Concept
A modern entrance
A flush aluminium front door, a garage door and gate in the same finish, and an arrival that unlocks, opens and closes from one app.
Concept. An illustration of how products from our catalogue can work together. Not a completed project: no client, location, date or result is implied.
Arrival as one gesture: the gate slides, the garage opens, the front door unlocks, and everything closes and locks behind you1.
The idea
A modern entrance is quiet: a flush front door, a garage door and a gate in the same dark finish, and no clutter of keypads and boxes. The products are chosen together for how they look, and connected for how they work.
The door
The CREO aluminium front door has a 77 mm leaf clad flush on both faces and a thermally broken frame, with burglar resistance up to RC3 and a Ud from 0.8 W/m²K at its reference size2. Keyless opening is among its options2.
NOVA pairs a steel leaf with a thermally broken aluminium frame, is RC2 as standard and can take a motorised lock3.
The set
Carry the door’s finish to the garage door and the gate: the same finish can carry across front door, garage door and gate4. PRIME, the flagship sectional door, is supplied motorised, with photocells and external optical sensors as standard5, and its Black Edition is black inside too6.
A sliding gate runs along the fence line with no track across the drive, and its drive can be housed inside the gate post7.
The arrival
With Intelligent Systems, the gate, the garage door and the front door run from one app, with no extra hub for those three: the connection is built into the drives1. An electric lock unlocks from the app, a code or a scene, and locks again when the door closes; a concealed closer brings the door home, gently, every time1.
Remotes, keypads and wall switches keep working as before, and the app catches up when the internet returns1.
Things to decide
- The door: flush aluminium, or steel on an aluminium frame.
- The level of security, from RC2 to RC3.
- One finish for door, garage door and gate.
- Which entrances join the app, and who gets access.
- Compatibility of each drive, confirmed at survey1.
