Sonha Auto has completed the installation and handover of 03 sets of NABCO GT-1175 breakout sliding doors at Park 2 Vinhomes Times City, part of the Park Hill subdivision in Hanoi. The door system integrates NABCO NSW-A01 sensors and facial recognition technology, providing an entrance solution for the residential complex that supports pedestrian flow, access control, and passageway expansion when needed.

Park 2 Vinhomes Times City – An apartment tower at the entrance to the Park Hill subdivision
Located at the entrance to the Park Hill subdivision, opposite Tower T9 and adjacent to Park 1 and Park 3, Park 2 is one of the residential towers within Vinhomes Times City, Hanoi. The building comprises 27 floors and a total of 510 apartments, with commercial and service areas located in the podium. Residents benefit from Park Hill’s internal amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, central plaza, landscaped green spaces, and commercial facilities.
As a residential building with frequent pedestrian traffic, an appropriately designed automatic door system in the lobby areas helps accommodate daily movement and access security requirements.
Access control solutions for the two lobby areas at Park 2
At Park 2 Times City, Sonha Auto installed 03 sets of NABCO GT-1175 breakout sliding doors in the main lobby and inner lobby. Rather than using the same activation method throughout, the system was configured according to the specific usage requirements of each area:
- Main lobby: 01 set of doors integrated with NABCO NSW-A01 sensors to detect the direction of movement and help prevent activation when people merely walk past the sensor detection zone.
- Inner lobby: 02 sets of doors integrated with a facial recognition system to control entry and motion-detection sensors for exiting.
With this configuration, NABCO GT-1175 at Park 2 does more than provide automatic opening and closing. The system combines suitable access control devices for each location. The main lobby prioritizes convenient pedestrian movement, while the inner lobby requires identity verification before residents can access the apartment area.
This automatic door solution for a residential complex combines convenient pedestrian flow with access security requirements across different functional areas.
Breakout function – Expanding the passageway when needed
In addition to automatic opening and closing, a distinctive feature of the NABCO GT-1175 at Park 2 is its Breakout function. During normal operation, the door leaves slide open and close automatically in response to control signals. When a wider passageway is required, users can manually push the door leaves outward in the direction of escape.
This mechanism increases the clear opening width, providing a wider passageway for emergency evacuation or the transportation of bulky items. After use, the door leaves can be returned to their original operating positions so that the system can resume automatic sliding operation.
By combining automatic sliding operation with manual breakout opening, the GT-1175 is a suitable option to consider for residential entrance solutions where passageway expansion is required in addition to everyday access.
NABCO NSW-A01 sensors detect the direction of movement in the main lobby
In the main lobby, the GT-1175 sliding door system is equipped with NABCO NSW-A01 sensors. These devices help detect the direction of movement and distinguish people approaching the doors from those merely walking past the sensor detection zone.
This helps reduce unnecessary door activations caused by movement that is not directed toward the entrance, allowing the doors to open and close more appropriately in response to actual pedestrian traffic.

Facial recognition controls entry to the inner lobby
For the two door sets in the inner lobby, facial recognition technology is integrated to control entry to the residential area.
- Entry: Residents verify their identity using the facial recognition device. The doors open automatically once authentication is successful.
- Exit: Motion-detection sensors activate the doors, allowing users to pass through conveniently without additional identity verification.
Combining facial recognition with motion-detection sensors clearly distinguishes the access control methods for incoming and outgoing traffic. This supports access management while maintaining convenience for residents.
Safety standards relevant to NABCO automatic doors
For automatic door systems in residential buildings, operational safety is an important consideration, from equipment selection to system design and installation.
Some international standards and assessment frameworks relevant to the automatic door industry include:
- EN 16005: A European standard specifying safety requirements for power-operated pedestrian doors.
- JIS A 4722: A Japanese Industrial Standard addressing the safety of automatic doors.
- TÜV: An organization that conducts testing, assessment, and conformity certification of products and systems against applicable technical requirements.
These provide important references when evaluating equipment safety and quality. For each specific model and project, the relevant technical documentation and certificates should be reviewed to determine the scope of compliance.
Sonha Auto – Automatic door solutions tailored to each project
With more than 20 years of experience in the automatic door industry and a track record of over 10 projects across the Park Hill and Park T subdivisions of Vinhomes Times City, Sonha Auto has extensive practical experience installing automatic doors for residential complexes. Each building has its own layout and operational requirements. Therefore, the technical team conducts detailed site surveys to determine suitable installation locations, sensor positions, and system settings for each project.
Sonha Auto is committed to using genuine equipment supplied with complete documentation on origin and quality. From site surveys and installation to inspection and handover, the technical team oversees each stage to help ensure stable system operation and convenience for residents.
The installation of NABCO GT-1175 at Park 2 is another project that builds on this experience, with door configurations, sensors, and facial recognition equipment arranged to suit the specific characteristics of each lobby area.
