The Challenge

A large-scale office and research center spanning 14 acres and over 575,000 square feet, faced significant issues related to noise pollution and security. The facility’s modern design featured extensive glass and hard surfaces, leading to excessive echoing and noise transmission. Employees working in nearby offices reported frequent disruptions, making it difficult to maintain a quiet, focused work environment. Additionally, certain exterior-facing doors did not always shut properly, raising security concerns.

The Solution

To address these issues, the facility upgraded their existing solution to the new HES 9200 Series Electric Strikes. Key factors in selecting this product included:

  • Noise Reduction: The new system significantly reduced residual noise pollution and echoing in the facility.
  • Improved Security: The doors now shut properly, eliminating previous security risks associated with unsecured entrances. 
  • Quick and Simple Installation: Unlike the previous system, which required extensive modifications, the new doors were a quick retrofit that did not disrupt daily operations. 

“The ease of installation and the immediate improvements in noise control and security made this an easy decision. After seeing the positive impact on our work environment, we quickly decided to retrofit all our doors.”

The Results

By implementing this advanced door solution, the facility successfully enhanced security, reduced noise disruptions, and streamlined installation processes. This case study demonstrates how modern door technology can improve workplace environments with minimal disruption and long-term benefits

  • Reduced Disruptions: Employees experienced a quieter work environment, improving focus and productivity.
  • Enhanced Security: Properly closing doors ensured the facility remained secure.
  • Efficient Installation: What was previously an 8-hour process was reduced to just one hour, minimizing downtime.
  • Scalability: After testing the first installation, the facility expanded the solution to all high-traffic doors
