Case Study: Transport for Greater Manchester Cycle Hub achieves reliable, space‑saving and safe cyclist access with dormakaba RST and ED 100 doors

Transport for Greater Manchester Cycle Hub - Customer Case Study

Transport for Greater Manchester Cycle Hub opened a major new facility in Manchester’s City Tower as part of the £6 million Commuter Cycle Project and needed a proven door specification to cope with high footfall and challenging conditions. Transport for Greater Manchester Cycle Hub engaged dormakaba to provide RST automatic space‑saver doors and ED 100 low energy swing doors to meet the hub’s reliability and user‑friendliness requirements.

dormakaba’s RST doors deliver minimal loss of clear passage width with fast, smooth and quiet operation, while the ED 100 exits provide precisely controlled speeds and forces to ensure safe, barrier‑free egress when carrying or riding bicycles—even in tough climatic conditions. The solution reinforced dormakaba’s proven performance record (its RST doors at Middleton Bus Station remained fully functional eight years after installation), providing reliable, user‑friendly access and enhanced safety for the high‑traffic Cycle Hub.
