Comelit-PAC’s GDX Next has been specified by Magnus Electrical to bring a new door entry system with access control to 20 Moore Street in Glasgow, without requiring the building’s existing cabling to be replaced.

Serving 22 flats across the development, the new system has been installed across two main entrance doors, replacing the existing digital audio door entry system. For Magnus Electrical, the ability to work with the existing cabling was a key factor in selecting GDX Next.

Magnus Electrical has worked with GDX on several projects and was already familiar with the platform. Following discussions with Comelit-PAC, the company selected GDX Next for the Moore Street installation, combining their experience with the requirements of the refurbishment.

Tom Chalmers, Contracts Manager at Magnus Electrical said: “For a refurbishment like this, keeping the installation process as seamless as possible allows residents to get on with their day-to-day lives. The aim was to keep the turnaround and disruption to a minimum while giving upgrading the door entry solution, and GDX Next, alongside with the technical and design excellence of Comelit-PAC allowed us to achieve this.”

GDX Next combines Comelit door entry technology with PAC access control hardware, supporting audio and video door entry alongside integrated access management. Its common hardware and cabling structure across handset options is intended to simplify installation and future upgrades, while systems can be managed through standalone, PC-based or cloud-based configurations.

The platform offers different approaches to access management, including multi-technology readers and a range of handset options, allowing systems to be configured around the requirements of individual residential buildings and their residents.

Since completion, Magnus Electrical has quoted for further blocks at the development, with further orders expected during the year.
