Door Automation

Why would it be advantageous to install automatic doors?

Due to their automated nature there is no effort required on the part of the customer or visitor to the business premises and although they might not realise it, this plays an enormous part in customer happiness.

It is now a legal requirement for businesses to offer ways to access their premises for the disabled. An automatic door can solve this issue easily.

It will also allow continuous flow of traffic and avoid queues forming whilst people hold open manual doors for others.

An automatic door may also be more energy efficient because they will shut automatically when a visitor enters the building which will help keep the heat in the building making sure the business uses less energy.

We offer a comprehensive range of sliding or swing door automation equipment for both domestic and commercial customers. Models are available for different usage, from light domestic to heavy - duty operations including shops, airports, hospitals and large offices.

Safety for Automatic Doors

During the Opening Cycle

Persons or traffic can be struck, trapped or walk into the door.

During the Closing Cycle

Persons or traffic can be struck, trapped or walk into the door.

Tripping Hazard

To minimise the risk of tripping or obstruction, all floor mounted items, e.g. control mats or ramped threshold plates should be tapered or flush with the floor surface. Flooring should where practicable, incorporate anti- slip or water clearing capabilities.

Congestion

To reduce the risk of congestion in the vicinity of a powered door, the installation and its immediate area should be designed and arranges to promote safe pedestrian traffic flow.

Signage

Appropriate signs should be affixed to the powered door system at a height of between 1300mm and 1600mm on completion of the installation.
