Access control equipment from Alpro Architectural
April 2012
PRESS RELEASE 11th April 2012
Access control equipment from Alpro Architectural Hardware has been used at a premium residential development on the Dorset coast, the Hutton Apartments in Weymouth, which also feature a ‘time capsule’ left by primary schoolchildren. The Alpro installation includes electric strikes and transom closers. The strikes are Alpro’s ANSI-style models which can be used in metal or timber door applications. They are 12/24v selectable and have a holding force of 1,750kg (3,860lbs.) The units’ deep jaws will accept a 13mm latch bolt, and electrical current consumption is low at 200mA and 100mA (+15%) for 12vDC and 24vDC respectively. A rectifier sounder module enables operation with AC current. With either current type, the sounder can be set for either buzzing or silence.
The strikes have a simple fail safe/fail secure changeover and are supplied with a six-year guarantee. With an overall depth of 35mm, the cast aluminium body is more compact than many competitive offerings. Ingress protection is IP56 which is of particular value in the seafront application described here.
The apartment development is in the Greenhill suburb of Weymouth. It consists of two blocks of three and four storeys including penthouse levels and rotundas. As the foundations of the buildings were being finished, pupils from nearby St John’s C of E Primary School left mementoes for future generations in a time capsule. The children wrote about their lives and placed toys, coins and memorabilia in the capsule along with a history of the school and items of uniform. Keith Parry, Divisional Sales Manager at Alpro, said: “The compact nature of these AL110 strikes means that the dimensions of frame cut-outs are minimised and doors can remain robust, making the strikes attractive to fabricators who can use short or long faceplates according to whether the door is metal or timber. The exceptional holding force is important at a residential site as is versatility in terms of the default lock or open fail position should power to the strike be removed.”

Transom Door Closers from Alpro Hardware
March 2012
PRESS RELEASE 15th March 2012
Exeter Chiefs, one of the UK’s leading rugby clubs, is using transom door closers from Alpro Architectural Hardware at its new 10,000-capacity Sandy Park stadium in Devon.
Alpro’s overhead transom closers are a means of hydraulically controlling the opening and closing of aluminium doors and can have light, medium or heavy spring strengths to suit type of usage, with a 90 degree hold-open option.
The rugby club is using the devices at main entrance points to the ground and for corporate boxes in its west stand, with facility managers benefitting from the ability to adjust the latching and closing force created by the hydraulic valve activity according to the weight and height of individual doors.
Transom closers are well suited for use at sports venues since alternative options such as spring hinges and floor springs present problems in terms of lack of adjustment flexibility and difficult installations into concrete floors.
Keith Parry, Divisional Sales Manager at Alpro, said: “Transom overhead door closers are designed to be contained within the transom header bar of the door. The concealed operation lends itself to sports venues and particularly sponsored areas since the aesthetic appearance of doors is left uncompromised. Once fitted, even the heaviest single or double-action aluminium doors will function continuously with minimal maintenance.”
The Alpro units were installed by Exmouth-based MPS Architectural Aluminium who are a leading commercial fabricator and supplier with a 20-year track record and prestigious portfolio. MPS use these closers extensively and their clients benefit from durability which has been tested independently at 250,000 double-action cycles to EN 1154
The new Sandy Park rugby stadium was built at a cost of £15m with Dean & Dyball Construction Ltd acting as main contractor. At time of writing, the Exeter Chiefs are mid-table in the top tier of English rugby.
