Architects and planners develop rooms, building and cities from their computers. Ever more complex planning generates ever more complex construction processes, where whole projects have to be broken down into every detail. Together with its partners, ECO Schulte makes a contribution towards keeping the world of hardware and software on doors both manageable and predictable. The future of planning is digital – and flexible.

ECO Schulte provides all the support and engineering services necessary for the planning and development of complex door systems. We make planning data available for the range of hardware and mechatronics for wood, steel and section doors. And, in case of any difficulty, our experts in technology and norms are on hand to help. What best complements good information is always perfect service.

Case study #1

A Shopping Centre

This single, timeless fire escape door cuts off a fire section here in a department store. These doors are little used and must remain closed on a day-to-day basis. This is ensured by means of a mechanical lock and a mechanical door closer. A panic bar in combination with a panic lock (tested according to the EN 1125 standard) enables the locked door to be opened from the inside in case of fire or with any necessary evacuation procedure.

Case study #3

Underground car park

In this semi-public underground car park, which is typically found in a hotel, a fire protection door acts as a barrier between the car park and the hotel section. As arriving and departing guests carry suitcases and bags, a standard feature is automatic opening and locking of this door. A card reader or a code keypad allows various straightforward options for granting access. This can be time-controlled or needs-based. The openings can be documented electronically to show who has entered the building through this door. If the door is part of an escape routes system, then panic locks and/or panic bars can be integrated in it.

Two partners who ideally complement each other. ECOSchulte from Menden in North-Rhine Westphalia
and BSW SECURITY AG from Switzerland. Their expertise in clearly defined and they complement each other perfectly. ECO Schulte is the specialist for the hardware on the door. From handles and hinges, fittings, door closers and lock technology; the range works for all kinds of doors – profile doors, steel doors and wooden doors. BSW SECURITY then integrates the ECO Schulte hardware into the building process control and fire detection technology. The objective of this partnership of specialists is to integrate all the mechatronics and electronics to do with the doors – with open interfaces to the building process control system.

Intelligent Door Management (ITM) makes high demands
on both the mechanical and the electronic components. The planning for all parties involved in the construction process is just as demanding – no matter whether this is on the part of the contractors, the architects, the specialist planners for technical building equipment or the companies that carry out the work. As a system specialist for doors, this cooperation, based in Menden, is able to put together a complete, turnkey offer for any demanding door facilities. This can take account of all aspects including security, access control, escape routes and fire protection. ECO Schulte sees itself here as a system integrator – even for solutions involving different manufacturers. Any change of use of existing facilities are also possible here if, for example, existing components can be taken over.

Planners and contractors can expect a complete package of hardware, software and electronics as well as planning and service fromECOSchulte. And of course the guarantee that the system, as well as each individual component, conforms with the current standards.
