Kaba fire protection automatic sliding doors protect College Sports Complex at Malvern 

Kaba Door Systems, has provided automatic sliding fire protection doors at Malvern College, Worcestershire.  Working with the builders Speller Metcalfe, Kaba provided two sets of automatic sliding fire protection doors with a full breakout facility to the new sports and leisure complex at the College. 

The automatic bi-parting fire protection doors - SLX-SBF – fitted to the main entrance - prevent the spread of fire and smoke as well as providing a safe escape route, effectively sectioning the area off. The doors, unique to Kaba, provide 30 minute fire protection, reduce smoke spread and on emergency activation, automatically convert into a manual swing doors. In this mode the doors can be pushed open providing an effective escape route. The invisible door closers ensure that the doors close and resume their fire barrier status after every use.  

The new sports development at the College was opened on 16^th October by HRH The Duke of York where a plaque was unveiled to commemorate the occasion. The College founded in1865 has an excellent reputation for sportsmen and sportswomen. 

Headmaster Antony Clark said “We are delighted to have opened this wonderful new facility which has been superbly designed and built to make it the best facility of its kind in the area”
