DescriptionThe Samson Adone is an industrial and commercial specification double skinned, steel, insulated, folding door system. Used mainly for an external door it can be manufactured to suit various openings every time, with either a single or double parting leaf arrangement.
This is an 8 leaf door model available between 6500mm and 11500mm wide and up to 6000mm in height using 8 panels which is offered as a bi fold 4+4 panel split.
The standard double skinned steel panel is 52mm in depth and can be manufactured up to 11.5m wide and 6m high in this specification. Larger door sizes are possible as we also have the Apollo folding door system for much larger opening sizes. The panel thickness will change on much larger sizes to offer the performance and strength required.
An insulated steel folding door offers so many benefits over many other industrial door systems in its simplicity and ease of operation. Many of the doors we supply are manually operated simply because they are generally used for external openings where the opening and closing cycles are low. A folding door system will enable a user to open one leaf for pedestrian access, or partially open a little further when required, never having to open the door fully, exposing all the internals and letting heat out or cold in.
Pedestrian Door Option
It is possible, depending on the leaf arrangement, to always have one door panel used as a full height pedestrian access door. This is very useful for so many companies and operations where regular access is required on foot.
You can also have a pedestrian door built into a full size door panel either as a full width panel cut at a normal pedestrian door height, or as a pedestrian door completely cut into a full panel. Either option provides a simple and easy operated door into and out of the building without the need to even touch the main door..
The pedestrian door can also have internal panic furniture so it can be part of the emergency fire exit strategy for any building.
Manual or Electric
Most folding doors will be manually operated as they are so easy to manouevre anyway and with the multiple options on the panel arrangements you can make it easy for partial opening to be the main daily action and leave most of the door closed for the majority of the time.
The smooth sliding action of the top hanging roller system guarantees an effortless operation once the locking has been released. Small to medium sized doors will be top hung with no bottom tracking required at all for the easiest of movement.
Electric operation is possible on any size door with single or bi parting leaf arrangements and the chain driven system is simple and reliable as there is minimal stress on the electric motor drive. Single and three phase motor options are offered depending on the potential number of operations per day and how large the doors are.
Access control is generally best as a ‘hold to run’ deadman control as a folding door has multiple entrapment points, although these are compliant with the gap sizing and rubber seals used to prevent any injury to fingers. Safety systems can be specified where necessary if the door is near a public area or impulse or remote control is required.

Windows
Various double glazed window options can be built into the panels in almost any position to suit.
Round, square and rectangular windows can be offered, but also a fully glazed door option is available (Adone Vision)with minimal framing for maximum light and vision.
We can also build in venting grilles and other useful panel inserts to suit the application.
Fixed panels which never open can be incorporated into the overall door system when it is simply about creating a door and infill to match, all of which are insulated.
SpecificationThe specification for these insulated steel folding doors can change significantly depending on your specific requirements and preferences on hardware. The basic prices as shown here are based on internal locking bars and handles for the standard manual specification.
More or less locking positions and hinging can be specified to change which door leaves open first and there are other locking methods as well as various handles to suit external access.
You can also install your own hardware if required, please contact us for confirmation and suitability.
