use hermetically sealed doors where theatres or isolation rooms need an air seal.
Schools, churches and halls in Bronkhorstspruit
Schools, churches and halls move large numbers of people in a few minutes and then need the entrance controlled. Automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit schools and halls use are usually swing doors with push buttons on halls and classrooms, so staff decide when a door opens, and sliding doors at reception linked to the visitor system.
Office receptions in Bronkhorstspruit
An office reception sees staff, visitors and couriers all day and needs to stay controlled. Automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit offices use are normally sliding doors linked to the building’s card, tag or biometric readers, with a free-entry mode in office hours and controlled entry after hours. The door releases on the fire signal, and it can be set to stay locked during a panic event while still allowing escape from inside.
How we deal with conditions in Bronkhorstspruit
The four things that wear an entrance in Bronkhorstspruit are shown in the first diagram. This is what we do about each of them on automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit.
| Condition in Bronkhorstspruit | What we do |
|---|---|
| Dust | Dust wears tracks, rollers and sensors. We fit brushes and seals, clean the track and lens on every visit and shorten the service interval on dusty sites. |
| Storms | Storms bring wind, driving rain and, inland, hail; coastal sites add salt. We set sensors to ignore blowing leaves, use laminated or toughened safety glass, add surge protection where lightning is common and consider a revolving door where wind drives through a lobby. |
| Month-end queues | A busy entrance can cycle several thousand times a day. We size the operator for the real count, set opening speed for the peak, and service against cycles so wear is caught before it causes a breakdown. |
| Power cuts | Battery backup keeps a door working through load shedding, and every entrance gets a defined power-failure behaviour, open or closed, agreed with the building and its fire strategy. |
Sliding, swing or revolving: choosing automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit
Most entrances in Bronkhorstspruit are one of three types. The right one depends on the opening, the traffic and the people who use the door.
| Door type | Best for | Operator |
|---|---|---|
| Sliding (single or bi-parting) | Busy main entrances, malls, hospitals, offices | MC-125 |
| Telescopic sliding | Wide openings where the wall space is short | MC-125 telescopic |
| Swing | Corridors, toilets, existing doors, low traffic | MCW-100 |
| Revolving | Tall or windy lobbies, energy saving | Revolving system |
| Hermetic sliding | Theatres, laboratories, clean rooms | Hermetic system |
Sliding doors move the most people and suit most automatic doors Bronkhorstspruit main entrances. Swing doors suit narrow openings and existing doors. Revolving doors keep wind and heat loss out of a lobby but always need a swing door beside them for wheelchairs and goods. See automatic sliding doors, automatic swing doors and automatic revolving doors.
