In a significant development for student housing in Hong Kong, City University is partnering with Opening Solutions Hong Kong to equip its upcoming Student Hostels with cutting-edge ironmongery hardware and automatic swing door systems.

Fast-growing City University prioritizes exceptional students living in their new Whitehead hostels, accommodating over 2,000 undergrads and postgrads across six halls dedicated to diverse fields. Opening Solutions Hong Kong is honored to contribute to this project's safety, security, and accessibility.


The Hong Kong team provides a comprehensive range of ironmongery hardware, including high-security and aesthetically pleasing door handles, hinges, and locks. These solutions are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of student housing, offering both functionality and durability. Furthermore, incorporating automatic swing door systems will enhance the overall flow and accessibility of the residential buildings, creating a more seamless and inclusive environment for all students.

"Due to our understanding of the education sector, we can tailor access control solutions for universities that feature high-efficiency cam action closers that allow for barrier-free access," says Irene Yip, Director & General Manager, Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan. "We believe our hardware and technology will contribute to a safe and welcoming living environment for City University students. This collaboration highlights our commitment to educational institutions. We look forward to partnering with more universities to create secure and accessible learning environments globally."


“Given the Hong Kong government’s strong focus on the Modular Integrated Construction (MIC) project, both the end-user and the architect were exceptionally meticulous about material selection. This led to stringent specification requirements and a demanding delivery schedule. Thanks to collaboration with various factories, the project ultimately received the award,” said Jacqueline Wong, Project Sales & Architectural Specialist Manager.
