Phoenix doors order for Royal Oman Police (Nov 2011)

Jewers Doors is to supply four doors from its Phoenix range to the Royal Oman Police in Muscat, Oman. The order, to design, build and supply doors for a new Workshop Facility at Airport Heights, was secured by Jewers Doors' reseller in Oman, Yousuf Bin Ahmed Al-Aamri Trading L.L.C. (Y.A.A.T).

Y.A.A.T. has worked closely with Royal Oman Police, the Architect and Main Contractor involved in the new workshop project to ensure that the finished doors will match the building and meet fully the client's requirements.

Phoenix director, Mark Jewers, says: "This project is an excellent example of how Jewers Doors, through its network of Phoenix door resellers around the globe, can design, manufacture and supply high performance doors to meet any requirement anywhere in the world."

Of the four doors to be supplied, two will be our high-speed side-hung Swift bi-folding doors. One each of our Osprey sliding-folding and Kingfisher straight-sliding doors. Doors are fitted with wireless safety edges, wireless photocells and variable speed drive motors which automatically slow the doors as they reach the fully closed position.

The Phoenix range of doors are highly insulated, secure, exceptionally robust and reliable with extremely low maintenance requirements – all of which are a necessity for an industrial working environment.

Importantly, compared to vertically opening door designs, there is a much lower probability of the horizontally moving Phoenix doors being damaged by vehicles entering/exiting the openings because drivers can judge the clear width more easily than the clear height. It is very common for a vehicle to be driven through the opening before a vertically moving door is fully raised, thus damaging the door and the vehicle. This makes the life-cycle cost for maintenance, repair and replacement of Phoenix doors much lower than vertically opening doors.
