Case Study: Automatic Doors: Cycle Hub - Leeds

Secure cycle hubs and cycle compounds provide a high security, durable and attractive solution for cycle parking. Cycle hubs and cycle compounds provide a secure cycle facility where users can leave their cycles in confidence. Cycle hubs and compounds can be bespoke designed and constructed from high density mesh or toughened glass. Cycle hubs and compounds provide an area where multiple cycles can be parked within a dry and secure space. They are ideal for universities, cities, train stations and more where a large number of cycles need to be parked.

Cycle Hub: Automatic Door Situation:

Recently, a busy cycling hub in Leeds approached ADSF UK LTD to request assistance in finding the right automatic door solution for the premises. The automatic doors for the cycle hub needed to be robust and with an access control panel to keep the hub secure. Access is for members of the cycle hub only in order to prevent bike theft.

Cycle Hub: Automatic Door Solution:

To meet the needs of the client in totality, ADSF UK LTD installed robust commercial aluminium doors with quality Premis 120 Automatic Swing door operators.
The entry point of the cycle hub that controlled the automatic doors was fitted with an access control panel that solely allowed members of the cycle club inside by means of swiping their entry card.

Cycle Hub: Automatic Door Outcome:

The Cycle Hubs automatic doors were indeed robust and could easily take the daily knocks and scrapes from bikes entering and exiting the hub. The reinforced glass meant that in the event of a cyclist cycling into the hub at considerable speed the automatic doors in the hub would not break. Apart from the automatic doors being robust, they were also very safe and minimized the chances of injury. The automatic door operators were in addition highly durable to ensure they could cope with the demands of continuous opening and closing. The sensors were set on a mode that would be sensitive enough to know when a bike had passed safely through the entrance or had exited the hub. This again protected both cyclists and the doors from any damage.
The access panel that required a swipe card ensured that the cyclist's bikes were kept safely undercover, without bike thieves being able to enter the hub. The hub also featured CCTV cameras so that anyone who forced their way in behind a cyclist would be immediately picked up on camera.
The solution fitted all the criteria that the Cycle Hub required and the automatic doors made it quick, easy, convenient and above all safe for cyclists to enter and exit the Cycle Hub.

Automatic Door System: Additional Benefits

The automatic door solution installed by ADSF UK LTD has helped the city of Leeds reduce the numbers of bike crime and has encouraged far more individuals to join the Cycle hub scheme. This of course will help the client to recoup its initial investment far more quickly.
The reduction of bike crime makes cycling a far more popular option and of course helps to reduce congestion in the city of Leeds.
