The new door was developed in response to customers asking for a revolving door that offers comfort, intuitive operation and safety, where an automatic revolving door was either too large or exceeded budget. Boonassist TQ is also designed to serve a wider variety of applications owing to its increased available sizes, up to 10’ diameter and 10’ ceiling height, which provide a roomy compartment and increased user comfort. 

The BoonAssist TQ includes features such as Power Assistance.  When a user pushes on a door wing, a low energy motor activates and, borrowing the kinetic energy from the user’s initial push, rotates the door to minimize further needed effort. There is also a Speed Control feature, which engages a braking mechanism when a door wing is pushed with excessive force to ensure rotation speed remains within industry standards for safe passage.

After a user exits the door, it continues to rotate until it reaches the “home position,” which is with its door wings pointed at each side of the throat opening, this is termed as Positioning and is designed to make it easier for the next user and also to reduce air infiltration as much as possible.

Boonassist TQ is available in two styles to complement most types of building facades and branding requirements.  The Boonassist TQM is of a metal-framed construction with metal canopy, and is available in a variety of metal finishes, cladding or custom painted colours.  The Boonassist Crystal on the other hand is an all glass construction with stainless steel fastening components that can be finished in other metals or custom painted colours.

“The potential is unlimited in terms of the types of buildings and vertical markets that can benefit from this door,” said Greg Schreiber, Boon Edam Vice President of Sales. “The power assist feature allows it to be bigger, up to 10 feet in diameter. This means office buildings, smaller hotel chains, specialty retail stores, restaurants and even the larger convenience stores can offer greater passage comfort and use every single square foot of their valuable space because this door keeps the outside draughts out. They are also providing their customers and employees with the easiest, safest manual revolving door available. We’re calling Boonassist TQ ‘the new standard’ because we believe soon everyone will expect these features—they’re not going to settle for less.”
