Retrofit Manual and Automatic Doors – Service

With the recent pandemics and concerns about security in mind, many businesses are considering upgrading their entrance system to better suit the world as it stands today. Most building owners assume that there are only two options; replace existing revolving doors with brand new ones, or keep old, tired doors spinning with constant maintenance, but we offer a third option. We can retrofit Boon Edam Tourniket and Crystal Tourniket revolving doors, updating the operation of the door without the complexity of installing an entirely new door. You can choose from automatic and manual door upgrades, including:

Automatic > Manual
Automatic > Power-Assisted
Manual > Power-Assisted
Manual > Automatic
Power-Assisted > Manual
Power-Assisted > Automatic

Providing your entrance has a canopy, we can also retrofit Tourniket revolving doors into Circleslide curved sliding doors, or the other way around. This is a popular choice for customers who experience a higher footfall than initially anticipated when specifying the door.

One of the key benefits of upgrading a manual door to an automatic entrance is touchless access. An automatic revolving door is activated by PIR sensors which are installed in the door canopy or the base, under the floor. When the sensors are activated, the door will rotate at a fixed speed, returning to a parked position when the sensors no longer detect a user approaching.

Additional sensors are often required, including an EBS sensor to monitor the doorset as it passes the curved wall. Boon Edam's fully automatic door upgrades are fully compliant with European Standard EN 16005.
A power-assisted revolving door features a low torque drive. When a user pushes the door, the drive assists the user to ensure a smooth, seamless rotation. The doorset returns to a parked position, ready for the following user when not in use. When the door is parked, it also maximises the seal between the doorset and curved walls to prevent draughts and reduce air loss. This revolving door also includes a speed controller to stop the doorset from being spun too fast. However, this is not necessarily a concern for all buildings, but it is a popular feature.

Additional safety sensors are included with the power-assisted upgrade to comply with EN 16005.
In some cases, an automatic door isn't the best entry solution for your building. For example, if your entrance is located on a main street, activation sensors are triggered every time somebody walks past, meaning the door is constantly revolving. Therefore, the door has additional use that it doesn't need, leading to higher maintenance costs from unnecessary wear and tear and increased energy costs from air loss.

That's why we offer customers the option to downgrade their automatic door to a manual operation. The doorset is manually pushed around by the user, and when not in use, it comes to a natural stop without returning to a parked position.

There are many benefits to upgrading your revolving door. Customers who will benefit most from adapting their existing entrance are those who want to:

Improve accessibility.
Increase security.
Reduce your carbon footprint.
Lower energy costs.
Improve building hygiene.
Enhance the visitor experience.

Manual doors can restrict the seamless flow of users entering and exiting a building. Upgrading an existing manual revolving door to an automatic is beneficial for premises with high throughput and the need for bi-directional access. With risks concerning cross-contamination in public spaces at an all-time high, the interest in manual to automatic door upgrades has dramatically increased.

Revolving doors help to prevent the external environment from reaching the internal building, including preventing dust, pollution, and unfiltered air away from your building. There are several ways in which we can upgrade your existing entrance to provide touchless entry, including:

Automatic door upgrade packages.
Third-party access control integration.
Sensor installation.
Lockdown integration (Night and remote locking functionality).
Desk mounted remote controls.
Access fobs.

Touchless entry upgrades are compatible with all Boon Edam revolving doors, including the Tourniket, Crystal Tourniket, Circleslide, Duotour and Tournex.
