Case Studies – FlowControl at Smart Door Solutions

Based in South Yorkshire, Smart Doors Solutions Ltd is a door supplier with over 65 years' of collective experience in the automatic, commercial and industrial doors. 

The Brief

Following the coronavirus lockdown, Smart Door Solutions sought to implement the correct procedures within their office at Barnsley, to become Covid-19 Secure and aid social distancing for their office-based employees and field engineers who regularly call into the office.

The Solution

record's FlowControl has been installed on the existing STA 20 Sliding Door into Smart Door Solutions' main shared office to limit the number of employees, visiting engineers and customers (once further restrictions are lifted), at any one time.

For this busy shared area, the FlowControl was the ideal choice as it gives reassurance to Smart Doors Solutions that once the pre-defined people count is reached, in this case - 7 people, the entrance door will automatically deactivate and prevent further access until someone leaves the area. 

This user-friendly system is easily adjustable by all employees to suit different working patterns within the office and comes complete with visible green and red LED stripes to show when entry is allowed or denied.

Lee Steele, Managing Director commented: “The FlowControl has been extremely effective in ensuring the people limit is never exceeded within the shared office. The LED stripes are bright, and the system is robust and easy to use, enabling employees to social distance safely whilst carrying out their work”.
