As part of the prestigious Dover House project, Tormax Australia played a key role in ensuring seamless and state-of-the-art accessibility. Their contribution involved the supply, installation, and commissioning of oversized main entry automatic doors. These doors, powered by the Tormax 2401 Heavy Duty Operator, stand an impressive 4m high and 2m wide, making them one of the tallest automatic doors ever installed in a commercial building.
“The sheer size and weight of these doors made this project particularly unique,” said Aaron Cannata, Sales Manager at Tormax Australia. “We had to bring in specialist lifting equipment to handle the weight during installation, but the final result is a testament to the strength and engineering behind the Tormax imotion 2401 operator.”
Designed to comply with Australian Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) standards, these doors blend aesthetics with functionality. The automation of manual sliding door systems, initially sourced from overseas, required engineering precision to meet local compliance standards.
“The panels’ size showcases the reliability of our operator systems, while also adding a touch of grandeur to the building’s entrance,” Aaron added. “These doors will provide smooth, long-term service for the many visitors who pass through them.”
All work on the Dover House project was completed in-house by Tormax’s trained technicians, ensuring the highest levels of craftsmanship and consistency.
Tormax’s involvement at Dover House is just one of many projects they are proud to highlight, along with other notable installations, including Seafarers Docklands and Ryton Girls School’s auditorium.
With its head office in Melbourne and branches in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Launceston, and Sydney, Tormax has been operating in Australia since 1982 and is supported by a strong network of distributors across the country.
