Revolving doors

Use and function

Our revolving doors combine seamless access with high security and pure aesthetics for an all-around package that delivers on every front. They are designed specifically to handle high-volume flows of people entering or leaving a building with ease, using a combination of door wings, flexible drive systems and concealed sensors. All of our manual and automatic revolving doors meet the requirements of the EN 16005 safety standard and offer in some versions protection against burglary attempts thanks to integrated night shields. There are plenty of energy savings in revolving doors to be had as well: with a revolving door, the facade remains closed at all times while at the same time people can enter and leave the building. Through that, rotating doors prevent cold air from entering the premises, helping to maintain a consistent ambient temperature inside the building. This avoids placing any strain on the building’s heating systems. Finally, the sweeping glass facades lend a distinctly modern – not to mention visually impressive – touch to any exterior.

What are revolving doors?

Revolving doors – or rotating doors – are a type of door consisting of leaves or wings that revolve in a cylindrical manner within a wider frame. Various designs and configurations are available, including manual, assisted and automatic revolving doors, with the choice depending on the door’s position in the building, the estimated throughput volume (passage capacity) and the appearance of the building’s facade. Commonly installed in large buildings to regulate flows of people, revolving doors also help to keep the premises energy efficient, as they enable the air temperature and pressure inside the building to be accurately controlled. This gives rotating doors a clear advantage over traditional hinged doors and leads to cost savings in the long run.

Variants

Our revolving doors offer maximum flexibility and convenience in terms of security, design and aesthetics. You can choose from several distinct designs:

• KTV 3 / KTV 4 standard size revolving doors feature a low canopy height, an electromechanical locking system and an automatic night shield with burglary resistance. They are available as standard with a manual door system, though self-positioning, servo and automatic revolving door variants are available.
• Sleek and elegant, KTV ATRIUM FLEX all-glass revolving doors come in a turnstile design with three or four wings consisting of tempered safety glass. Laminated safety glass is used for the drum walls and the overhead glazing is a special laminate made from thermo-tempered glass (TVG). Different drive types are available based on a single drive system, including manual, power-assisted and fully automatic revolving doors.
• KTC 3 / KTC 4 high-capacity revolving doors are available in various dimensions for an architecturally impressive façade that is able to handle high volumes of people. Reliable, user-friendly and easy to install, these doors can be fitted with night shields as required, as part of a revolving door setup.
• KTC 2 high-capacity revolving doors embrace a two-wing design in accordance with the EN 16005 safety standard. An integrated ST FLEX sliding door offers maximum convenience as an entryway (making it the ideal choice for people with disabilities), while the integrated night shield protects the entrance against unauthorized access.
