When the Torsby Fire Department’s doors began to show signs of wear after decades of loyal service, they reached out to Torverk to explore options for giving the building’s façade a fresh new look.
After discussions between the municipality’s procurement officer and Torverk’s sales representative, Lars-Inge Carlsson, the options became clear: replace the doors with new ones from Torverk, renovate the existing doors, or purchase new doors from another supplier.
Decision to Renovate
The fire department decided to renovate the existing doors. After more than 30 years in service, the doors needed a fresh coat of paint and new seals. The mechanical components, designed to withstand at least 2.6 million openings, could remain in place thanks to consistent maintenance according to Torverk’s service program.
Repainted and Resealed
Following instructions from Torverk’s design department, the repainting work began. Torverk’s own installers replaced the seals. The end result exceeded expectations.
The doors were originally installed in April 1985. The fact that they still perform so well is a testament to the long-lasting quality of Torverk doors.
Johan Westh, Deputy Fire Chief of Torsby Municipality, is very pleased with the outcome.
