TORMAX concealed door drive creates timeless automatic entrance
OAG Ltd specified TORMAX UK to install their iMotion 1401 underfloor operator to a swing door on a Grade II listed building within the Woolwich Works development, Greenwich. Featuring elegantly arched brickwork, a row of three swing doors give entry into one of the creative community spaces, with one door providing clear and easy access for everyone, thanks to the TORMAX automatic door drive. The iMotion 1401 is ideally suited to period properties where an externally situated operator would detract from the aesthetics of the building. Concealed in a steel box situated in the floorspace below the door, the Swiss-engineered motor has been precision-designed for a long-life span and exceptional reliability, featuring none of the working parts that generally need replacing, such as gears or brushes. TORMAX offers a complete service from bespoke entrance design to manufacture, installation and ongoing maintenance and service. With over 60 years working in the automatic door sector, TORMAX has solutions to meet the needs of almost any entrance requirement.
