Door Industry Journal - Winter 2015

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 83 THE door industry journal winter 2015 entrance doors feature technology revolutionised architecture many thousands of years ago, the team aimed to similarly reduce the number of tensional and bending forces found within standard rollers to improve on performance. Cleverly building upon the arches’ pressure-based concept, the team designed a unique self-levelling mechanism; instantly activated when the weight of the door is applied to the roller. With each of the three wheels encased within its own internal support structure, the mechanism balances the weight of the door across the carriage evenly, intuitively self- adjusting to accommodate any imperfections along the track and ensure the panel motions flawlessly while maintaining consistent surface contact. With not only a remarkable improvement in rolling performance, most notably, the innovative mechanism enhances the load rating to a hefty 80kg without compromise to the standard profile size of the carriage; enabling a seamless integration within any Eurogroove channel. “Homeowners now have the opportunity to utilise these energy efficient panels, which should slide open in one single smooth action,” the team enthuse. “The Mother of All Rollers’ superior load bearing makes it ideal for enabling wide open spaces and gliding those heavy duty applications seamlessly along the track without hindrance to the slimline aesthetics of the door profile.” Gaining recognition from an array of award organisations for its innovative and unique design, those behind The Mother of All Rollers believe it is CiiLOCK’s ambitious commitment and determination to challenge the status quo that has ultimately led to their success. “We all, at CiiLOCK, are very proud of our achievements; bringing a design concept to life that is viable and will physically operate as flawlessly as we created it to! The Mother of All Rollers represents our passion for innovation and is a reminder to us that our persistence and dedication can produce amazing results!” Tel: 01455 891 604 E: sales-uk@ciilock.com Mother roller uPVC EN 16005 COMPLIANCE IS A CLICK AWAY THANKS TO LOGBOOQR FROM GEZE UK There’s no need to worry about lost or damaged log books again thanks to a new innovation from automatic door and window control systems manufacturer GEZE UK. The company has developed logbooqr, a new online logbook for automatic doors which can be accessed via a QR code using a smartphone or tablet. Since the introduction of EN 16005 in April 2013, all automatic doors must have a logbook to keep a detailed record of any servicing and maintenance work that has been undertaken. Currently, an asset tag, detailing a unique reference code, is fitted to the door itself and a physical logbook is issued. This is then completed by service and maintenance engineers as soon as any work is carried out. The problem is that logbooks, that need to be kept with the automatic door, are frequently lost or misplaced. logbooqr allows this information to be recorded on a secure website which is accessed via a QR code printed on the asset tag. This allows an engineer to record the work that has been done, while the end user can check the log and see when the next service is due. In the event of an accident or random spot check, Health and Safety Inspectors can easily access this information to confirm that servicing and maintenance schedules are up to date.
