Seamless access from check-in to cabin
Cabin doors
Enhance cabin door convenience and security with easy-open door closers that provide smooth, self-closing functionality without the usual resistance, electronic fittings for authorized access, and a mechanical backup for reliable operation at sea.
ADA Cabin doors
For ADA cabins, we provide automatic door opening with a door operator, combined with an electronic reader or fitting and an electric strike to ensure easy and accessible entry for all passengers.
Convenient access
In high-traffic areas on the ship, sea water resistant automatic sliding doors offer enhanced convenience, especially in spaces like restaurants and shopping zones.
Airlock
Installed in sequence, two pairs of sliding doors create an airlock system that enhances climate control and reduces energy loss.
Fire & emergency exits
Our fire-rated and emergency exit swing door solutions ensure safe, reliable evacuation routes while meeting strict maritime safety standards.
Exclusive areas
In entertainment areas, selective access sensor barriers and turnstiles help efficiently control access and manage passenger flow.
Staff only
With card, fob, or biometric credentials, our electronic access systems protect staff-only spaces—from technical rooms and crew lounges to storage and maintenance areas.
Terminal
Sensor barriers ensure seamless passenger flow at cruise and ferry terminals, creating a smooth and relaxed self-boarding experience.
