Introduction to the Project
In Havant, Portsmouth, we collaborated with Soteria Auto Doors on behalf of Horton Automatics to install a Horton 4-4200 Bi-Folding Automatic Door System at the next up-and-coming PureGym location. The goal was clear create a reliable, space-efficient entrance that could handle constant traffic and integrate seamlessly with the gym’s 24-hour access control system.
Why We Used Horton Automatics – Horton 4-4200 Bi-Folding Door System
The Horton 4-4200 is the perfect choice for busy environments like gyms, thanks to:
- Modern aesthetics – complements PureGym’s sleek brand look
- Space-saving design – maximises usable opening in tight spaces
- Durability – engineered for heavy daily use without performance loss
- Smooth, quiet operation – improves the member experience
Challenges
This project came with a few unique considerations:
- Access Control Integration: Ensuring the system was fully commissioned and ready to connect seamlessly to PureGym’s 24-hour security system.
- Site Logistics: Working on a GB Farrar-managed site meant following strict protocols to maintain safety and cleanliness while hitting deadlines.
- Environmental Conditions: Unfortunately, the entrance location meant our team missed out on enjoying the day’s sunny weather, but that didn’t slow the pace.
