An automated door opener was required for a local customer. We converted the existing manual door to a fully automated door. This was particularly tricky as the existing composite door had an old Winkhaus Heritage locking system where the cylinder sits in a different place than usual. However, we managed to overcome this by using the latest Winkhaus AV4E Heritage lock, which only came out recently. This helped us automate the lock without needing to use cover plates. We also installed a Somfy Tahoma hub that allows the client to control the door with an application on his phone, as well as a key fob & wall switch.
