Lok’nStore is one of the UK’s first self-storage companies with 35 locations in the South of England and more currently under construction. They opened their first store in 1995 and supply self-storage to householders, renters and business users. Jewers brief was to supply an attractive user friendly, safe & secure door for staff and customer use. It needed to be durable and low maintenance as well as secure to protect their customers’ belongings. Jewers supplied and installed manual versions of their successful Swift bi-folding doors. These robust doors are designed for heavy duty applications, and the low resistance hinges ensure continued effortless operation. Benefits • Easy to open and close by hand. • Durable and low maintenance. • Soft compound weather seals to all edges, which protects against finger and toe trapping. • Fully compliant with EN 12604. Safety The doors are to be operated by the public as well as staff so have been designed with ease of operation and complete user safety in mind. These manually operated doors incorporate soft compound weather seals to all edges, which protect against finger and toe trapping. The robust moulded pull handles and waist height drop bolts maximise safety during operation. The doors are side hung with a simple guide track at the head to control the movement of the leaves. On the floor there is no bottom track but an extremely low-profile chamfered threshold plate with anti-slip grooves, which assists door operation, keeps out the weather and increases user safety.
