Projects

In installing high-use, swinging impact-doors in openings throughout a busy department store, longevity, low-maintenance and safety are keys aspects of product consideration. Our 4500 series thermal doors are widely used throughout department stores and supermarkets, due to their ability to meet all three requirements, a well-used favourite with the likes of Woolworths, Aldi, and Target. 

With self-lubricating, low-maintenance closing mechanisms, these doors are able to function tirelessly lengthy periods of time, with an average lifespan of 10 years. The light-weight aluminium framework is mounted into an aluminium wall-bracket at the bottom, swiveling on an acetal round pivot. In the case of extremely hard impact, instead of damaging the framework and/or causing structural damage to the wall, the pivot is designed to snap cleanly at the bottom, and is easily replaced at low cost. For added protection against heavy impact, large spring impact buffers can be fitted to the lower section of both sides of the doors, for effective absorption of hard-hitting traffic.

The panel has no gaps or joins, with colour evenly impregnated through the 4mm thick polymer skin, meaning the panel will never require painting, and retains its clean attractive appearance for the life of the door. It is impervious to moisture and acid/petroleum products, making for an ideal solution in meat departments, and hygiene-sensitive areas. 

With double-glazed windows for easy visibility, pedestrians and store-staff can see oncoming traffic prior to access. In the case of these doors coming off the hinges, a safety cable at the top secured the door to the framework, meaning the door will not fall down and potentially injure someone. 

Six of these impact doors were installed in Target Elizabeth, measured and custom made to size. Contact our friendly sales team if you could picture these in your store too!
