Upgrade Old Automatic Doors Without Full Replacement

Frameshft modernises aging automatic door systems in Singapore, restoring safety compliance and extending operational life without full structural reconstruction.

Why Aging Automatic Door Systems Become a Liability

Facility managers across Singapore face mounting pressure from door systems that were never designed to meet today's safety and compliance demands.

  1. 01

    Frequent faults disrupt daily operations

    Aging operators break down with increasing regularity, creating unplanned downtime and putting pressure on FM teams to manage reactive repairs across multiple vendors.

  2. 02

    Compliance gaps expose your facility to risk

    Older door systems often fall outside current standards such as DIN18650-1 and EN16005, creating audit exposure and potential liability for building managers.

  3. 03

    Full replacement costs strain capex budgets

    Replacing entire door assemblies including frames and structural elements is expensive and often unnecessary when the core issue is an aging operator or controller.

Modernise Your Entrance System Without Starting Over

Frameshft's retrofit and modernisation service upgrades aging automatic door operators and controllers to current safety and performance standards without full frame reconstruction. One partner handles site assessment, system design, supply, installation, and ongoing maintenance — eliminating vendor fragmentation from day one.
