ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems partnered with AOC Johannesburg and Reusable Walling Systems to install five safe, secure and convenient entrance and exit solutions at Rosebank Towers in Johannesburg.

Besam door systems present a great entrance and exit solution for businesses such as Rosebank Towers, with aesthetically appealing doors that further enhance the building’s appearance. The high-quality and value for money offered in Besam products, combined with excellent service were fundamental in positioning ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems as the preferred entrance solutions supplier.

As an environmentally conscious company, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems offers automatic door systems that deliver energy savings by not only helping to maintain the controlled air-conditioned climate inside but also by keeping heat and wind outside. The air-conditioners maintain their pre-set temperatures, thus consuming less electricity presenting a cost saving for the building and a reduction in the use of South Africa’s finite coal resources.

Rosebank Towers is an exclusive, multi-tenanted office building in the heart of the Rosebank CBD. Positioned opposite the Firs and across the road from the exclusive Hyatt Hotel, it presents the perfect location for a head office; it is within walking distance from the Rosebank Gautrain and only five minutes from the M1 freeway.

Rosebank Towers is complemented by easy vehicular access, strong pedestrian links, and an identifiable visual approach. The landscaped pedestrian sidewalk integrates the building and the street environment.

ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems received the orders to supply and install the five Besam SL500 units at Rosebank Towers during 2016. As all door systems for Rosebank Towers are frameless, top and bottom rails were added on the doors and frameless floor guides. The first order called for two Besam single slider entrance and exit doors complete with accessories. The second order included one Besam bi-parting sliding door mechanism as well as two Besam single slider doors.

The Besam SL500 operates electromechanically; the motor, control unit, transmission (and optional emergency unit and electromechanical locking device) are all assembled in a support beam with an integrated cover. The motor and gear box transmit movement to the door leaves by mean of a tooth belt.

The feature-rich Besam door systems are renowned for their versatile functionality and convenience; the user can switch the door sensors to a range of options. The doors can, for example, be set to automatic for normal door operation allowing two-way traffic while the one-way setting allows passage from the inside only. An electromechanical locking device locks the door and can only be opened with an inner activation unit or with a key switch/emergency push-button.

The auto-partial setting allows for partial opening during two-way traffic. The reset option returns the doors to the closed position and the doors will then function as normal. The doors can also be set on permanently open or closed.

The high quality and durability of Besam door systems carry a twelve month warranty beginning at the time of delivery and regular inspection by trained and qualified personnel ensures that the doors are properly maintained.
