When Great Ormond Street hospital needed to refurbish the existing entrance doors, Alpro stepped in with a pleasing aesthetic solution which was not only cost effective but was an 'off the shelf solution' ensuring no delays to the contactors were incurred, thus ensuring no disruption to the vital work the hospital carries out on a daily basis.

Alpro supplied the ES8000 series V lock which overcomes the problems of alignment with double swing doors.  The unit further eliminates the need and cost of an additional key override, due the fail open motor locking mechanism.  The units can be installed on glass, steel and timber door installations and various accessories are available for the individual application in question. 

Keith Parry, Alpro's Divisional Sales Manager, commented: "With this unit, Alpro have once again illustrated their commitment to excellence by offering a cost effective and speedy resolution to an egress/ingress problem.  By working with the principle stakeholders involved, Alpro were once again able to demonstrate its ability to respond to the external environment and solve problems".
