Turning to a multitude of vendors and systems for solutions can create a logistical nightmare for architects and general contractors. Luckily for W. L. Hall Company customers, McKEON has a wide variety of life safety and security door products to provide myriad design solutions.


Here are two examples:

Gateway MXD, Minneapolis, MN – Smallwood Architects:

Problem:   
How do we provide a security door in the unlikely event a building occupant is in the wrong place at the wrong time? Do we have to break up a wide-open, flowing hallway by installing a pair of security doors that will never be used but will always be in the way?
