In the parkade of MacEwan University, the transition from a failed automatic door package to a state-of-the-art Horton 4100 Double Door Package was not just a routine upgrade. It was a strategic move to bolster reliability and ensure the system’s serviceability for years to come.
Challenge Accepted
The integration of sophisticated automatic door systems presents a unique set of challenges. From fire-rated doors with Von Duprin concealed vertical rod exit devices to electric latch retraction tied into an access control system, our encounter was with a setup begging for meticulous care and expertise. The discovery of broken wires in the power transfers further complicated the scenario, alongside unlabelled wiring and subpar terminations. However, SHARC®’s prowess in navigating these complexities meant that we were the singular contractor equipped for the job.
A Leap Forward with Horton
Our choice of the Horton 4100 Double Door Package was driven by a commitment to excellence. Horton, as the original pioneer of the automatic door, brings to the table a legacy of reliability and durability, especially critical in high-traffic environments like universities. For MacEwan University, this meant an upgrade not just in technology but in trust.
