The UK’s leading door manufacturer, Hörmann, has been awarded top marks for its new door operator, PortaMatic.
The system allows people to open and close internal doors automatically via a hand transmitter or button, making it ideal for the elderly or disabled, or the workplace.
The PortaMatic was put to the test by international aging specialists in Germany this week and was awarded the highest mark ever given to a door operator. It has a wide variety of functions, including hands free technology, an integrated LED illumination to light the way in the dark and an acoustic signal which provides a warning before and/or during door movement.
The PortaMatic is also ideal for hospitals and office buildings, as its non-contact switch means it’s one of the most hygienic door operators on the market. The PortaMatic also has a reverse function that ensures no one is caught accidentally during closing, If the door lightly impacts anything, it immediately opens again.
David O’Mara, marketing manager at Hörmann (UK) Ltd. commented: “At Hörmann, safety and convenience go hand in hand. The PortaMatic operator is incredibly versatile, offering both accessibility and security, and it takes convenient living to the next level.”
