Safety and security from the skies to the seas

Restricted zones. Streams of passengers. Extreme weather. Automated doors on a massive scale. Transportation has unique challenges that we’ve spent decades perfecting the answers to. From the departure gates to the emergency exit, we get passengers and cargo safely on their way. 

Complete access solutions for transportation

No matter how fast you’re travelling, you can’t take short cuts with safety. Transport hubs are the arteries of the modern world, so we’ll make sure every passenger and product reaches their destination.

Whether they’re booking a flight or jumping on a train, people expect to get where they want, when they want. From airports to subways, we provide reliable, customized entrances that keep them safe while coping with that demand. Automated sliding doors, for example, make rapid, hands-free access easy without getting in the way; emergency exits get people out fast if they need to.

Our global economy depends on just-in-time supply chains, so you can’t afford to be the weak link. From ships to lorries, loading areas can be fitted with the exact door you need –high-speed, vertical, folding, overhead or sectional. Our equipment is every bit as hardworking as the staff keeping goods on the go. 

Nothing slows things down like a security breach, so keep restricted areas properly protected with electromechanical locks that won’t go anywhere. Keep customers and deliveries exactly where they are supposed to be, until it’s time for their next journey.

Our transportation solutions

  • Entrance systems

    The entrance doors to train station, airports and other large public transportation facilities have to be able to handle huge volumes of people. Automatic, revolving, sliding and swing doors are the perfect choice to allow them through in a safe, controlled way.

  • High-security

    An access control system using smart card credentials and biometric characteristics means that only authorized personnel can enter areas that need to stay restricted.

  • Utility facilities

    Utilities at a public transportation facility need to be especially tough, as they are often exposed to extreme weather conditions or hazardous chemicals. Durable door controls and regular or cylinder locks ensure no unwanted surprises.

  • General doors

    The self-closing function by door closers provides  an important level of security for external doors, preventing them from slamming, staying open unintentionally or blowing open in the wind.

  • Emergency exits

    Emergency and panic exit devices must comply with regulations and ensure safe exit during extreme situations while helping to secure the building and retain secure entry in non-emergency situations.

  • Industrial doors

    There are a number of variations for industrial doors. High-speed doors go up and down quickly, making sure traffic keeps flowing. Horizontally moving folding doors are perfect when there is no space for a regular door. Overhead sectional doors retract up under the roof, freeing space around the door opening. And for large openings, wind and weather resistant extra-large doors are available.
