DOOR AND ENTRANCE ADAPTIONS
AND PROTECTIVE HYGIENE SCREENS
TO PROTECT STAFF & VISITORS
MGS Ltd, a UK based manufacturer and
installer of Door and Entrance systems, is
helping customers to adapt buildings ready
for reopening with their Automatic Touch Free
Door opening and Protective Hygiene Screens
solutions to help reduce contact points and
cross-contamination in the workplace.
Since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown, many
public facing businesses have changed or are
planning to adjust their building entrance, reception
and o ice areas to facilitate social distancing
requirements and safeguard sta and visitors.
As Risk Assessments
are required as part of
returning to business,
property managers are
looking for options to
reduce contact with
doors at entry points and
within buildings, whilst
keeping maintenance
costs down. MGS have a
range of “Touch Free” opening solutions suitable for
converting manual doors to automatic and modifying
existing automatic or low energy doors that use push
pad activation.
“Touch Free” automatic door opening systems
allow doors to be activated, opening occurs by hand
movement in front of a sensor, rather than touching
the door, push pad or switch. This helps to retain
the automatic door push pad functionality
building users are accustomed to whilst
preventing the need for hand contact on any
part of the door or surround.
As entrances and public welcome areas
are prepared for reopening, some customers
have requested an aesthetic and nonintrusive
solution for reception and o ice
desk screens, to provide a clear barrier
between customers, sta and colleagues to
help reduce physical contact, touch points
and encourage social distancing.
The MGS Reception Shield is a protective screen
system that can be easily fitted and removed without
damage to the reception or o ice. Specifically
designed for environments where it is important
to maintain high-quality building aesthetics and a
superior welcoming experience for visitors, its unique
design allows a screen barrier to be safely fitted where
fixing and drilling is not possible or appropriate.
The Reception Shield is available in a range of
finishes with optional fixing points and side returns
to provide social distancing to protect sta , work
colleagues and visitors.
Jason Pease, Managing Director at MGS comments:
“As Door and Entrance specialists aligned to support
M&E and FM contractors and Building owners, we
understand these environments and are able to work
to the timescales required to help customers make
adaptions ready for reopening, by o ering a range
of Door & Screen products that meet the need for
reduced hand contact contamination and provide
screening for social distancing at work.”
