The Dura-Glide®
DT™ reimagines the number one selling automatic sliding
door to accelerate the customer experience and boost efficiency at
QSRs.
FARMINGTON, Conn., May 23, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- STANLEY Access Technologies, part of the Allegion
family of brands and leading provider of automatic door solutions
and service, today announced the launch of Dura-Glide® DT™, an
automatic drive-thru window and door hybrid designed to help fast
food and QSR brands face their greatest challenges at the
drive-thru. Developed alongside global QSR leaders, the
Dura-Glide® DT™ provides flexibility to operate in window
or door mode, so that staff can easily service drive-thru customers
as well as parked patrons and third-party delivery services.
"The pandemic revved up drive-thru innovations, and these trends
are here to stay. Dura-Glide® DT™ is our solution for the
changing face of the QSR industry," said Greg Erickson, National Account Manager at
STANLEY Access Technologies. "Increased traffic, online ordering
and demand for delivery have compelled QSRs to adapt their
drive-thru operations, often through ad hoc measures that are not
sustainable. In the long term, QSR industry growth and expansion
plans are starting to envision a future with fewer dine-in options
and more efficient to-go offerings which require new
infrastructure."
Dura-Glide® DT™ allows restaurant staff to easily switch
between automatic door and window mode without delay or
interruption to customer service. Staff can opt for automatic door
mode during times of heightened traffic, when dedicated waiting
spots are filled up and the drive-thru queue is getting longer.
During lull periods, staff can effortlessly swap back to the
window, a wide, automatic opening that removes any barriers in the
drive-thru exchange.
The technology was built upon the Dura-Glide 2000/3000, the
number one selling state-of-the-art automatic sliding door, with
over 30 years of proven performance. Based on the input of QSR
leaders, Dura-Glide® DT™ was designed to improve throughput
with quicker exchanges and reduced wait times.
Key features of this new technology include:
- Hands-free automation: Hands-free activation allows
drive-thru staff to effortlessly serve customers, even when their
hands are full
- Sturdy seals: Stainless steel and vinyl seals eliminate
gaps for food debris and prevent pests from entering
- Reliable security: Solenoid locks secure panels to
prevent unauthorized entry
- Sleek durability: A clean aesthetic with robust
construction to withstand demands of QSR environments
"With a substantial part of any QSR's revenue coming from the
drive-thru, Dura-Glide® DT™ provides QSR brands a dynamic yet
easy-to-use hybrid solution to meet customers' needs while boosting
profits," said Brian Ha, Product
Manager at STANLEY Access Technologies. "The window and door sizes
can both be customized depending on the location for optimal
functionality. This flexibility minimizes friction for QSRs and
their customers, encouraging speed of service and accuracy in an
industry where every second makes a difference."
Dura-Glide® DT™ is backed by warranty and world-class install
service support, with a national network of highly trained,
AAADM-certified technicians. For more information and interest,
