Common Accessories & Upgrades for Architects

Dual Soft Close
Enhance the user experience with controlled, soft-closing door operation from both directions. Dual soft close systems gently decelerate the door before bringing it smoothly into the open and closed position, helping to reduce impact, minimise noise and improve longevity. Ideal for hospitality, residential and commercial environments where premium performance and occupant comfort are key design considerations.
Low Headroom Kits
Designed for projects where headroom is limited, low headroom kits allow architects to incorporate sliding door systems without compromising design intent. By reducing the required clearance between the door and track, these systems provide greater flexibility when working with constrained ceiling heights, structural elements or refurbishment projects.
Simultaneous Action Kits
Create wider clear openings without increasing operating effort. Simultaneous action systems allow multiple door panels to move together from a single operation, making them ideal for large openings where space efficiency and accessibility are priorities. Perfect for flexible commercial spaces, hospitality environments and contemporary residential applications.
Flush Pulls
Combining functionality with minimalist aesthetics, flush pulls sit neatly within the door face to create a clean, unobtrusive appearance. Available in a range of finishes to complement modern architectural interiors, flush pulls are ideal for projects where attention to detail and a streamlined design language are essential.
