Wednesday, January 2, 2008

As part of a recent refurbishment project to the George House in York, United Kingdom, automatic door operators were fitted to the main external door and to the offices, meeting room and kitchen doors, in order to give disabled visitors easy entry into and passage through the building.

Vador Security Systems installed the system and had previously installed an Abloy Master Key system, covering the front door, manager’s office and two other offices at George House.
