In the bustling realm of modern architecture, where functionality intertwines seamlessly with aesthetics, one company stands at the forefront of innovation, shaping the way we interact with our surroundings. Meet AlMoosa Doors, a pioneering force in the realm of automatic pedestrian doors. With a commitment to accessibility, safety, and cutting-edge technology, AlMoosa Doors has transformed the landscape of entrances and exits across Saudi Arabia.
“Working together with our esteemed Spanish partner at AlMoosa Doors, Manusa, we prioritize maintaining high quality in every stage of the process,” explains Georges Mardiny, Access Solutions Division Head at the company.
“Quality, for us, isn’t just a box to tick; it’s woven into the very fabric of AlMoosa Doors – from the initial design stage to meticulous manufacturing and onto careful packaging, storage, reliable delivery, and accurate installation. It doesn’t end there, though. As a company, we pride ourselves on the aftercare we provide for our clients.
“Our commitment to excellence extends beyond mere compliance. Our products proudly carry the highest international certifications. The automatic pedestrian doors supplied by Manusa fall under the EN 16005 certificate. It ensures that we comply with safety standards for automatic pedestrian doors. This covers the entire spectrum of design, installation, and maintenance, including the incorporation of essential safety features and sensors.
“In addition, with our supplier, Manusa, we actively oversee the Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) process, aligning with ISO guidelines such as ISO 14025, ISO 21930, and ISO 15804. These declarations aim to furnish quantitative insights into the environmental impacts of our products throughout their lifecycle.
“Quality, for us, isn’t just a box to tick; it’s woven into the very fabric of AlMoosa Doors”
“Moreover, we go above and beyond by rigorously testing our products beyond the requirements necessary for certification. This commitment ensures that choosing AlMoosa Doors and Manusa isn’t just about getting a product; it’s also about investing in a simple blend of craftsmanship, trust, and assurance.”
Not Just Doors, but Tech Wizards!
AlMoosa Doors’ Access Solutions Department offers a wide range of pedestrian automatic doors, including automatic sliding doors for malls and revolving doors for hotels and hospitals. “The doors we choose for each location are based on the relevant codes and standards,” Georges says. “We’ve got automatic sliding emergency exit doors too. These doors act like superheroes in an emergency but still slide like regular doors under normal conditions. And we’ve got some doors that barely have a visible frame, so they’re super sleek and don’t mess with the ambiance of a project.”
Dealing with fire means acting quickly, and AlMoosa Doors can supply an entire system – automation, aluminum profile, and glass – certified and ready to respond immediately in an emergency.
“Our Manusa doors aren’t just high quality,” Georges continues, “they’re like tech wizards. Our Visio+ operator brings IoT Wi-Fi remote access, inverter technology, Triphasic AC tech for motors, and high-tech motion and presence detectors.
“We’ve got something special for hospital ICUs too – semi-fixed doors. They slide in normal situations, but when a nurse needs more space for a bed, they swing open. Nowadays, when it comes to pedestrian doors, we can tweak them to suit any project – size, profile, color, you name it. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered!”
All AlMoosa Doors products come in an attractive silver anodized finish, and can be customized to any color from the RAL palette
AlMoosa Doors has a variety of door options designed to handle different widths, weights, and heights. Its range includes curved, revolving, sliding, swinging, one-way corridor doors, and even specialized hospital doors. Each door comes with a choice of aluminum profiles, catering to various sizes and colors, including options from the RAL color palette.
To enhance the door experience, the company also offers a selection of accessories. These include night shields for revolving doors, concave or convex glass for curved doors, and main profiles in sizes like 430cm or 590cm.
What is more, while some installers use basic key patch locks on sliding doors to save money, AlMoosa Doors uses premium materials to ensure quality, functionality, durability, and unrivalled aesthetics. Besides not looking great, the cheaper, lower-quality option makes the space to walk through smaller, as well as not letting clients enjoy the benefits of new technology. Automatic doors are all about being easy – no keys, safe, and super simple.
All AlMoosa Doors products come in an attractive silver anodized finish too, and they can be customized to any color from the RAL palette. Its doors feature mechanical leaf holders, eliminating the need for silicone inserts or glass drilling, resulting in superior aesthetics and durability. Additionally, electro-mechanical locks are cleverly integrated into the system, allowing remote control of the doors. This advanced locking system allows clients to control doors remotely.
Every six months during the warranty period, AlMoosa Doors provides a free preventive maintenance visit to check the door
Staying Ahead of the Game
With a reputation for unparalleled craftsmanship and unwavering dedication to quality, AlMoosa Doors’ team of engineers, salespeople, installers, and support specialists represents the pinnacle of expertise in the industry. Everyone comes with a wealth of knowledge and is fully supported in their continued professional development.
“Training is a big thing for us,” says Georges. “Whether it’s right here in Saudi Arabia or attending meetings with our vendors abroad, we’re always learning. We also have training materials available at all times, including weekly tests. We pursue a threat forecasting program that allows us to mitigate any risk in the event of an incident with minimal cost and rapid response for our clients. Whether it’s tricky technical problems, sales puzzles, or complex installations, we’ve been there and nailed it.
“We never just sit back and relax. We are always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. It’s what we do to stay in the loop with the latest trends. Our combined experience and commitment to staying ahead of the game mean we tackle technical challenges with confidence and skill.”
The company passes on this vast experience and expertise to its clients, advising on all aspects of pedestrian doors, including budget, as Georges explains: “I have noticed that many buyers, project managers, and aluminum providers often opt for cheaper doors. While the lower price tag may be tempting, it’s essential to consider all factors, including pre- and after-sales services, before making a decision.”
When it comes to automatic pedestrian doors, there are two phases to consider: before and after delivery.
Before delivery, a client must ask whether the cheaper door they are considering comes with the necessary guidance for their specific project. For instance, does the provider offer AutoCAD drawings to scale, clear manuals, and adhere to safety standards for sensors? Are they using the cheapest sensors possible, even if they don’t meet safety standards? And will they have a skilled team to install the door and deliver it on time?
These factors may seem small, but they can make a big difference in the overall success of a project.
After project delivery, it’s equally important to consider the ongoing maintenance and service needs of automatic pedestrian doors. Does the provider offer instructions on how to operate and maintain the door? Do they provide preventive maintenance services to ensure optimal performance? What is the cost of spare parts, especially the board and the motor, and how long is the warranty period? What are the most consumable parts of the door, and how long are they designed to last? What will happen if some parts fail?
While cheaper automatic pedestrian doors may seem like a bargain, they can end up costing more in the long run. Investing in a quality door that comes with excellent pre- and after-sales service can help save money and time in the long run.
Clients should not make decisions solely based on ‘numbers’; while important, they must align with value and quality.
Furthermore, there’s a widespread lack of awareness regarding how automatic doors can impact the overall user experience, safety, security, electricity bills, and pedestrian flow. Clients should reject installations that fall outside regulations and standards, ensuring no compromises on safety, aesthetics, and quality.
A door lacking a safety sensor isn’t truly safe. Similarly, a door without sufficient finger protection space or an emergency battery isn’t the safest option. Features like fire alarm connections, motors capable of bearing the installed leaf’s weight, and correct door functionality are crucial for maintaining safety. Neglecting any of these aspects puts safety at risk.
“Remember, investing in the right automatic pedestrian door can help you achieve the best results for your project. Don’t let a cheaper price tag be the only factor you consider when making a decision. And never forget, when you buy cheaper, you will end up paying more,” says Georges.
Clients receive an app allowing them to control the door, grant access, provide virtual keys, track usage, schedule doors, and change operating modes
Dedicated 24/7 Customer Service for Uninterrupted Support
AlMoosa Doors’ constant quest for quality in both product and service dictates that the installation process always begins with a site survey, with a sales coordinator visiting the site to note all client requirements, thereby ensuring that the correct solution is offered. Following this, the installation and commissioning are completed, and a detailed installation report is finalized. The client is not asked to sign the report until they are completely satisfied.
But it doesn’t end there. Every six months during the warranty period, AlMoosa Doors provides a free preventive maintenance visit to check the door. During this visit, the client can request any changes to door parameters.
“Each client is assigned a unique door service number, and they can reach us anytime on our 24/7 unified service number, “Georges says. “This number automatically generates a claim request, and clients can also track the progress of their claim through email updates. We are committed to ongoing support and satisfaction throughout the entire process.”
AlMoosa Doors ensures the safety and convenience of its clients through various features in its systems. Firstly, it installs emergency batteries in all systems, guaranteeing several door openings during a blackout to prevent anyone from being trapped.
Moreover, the company incorporates IoT smart Wi-Fi modules and Door Management Systems (DMS). Clients receive an app allowing them to control the door, grant access, provide virtual keys, track usage, schedule doors, and change operating modes – all accessible through their mobile or web app.
“Our systems are equipped with advanced safety features and motion detection technology. We use top-notch safety and motion sensors from Europe, integrating the latest technologies to ensure the doors open in the safest way with minimal faults,” Georges says. “Clients appreciate the robustness of our products. Out of three system options, two come with double-inverter triphasic AC motors. This not only provides redundancy in case of motor failure but also ensures powerful, speedy, and quiet operation for our clients. We are dedicated to delivering reliable and innovative solutions to meet our clients’ needs.”
Seamless Integration of Automatic Doors with Building Architecture
Among these clients are a number of the region’s leading consultants and architectural firms, with Georges explaining: “We prefer to be part of the project from the early stage, ideally during the initial planning and design phase. By being part of the projects at this early stage, we can provide architects and consultants with valuable insights into the integration of automatic pedestrian doors.
“This early involvement allows us to understand the specific needs of the project and tailor our solutions to meet the architectural vision. Early-stage involvement is also needed to ensure seamless integration of automatic doors in the overall design, both aesthetically and functionally, by ensuring that the doors not only meet safety and functionality standards but also contribute positively to the overall design aesthetics.
“Also, the early coordination will allow us more efficient coordination with other construction elements such as structure engineers, electrical systems, and finishing contractors. This will help us prevent unwanted issues and enhance the overall success of the project by delivering on time, on budget, and as per requirements and standards.”
And whatever the challenge, AlMoosa Doors has learned from experience that clients demand not only good prices but also speed of delivery. “We keep products in stock in Saudi Arabia, use efficient systems for managing our supplies, and work with experienced suppliers who know the market well,” Georges says. “Our planning and forecasting systems help us predict what the market needs, so we can have products ready when they’re needed. We also make sure we have a variety of products in stock that others might not have. This helps us get products to clients faster than many of our competitors.”
