Access to Adventure with TORMAX

Creating a welcoming and efficient new main entrance to the fantastical family attraction of Hobbledown in Surrey, TORMAX was recently contracted to install a double set of bi-parting automatic sliding doors, powered by their Swiss-engineered iMotion 2202 door drives.

Offering unparalleled reliability and smooth operation, the doors feature advanced motion sensor technology, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and safety. An intelligent control system adapts to varying traffic patterns, minimizing power consumption whilst maximising performance.

“Hobbledown is an incredibly popular local attraction with many visitors everyday” confirms Ashley Terry, at Hobbledown. “The new main automatic entrance doors help to keep foot traffic moving quickly and efficiently, especially at the start of the day when the crowds tend to arrive at once.”

Hobbledown first opened its doors in 2012, delivering a truly extraordinary family day out. Designed with a fantastical, storybook-themed environment, the attraction offers a unique blend of adventure play, interactive exhibits, and animal encounters.

Aiming to ensure everyone can enjoy Hobbledown, many attractions are accessible to the less able, along with a restaurant, toilets and dedicated parking facilities too.

The new TORMAX automatic entrance system sets the standard for a welcoming day to everyone. Visitors enter the ticket office through the outer set of sliding doors, before exiting through the second set, directly into the park. This configuration creates a spacious reception lobby area that is easily accessible for everyone, including young children, parents with children in buggies as well wheelchair users.

TORMAX is a leading provider of innovative automatic entrance systems, including revolving, sliding, swing and folding doors. With a focus on precision engineering and advanced technology, TORMAX offers reliable, energy-efficient solutions for almost any location. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction sets them apart in the industry.
