Customers will appreciate the new entrances to McDonalds as GEZE UK wins the contract to install automatic doors in restaurants as part of a national refurbishment programme.

The contract is the first of its kind for GEZE UK, the UK’s leading manufacturer of door and window control technology, who will supply automatic swing and sliding doors. Following trials, GEZE UK has been selected to install its compact Slimdrive EMD-F electromechanical drive systems, which can move McDonalds’ large and heavy external swing doors easily and with virtually no noise. Later in 2011, GEZE UK’s durable Slimdrive SL operators will be used for sliding doors where space permits.

Part of the Slimdrive range, both operators are just 7cm high so they can be fitted within the framework around the main entrances, as well as being suitable for high footfall and making access easy for all. Offering flexibility, reliability, functionality and safety, every operator in GEZE’s Slimdrive range has been designed and tested to meet the requirements of all relevant standards and regulations, including Building Bulletin 93, Approved Documents B and M, as well as being able to assist with the vigorous demands of the Equality Act.
