Door entry question.

[simpson93]

Hello all,

I have been asked to look at a job involving installing a intercom/door entry for a small commercial wharehouse/office
At the moment they have metal/glass door like the ones on most high street shops (not automatic) open and closed by key

I was going to put a coded panel in to open from outside and I'm guessing I'm going to need some sort of lock/release on the inside
any suggestions

thanks

use a magnetic lock.

Just tell them that if their name is not on the list.......

I think Rim Latch Lock will be good.

With many aluminium doors installing a rim lock is more hassle than a mag lock.

i'd like to see anybody drill a glass door and fit a rimlock.

I installed a mag lock once on a Council building in Tunbridge Wells.
It was what the client asked for.
My biggest concern, was that there was no method to operate the mag lock from outside the building.
I do not know how they got around this problem, perhaps they just turned off the door entry system each night?

Glass door maglocks do not need drilling...the plate slides over the top of the glass and pressure gripped to hold in place.
hope this explains

Thanks all for replies, here is a picture of the doors

If you are going to use a maglock don't forget emergency egress. Like link it to fire alarm system and maybe a green emergency break glass to release unit.

You have the upvc frame ....standard maglock can be drilled .

Look like aluminium frames to me.
There' also the comment in the OP about the metal frames to take on board.

From the doors shown ...I don`t see a problem...all upvc have aluminium support.?
