Automatic doors for mixed-use developments

Mixed-use developments usually have revolving doors or sliding doors installed at their main entrances. Internally, some commercial facilities also have automated swing doors with or without access control. There may also be a requirement for disabled access through an automated system such as a push-pad or sensor, or hands-free automation for areas such as bathrooms or canteens to maximize hygiene control.

Speedlanes and turnstiles to control access

Speedlanes and turnstiles are utilised as entrance and exit lanes either to office sections of the building or in leisure centres. They enable you to monitor and control who enters and exits your building, providing convenient, fast, and secure access, that is compatible with a wide range of access control systems. If you need to enclose or safeguard your speedlanes or turnstiles, glass balustrades can be provided to complement your entrance systems.

Access control for enhanced security

Mixed-use developments require a variety of access and security solutions for both commercial, residential and leisure areas of the building. Ranging from simple mechanical digital locks to fully networked access management systems. Our access control solutions include RFID smart contactless access, bio-metric recognition, touch free sensor activation units, electronic locks and cylinders plus electronic strike and magnetic door locks. All of which can be integrated with Building Management Systems (BMS) and fire safety equipment, as well as other elements like automation, barrier systems and lifts. Once installed, we provide 24/7 support through our network of service centres.

Architectural hardware and master key management

A range of hardware solutions, including door levers, pull handles, signage, door closers, hinges, locks, cylinders, and master-key locking systems are necessary in commercial buildings. These must meet industry standards and provide the appropriate performance ratings as well as all the fire test evidence and certification. Our comprehensive range of co-ordinated door furniture, door hardware and lever door handles provide a huge choice of style and finish with high performance components at the core.

Area and spatial management

Mixed-use developments often need to optimize space and adapt to a changing environment. Our movable walls and partitions can be used to create new spaces in one area, or they can help you divide up a single large space into multiple small areas. Our most popular options offer excellent acoustical properties and insulation values, ideal for turning a large conference room in your office building into multiple private meeting rooms for example.

Concealed riser door systems with a flush finish

Our concealed door systems are versatile and elegant, featuring a frameless design which allows you to create a flush finish that blends in seamlessly with your commercial interior. The high performance folded steel frames of our riser doors feature an integral perforated plasterbead which allows the plaster or tape and jointing compound to be applied up to the edge concealing the door frame and all fixings.

Fire strategy for the safety of your building occupants

An effective and compliant fire strategy is paramount in any public-occupied building, especially in a mixed-use development that has multiple different user tpes. We assist you in ensuring your building’s occupants will have a carefully planned-out escape route, that is protected from smoke, fire and heat, and is fully compliant with industry standards and legislation.
