TORMAX UK Ltd has installed a telescopic automatic sliding entrance door system at the new Nest Self Store facility in Walsall. A perfect solution for high-traffic sites like this, the telescopic option maximises accessibility for areas where space is at a premium, enhancing customer convenience by delivering an opening width of up to 3800mm without sacrificing style or performance.

The sliding door is powered by the in-house designed TORMAX iMotion 2202.A drive. This technologically sophisticated operator incorporates durable components for an impressively long lifespan coupled with low maintenance needs. Certified for rescue and escape routes, user safety is assured — a key priority for Nest Self Store.

Recently opened, the Midlands-based Nest Self Store facility is a modern storage hub built for convenience, security, and 24/7 ease of access. Offering a premium facility, customers using their lock-up units are welcomed in through the TORMAX automatic door, simplifying their experience and improving pedestrian traffic flow.

“Our telescopic door is ideal for any location where space is at a premium, such as narrow corridors or tight entryways,” comments Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX. “The system creates the widest pass-through opening possible without requiring structural modifications.”

Designed to the meet the highest safety standards, the TORMAX door features built-in mechanisms like obstacle detection and automatic reversal, providing a secure and user-friendly experience. A simple control panel allows staff to adjust the opening speed and hold-open time to accommodate changing weather conditions and the level of foot traffic, whilst energy-efficient features automatically reduce power usage without sacrificing functionality.

Minimising unscheduled downtime, both the TORMAX door and iMotion 2202.A operator are sturdy and robust, ensuring they can withstand the inevitable knocks as people transfer their loads.
