Challenge

The new “Veilchenweg” daycare in Albstadt, Baden-Württemberg is the city’s largest facility with 160 children from ages one to seven and 25 teachers. With the new construction of the daycare, an essential requirement was that no child can leave the daycare unsupervised and that no unauthorised persons can enter the facility. However, children and teachers must be able to leave the building quickly and safely in case of danger

Solution

The city chose a security solution from ASSA ABLOY that was specially developed for nursery schools and can be expanded, combined and retrofitted according to individual requirements. A combination was offered with the easy-to-manage SCALA net access control system, which offers the full functional scope of an access control solution, such as timer switches, zone monitoring and lift controls. It also provides a complete overview of entry exit and door statuses.

The MEDIATOR system provides additional protection at the external doors. MEDIATOR is a self-locking panic lock. When the door closes, it is automatically locked. Additional manual locking is not necessary. With the integrated panic function, the door can be opened from inside without a key or transponder. The entrance doors are also secured with an escape-door locking system. The door can be opened from inside by two push-buttons. One button is positioned at a height of 1.80 metres, so it can only be reached by adults. It can be used to open the door at any time in order to let people in or out of the daycare. A second button is positioned at a height of approximately one metre. This makes it possible for children to open the door themselves in case of an emergency. This button is integrated in an escape route terminal. If it is pressed, the door opens and an alarm sounds. This concept prevents the children from leaving unnoticed.

The integrated DC 700 door closers provide additional comfort and suitability for children. It ensures that the internal doors close reliably and securely on their own. The door closers work with Cam-Motion® technology, with which even heavy doors can be opened with minimal effort. This ensures that small children can also open any door within the daycare themselves.
