Case Study: Alton Towers Resort achieves discreet, design‑preserving, fire‑compliant door closing at CBeebies Land Hotel with dormakaba

dormakaba delivers a door closing solution to CBeebies Land Hotel At Alton Towers Resort

Alton Towers Resort’s new CBeebies Land Hotel needed a door-closing solution that would preserve the hotel’s intricate screen‑printed vinyl bedroom doors while complying with access and fire regulations. Architectural ironmongers G Johns & Sons specified dormakaba’s ITS96 and ITS96 EMF closers to meet the brief for a discreet, child‑friendly design that would not spoil the rooms’ themed artwork.

dormakaba supplied ITS96 concealed closers for all 76 bedroom doors and ITS96 EMF units for cross‑corridor and staircase fire doors, delivering a fully concealed appearance, low opening forces for Approved Document M compliance, and a cushioned stop to protect doors. The ITS96 EMF hold‑open feature reduced evening corridor noise for guests and releases automatically in an emergency; both products are third‑party tested to BS EN1155 and CERTIFIRE, ensuring regulatory compliance and a quieter, safer stay.
