Leading door manufacturer and supplier Kaba Door Systems, has provided automatic sliding doors at Headington School, Oxford.
Working with Kingerlee Construction, Kaba installed two bi-parting sliding door systems and a telescopic sliding door to a new extension at the prestigious school.The two sets of 6 metre wide Bi-parting sliding doors form the main entrance to the new music room building, the outer door linking into the existing access control and computer systems to ensure the doors can be continually monitored. The inner door has sensor activation and leads through to the main building.

Michael Clarkson (Mr), Bursar of Headington School said “The Kaba doors were a key feature of the Music School for both aesthetic and practical reasons. We have used these doors to draw light into the building as well as to create a sense of space – this is particularly true of the telescopic door that connects the main teaching room to the external amphitheatre.
We are also very pleased with the quality of the doors and the technical solution used to control access as together these will ensure that we will have few maintenance problems in the future. Kaba, working with Kingerlee Construction, has provided an excellent solution to our needs.”
