Automatic Doors and Associated Systems

Automatic doors and associated systems support accessible, safe, and secure access to buildings and associated areas for residents, staff and visitors, representing critical assets across Anchor's portfolio. Ensuring that these assets are appropriately identified, maintained, repaired and replaced forms an important part of Anchor's compliance and asset management responsibilities.
