It is easy to take on the mentality of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ but the aim is to maintain and develop with current user expectations. If you upkeep and gradually modernise your manual entrance you reduce the risk of having to remove something completely, which can be costly and time-consuming. This is where automatic revolving door upgrades become incredibly valuable. And we are here to give you full visibility on all things relating to door upgrades:

The Key Benefits of Automatic Revolving Door Upgrades

Automatic doors offer plenty of additional benefits when compared to their manual counterparts, so businesses’ stand to gain from making the move from manual to automatic doors. These benefits include:

Upgrading your Manual Tourniket to Fully Automatic.

Upgrading your existing Boon Edam UK product with us couldn’t be simpler. Take for example the manual Tourinket, ‘The Original Revolving Door’. Configured with three or four wings depending on need, the Tourniket offers basic functionality as a manual revolving door. However, we also offer the ability to upgrade the Tourinket to its fully automatic option. 

Our dedicated Retrofits and Upgrades team will work with you to ensure the installation is carried out safely and meets your exact needs. This process begins with an onsite risk assessment to prioritise this safety, as well as the erection of safety barriers around the installation area. 

The next step is to either remove the existing manual handles and fill those holes with screws and caps or replace the glass completely. During this step, new door buffers will also be installed. Once this is done, the revolving door set will then need to be removed while the automatic upgrades are put in place. 

To allow for the Tourniket to operate fully automatically, our retrofits and upgrades team will then remove and install a new ceiling for the revolving door, complete with all the necessary components for automatic operation, including the drive plate, motor, sprocket, NPN switch, slip ring and control box to hold all the necessary electronics and wiring.

Next, a vertical post will then be installed inside and outside of the revolving door, which will house the necessary buttons for operation, as well as the control panel itself.

An automatic door also requires the use of an automatic sensor, which will then be installed on both the inside and outside canopies.

The final installation step then involves finishing all the wiring and reattaching the removed doors and ceiling panels. Once complete, a full customer demonstration will be offered to the customer.

Upgrading your Manual Crystal Tourniket to Fully Automatic

Our all-glass revolving door, the Crystal Tourniket, is also available with an upgrade option to fully automatic through our retrofits and upgrades team. 

While installation is similar in some respects to our standard Tourinket, upgrading your manual Crystal Tourinket will require our retrofits and upgrades team to cut out a hole in the floor during installation. This is required to house the drive box, as well as effectively install conduits needed for the cabling to power the automatic door.

Our team will begin by removing the doors and matting to allow for the necessary hole to be cut out. Once complete, the next step will involve installing the drive box and all the necessary cabling. At this point, we will also remove the existing manual handles. 

With the drive box successfully installed, the next step will involve adding the vertical buffers, activation sensors, as well as the inside and outside posts that hold the necessary buttons, such as the stop and disabled access button.

Once this is completed, all that is left to do is finish the wiring and reattach the doors and ceiling panels. Upon completion, the customer will then be contacted for a full customer demonstration.
