Senior Door Systems accept door furniture from a wide range of manufacturers

◊ Appearance
The SD range of profiles has been developed to offer building designers a real choice. Door stiles and rails are available in two widths with a range of mid-rails to allow further architectural expression. Doors may be fully or partly glazed and louvered where required.

In automatic door applications, a purpose designed header bar is available to accept the automatic door gear so that visual integrity is not compromised.

◊ Construction
Senior Doors are designed to give long term performance in high traffic areas. All are mechanically jointed - screwed and bolted - using purpose designed cleats with torsion bars for additional strength.

Should emergency repairs be necessary following attempted burglary or other damage, this method of construction allows individual stiles and rails to be replaced on site without having to take the door leaf concerned to a fabrication workshop.

Senior Door Systems have integral double weatherpile grooves in door stiles with additional sections, secret and face fixed, to accept brush seals where required.

◊ Door Furniture
Senior Door Systems accept door furniture from a wide range of manufacturers. All Senior service centres are stockists of the Alpro handle range and can offer several ranges of contemporary door furniture including traditional materials; stainless steel, brass and bronze to suit new and refurbished buildings.

◊ Finishes
Senior Door Systems are available in mill finish for final finishing by others, natural (silver) and bronze (Anolok 547) anodised to BS 3987: 1991 or powder coated to BS 6496: 1984. Many profiles are held in stock in natural and bronze anodised finish.

◊ Glazing
Senior Door Systems are designed to accept single glazing from 6mm to 12mm in thicknesses and double glazing to a maximum of 24mm. All glazing should be carried out to the recommendation of BS 6262. All glass is dry glazed using a combination of captive and wedge gaskets manufactured on accordance with BS 3734.

◊ Safety and Security
A typical Senior door installation would include a deadlock to the opening leaf with flush bolts to slave leaves. However, the SD suite of profiles accepts a wide range of high performance manual and automatic locking systems. Additional security is provided by security beading systems either secretly riveted to the door rails or extruded as an integral part of the rail itself.

Safety has also become an essential consideration of door installations and the Senior range now includes an anti-finger trap door stile for single and double action personnel doors, together with a stile developed particularly for panic bar applications.

◊ Weathering
Senior Door Systems have integral double weatherpile grooves in door stiles with additional sections, secret and face fixed, to accept brush seals where required.
