Timely replacement is imperative. The present doors are set within a bronze anodized storefront. Both pairs of doors have a key locking system. The inner pair of vestibule doors have an additional magnetic locking system which is operated by our Lenel Enterprise Physical Access Control System (ePACS). The objective of this project is to replace both the inner and outer pairs of doors within the present storefront framing and matching the existing bronze anodized framing. The existing magnetic locking system on the inner vestibule doors as well as the request to exit detection (REX) and push-to-exit button are to be removed and replaced by an electric door strike system installed in the new interior active entrance door and integrated into the existing Lenel ePACS system.
