Watch a prime example: finding the specs for an automated warehouse

Designing and constructing an automated warehouse means balancing efficiency, safety, and smart flow management—often within tight spaces. From machine guarding doors that protect workers, to high-frequency access solutions, every detail matters.

Our local Specification experts help you find the right door solutions for safety, durability, and automation, ensuring smooth, reliable operations.

Ask for a consultation

We believe any supplier should make your job easier. Our architect consultants are there to assist you with the entrances for your project from design to handover. They will help you write and defend product specifications, assist you with planning for entrances that enable a smooth flow of people, goods and vehicles and support you in achieving BREEAM and LEED certifications. And if your building requires a door with a unique feature, we are even on hand to assist with product development.

Compliance - always meet the rules and regulations

Compliance - always meet the rules and regulations

Satisfying building regulations is a crucial but meticulous part of any project. Working with suppliers armed with up-to-date local compliance knowledge and a good overview of what is to come makes it easier for you to be sure your specifications go above and beyond the requirements. Our architect consultants work with you to ensure your specified entrances satisfy and exceed all local requirements. And with a service agreement in place, you can be confident they will continue to do so throughout your building’s lifecycle.
