DORMAKABA LAUNCHES NEW FEATURES FOR POPULAR KTV REVOLVING DOOR

» LEADING SUPPLIER OF SECURITY and entrance systems solutions , dormakaba , has upgraded its KTV Revolving Door system , which now offers improved installation times and a new automatic Night Shield .
With the dormakaba Direct Drive , the KTV Revolving Doors now feature an impressive shallow ceiling assembly of just 100mm , with an integrated LED light ring , allowing for the seamless integration with existing architecture . Thanks to the brushless motor , the doors benefit from enhanced life cycles – tested to 2 million cycles . Plus , the new Weldless floor ring uses threaded rods instead of welded brackets , meaning the floor ring can be more easily and precisely levelled , resulting in a much quicker installation .
The upgrades also include anti-intruder protection to class RC2 as standard , so specifiers and building owners can have total peace of mind that the doors will
protect against unauthorised access and vandalism .
For those with increased security requirements , the KTV is also available with an additional Night Shield option , which can be installed internally or externally , and is equipped with EN 1672 tested and certified RC2 class burglary protection . The Night Shield is available as either a manual locking solution , or a new low-energy automatic version that reliably locks the revolving doors by means of a simple programme switch .
Rafik Pathan , Solution Sales Director at dormakaba says , “ dormakaba works across a wealth of sectors and we recognise that there is no such thing as a one size fits all solution for locking and security .
“ Requirements can vary considerably across different specifications , so our KTV Revolving Doors are available in a variety of combinations - including 3 or 4 wing turnstiles , transport openings for bulky deliveries - and a range of locking devices . The Twin Brush Double Seal offers increased protection against external issues such as noise , dirt , or cold air – perfect for installation in reception areas .
“ These upgrades and additional options continue to prove our commitment to excellent products and unbeatable customer service , with support available through our full-service package . This starts from site-visits and drawings , through to remote software updates and dedicated aftercare where possible , guaranteeing the best solution with one trusted supplier .”
