Delta Security installs automatic
doors to brain injury charity
» » DELTA SECURITY, A
specialist in automated high-
security solutions, has been
chosen by Headway East
London, a local brain injury
charity, for an automatic door
installation that streamlines
access to both the front and
back of the property for
authorised users.
The charity’s previous supplier
had attempted to fix the existing
doors on multiple occasions,
but problems kept re-occurring.
Gabriel Eaton of Headway
therefore approached Delta
Security to find a solution:
“We rely on access being
smooth and hassle free because
many of our members will be
in wheelchairs or using walking
aids,” he says. “We therefore
decided to get another opinion
on the best course of action and
approached Delta as we had
worked with them previously.”
Delta Security arranged a
site visit and agreed, as per its
policy, to only charge for the
consultation if they were able
to solve the problem there and
then: “It was quickly apparent
that Delta Security knew a great
deal more about the doors than
the previous suppliers,” explains
Gabriel. “They recommended
one door was replaced and that
the other could be fixed, but
they would need to come back
with the appropriate parts. We
were therefore not charged for
the visit and instead quoted for
the job.”
The installation took place
on a Sunday so that access
was not compromised during
opening hours and works were
completed in a timely manner.
The record electro-
mechanical DFA 127 swing
door operator system was
chosen for its convenient,
low-noise, energy-saving
and reliable design, and its
compliance with health and
safety and fire regulations and
standards. The door can be
configured into four modes,
with the ‘Gentle’ model
suitable for environments
where additional time may be
required during access.
Gabriel adds that the service
they received from Delta
Security was excellent: “We
were provided with a quote the
morning after the visit. Works
were completed around our
schedule, quickly and to a high

standard. We would be happy
to recommend Delta.”
Dave Mundy, Managing
Director, Delta Security, says
the company has a wealth
of experience of working in
sensitive environments: “Not
being able to enter or leave a
building without assistance can
be embarrassing and frustrating,
especially for those with long-
term disabilities. Our engineers
have a great deal of knowledge
in terms which products are
most reliable and best suited to
specific environments.”
