TORMAXautomatic door systems for the industrial and administration sector

Open doors for visitors and employees

Comfort with safety and security

Come and go unrestricted

Quickly withdraw money from the bank, reserve theatre tickets and then off to

the local authority to pick up your new passport. Busy comings and goings

are the rule in public buildings. Who can monitor access authorization?

Where people are welcome

Bank counters should be inviting – and financial transfers secure. People have

access to the counters in administration buildings – but not to the offices.

Thousands of students visit the university every day – but not the vice-chan-

cellor's office. TORMAX automatic doors ensure that people can only enter

the areas they are entitled to.

Discreet and efficient

Those interested in discreet, efficient door monitoring will be from the bank

manager to the local authority's security officer. Vice-chancellors, stadium

administrators, theatre directors and museum curators trust in the reliability of

automatic doors for small and large crowds alike.

Opens doors for you

Theatre halls, schools, universities, sport stadiums, museums, art galleries,

cinemas, banks, administration buildings, insurance institutions, hotels, post

offices: tens of thousands of people daily pass in and out of these establish-

ments. TORMAX always opens the doors to your guests and clients obligingly,

safely, securely and quickly.

DESIGNWe can do it

You can buy TORMAX drives from

us as standard products but, as the

largest telecommunications compa-

ny in Norway shows, architects and

designers will willingly work with us.

We can turn their unconventional

ideas into reality.

Steel or aluminium doors of every

possible shape, version, colour and

coating. Wooden doors and combi-

ned glass and plastic doors. Oblique

angled doors or straight doors.

Whatever an architect can draw, we

can almost always build.

“It is always said that the customer

is paramount. When we were con-

structing this extraordinary building,

we wanted to state once and for all

that our employees are of the

utmost importance to us.

For without them, nothing happens.

Without TORMAX doors, we would

not be able to get this message

across. The oblique-angled entran-

ces required a unique solution.

TORMAX created a unique entry

system and impressed us with their

capability and dedication.”

Øyvind Loraas, Director of Telenor,

Eiendom, Norway“For us the employeeis paramount”

QUIETOur contribution to culture

Exhibitions and performances are

the focal points of art galleries, the-

atres, cinema and museums.

Architecture has to take second

place to the exhibition so not to

distract too much attention from the

work displayed. Our drivers are so

quiet they do go unnoticed.

They have such a load-bearing capa-

city that they can effortlessly handle

heavy doors catering for the largest

crowds of visitors. They can be

equipped with state of the art safety

functions that ensure the well being

of the visitors whilst deterring anyo-

ne from breaking in. Part of

TORMAX's contribution to culture.

“Yes, we are rather proud of it: the

famous Genoese architect Renzo

Piano who, among other things, crea-

ted the Pompidou Centre in Paris,

built our museum.

The museum is inspired by peace and

transparency. Visitors plunge into

another world here. Throughout the

building, we have deliberately dispen-

sed with visible technical details. On

this occasion, TORMAX was challen-

ged to find a solution which is conce-

aled in the floor so that visitors cannot

see or hear the door drives”

Fausto De Lorenzo, Operations

Manager Beyeler Foundation, Basle,

Switzerland

“Visitors plunge into another world”

DISCRETION

“Our bank symbolises security, confi-

dence and discretion. To ensure our

customers can quickly and discreetly

access their funds we must ensure

safe, 24 hour access to the internal

ATM. Our advanced security systems

surrounding the internal ATM start with

the TORMAX doors.

What is most important for the

counters? Security. Security for our

customers and ourselves. TORMAX

doors give us, the bank employees,

a good sense of security too as we

can control all the door functions

discreetly from a single location.”

Heinz Sager, Manager Neue

Aargauer Bank, Brugg, Switzerland

Discretion built in

Discretion and security are just as

valued by local authorities, post offi-

ces, insurance institutions and

museums as they are by banks.

TORMAX builds discretion in. The

doors are ready to be connected to

central building management systems

and to be controlled from a central

office.

“For us, discretionbegins at the entrance”

Our drives work perfectly with all the

security equipment - cameras, sen-

sors, badge systems, alarm systems

and access control systems. Our door

security means that people are safe in

the event of a fire or an emergency

too, as they are able to leave the buil-

ding immediately.

“We have very old, listed buildings

with large, heavy solid wood doors.

As a public university the disabled

must be able to enter our building

unaided. Automatic doors are the

solution.

I made an intensive study of the

market and have found that only

TORMAX have drives that are

powerful enough to contend with the

weight of the solid doors and they

can be sunk into the floor so that

they do not spoil the aesthetics of

our listed building whilst providing

disabled access. A harmonious com-

promise between modern technology

“HarmoniousCompromise”

and historic architecture.”

Fredy Aeschbacher, Closing

Equipment Manager, Central Zurich

University, Switzerland

CONVERSIONNo conflicts in requirements

Many public buildings are old, some

centuries old. Ideas for preserva-

tions whilst increasing access often

conflict with each other. TORMAX

automatic doors can resolve this

conflict.

We do not only equip new buildings

with our well designed, flat drives

but an existing swing door can also

be easily be automated. You will

find that TORMAX has a wide range

of drives to suit every purpose inclu-

ding drives that can be sunk into the

floor.

Made-to-measure doors

TORMAX builds automatic doors for your customers, visitors and employees.

The facility managers of public buildings want to enhance accessibility to the

disabled customers and general public. Our drives can be readily installed

both in new and existing buildings. Our range includes sliding, swing, revol-

ving, folding, fire protection or emergency escape doors in every shape,

colour, performance category and size. Safety and security are just as impor-

tant for us as for the customer. Sensors, cameras, badge functions, opening

times, closing speeds and closing forces, opening angles, emergency escape

programs and much more can be set individually on each drive or from a cen-

tral location to satisfy in support of all your safety and security requirements.

So that people can reach you easily

Our company has been setting standards in door automation for over 50

years. You will benefit from our wealth of experience in the field of door auto-
