High Well School in Pontefract supports pupils’ academic, social and emotional development through tailored learning, helping them build confidence and prepare for further education.
The Challenge – Frequent damage to existing wooden doors was leaving classrooms and other areas insecure. The school needed a stronger, more reliable solution across classrooms, staff rooms, corridors and entrances that could withstand demanding daily use.
The replacement doors also needed to integrate with the school’s fob-based access control system to prevent unauthorised access.
Our Solution – Smart Door Solutions Ltd supplied and installed the specialist steel doorsets, selected for their strength, durability and suitability for the school’s environment, while complementing its existing appearance.
Key features included:
- Heavy-duty 2.0mm steel door leaves with solid timber cores.
- Integrated door closers and durable quadrant-style safety pull handles.
- Three integrated, monitored magnetic locks per doorset.
- High-security small vision panels.
The multiple locking points help resist bending and forced opening, while securely fixed handles and compact vision panels reduce vulnerability to damage.
The Results – The new doorsets have improved security throughout the school, supporting a safer environment for pupils and staff.
The school has reported improved reliability and greater confidence that rooms remain secure, along with positive feedback and recommendations to other schools locally.
Ourselves and the school are very happy with the install carried out by our engineers, another great project by Smart Door Solutions Ltd!
