Case Study: Horton 4-4200 Bi-Fold Installation at Pure Gym Havant, Portsmouth

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.
