City Academy aims to educate everyone in their local community and their student population reflects and celebrates these diverse communities.
After significant damage was made to their existing aluminium doors, the Defender Xtraguard offered a high-security solution.
Steel door solutions for the Education Sector
Bristol City Academy offer a strong academic curriculum reinforced with opportunities for creative subjects taught by specialist teachers and supported by a very strong pastoral care team. This includes a dedicated EAL team and Special Needs Resource Base.
The problem?
Previously, City Academy had aluminium doors that experienced high traffic and consistent exposure to abnormal stress, making them unfit for purpose. As a result, they were damaged to the extent that security and premium quality solutions needed to be considered.
The solution?
To offer a long-lasting solution to their requirements, City Academy approached Metador through their contractor, who specified the Defender Xtraguard as a high-security solution.
Metador manufactured steel doorsets with specialist features, designed with their purpose and application in mind. They include:
- Integrated Maglocks to the lock post for an immediate secure locking
- V-locks, capable of withstanding 1 tonne of side pressure
- Durable Handles, a customised solution made from 4mm 316 Grade stainless steel
- High Security vision panels, adding premium protection.
We were delighted that we could assist Gem Security Systems Ltd with the design, manufacture, and supply of our bespoke and quality steel doorsets.
The school provides specialist education to students, and the old doors were made of aluminium, which could easily be kicked open.
We were asked to develop a more robust safeguarding solution in partnership with Metador.
Through collaboration, we successfully produced a long-lasting, high-security solution that integrated with the existing access control system while maintaining the building’s design and appearance.
