New Orbis Pocket Doorset Range Launched

The new Orbis Pocket Doorset Range from Laidlaw Solutions is a heavy duty sliding system in which the door is hidden neatly in a wall cavity. It has been designed for use in hospitals, care homes, schools and areas of similarly intensive use, in walls of 100mm, 125mm or 150mm thickness.

The 'Roomsaver' design combines optimum stability with maximum free passage, making it ideal for situations which require a wider opening or where space is limited. Doors are available in a choice of factory painted finish, high quality durable laminate or veneer, faced both sides and solid lipped all round. In addition to the standard white RAL9010, an extended range of RAL colours is available, while laminates from the Formica PSM Door Collection Range can be supplied in plain colours or wood grain effect. Ash, Beech, American White Oak and Maple veneers are crown cut and book matched to provide an attractive, carefully balanced pattern across the width of the door.

Orbis Pocket Doorset frames provide a clear opening width from 590mm - 1090mm in a single leaf, to accommodate door widths up to 1230mm. Made from 1.5mm steel with a highly resilient white, powder-coated finish, they are supplied with a double recess and reinforcement. The door mechanism requires no floor guides, while built-in brush seals and end buffers provide a perfectly smooth, stable action. The split-head frame construction allows a ceiling mounted hoist system to pass cleanly through the doorway without interrupting the door action.

Doors can be supplied with centrally positioned vision panels and factory-prepared mortice nightlatch, mortice bathroom lock or no lock at all. Doorsets with a lock have a stainless steel strike plate installed in the frame and lock forend in satin stainless steel. Traditional Orbis ironmongery, including lever and pull handles, bathroom lever turns and emergency release indicators can also be specified.
