Automatic Doors

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires those responsible for buildings to make some provision for disabled access into the building. To meet this requirement, Ansador Ltd offers a full range of operators for automatic doors and can be fitted onto new or existing doors.

The LCN automatic door range offers a more unique feature of being operated through compressed air and can be adjusted when opening and closing. This means that a door that would normally be too heavy for somebody to operate can be made to feel very light to the touch as compressed air would assist the unit when opening.

The range of GEZE automatic doors offer various sizes to suit almost any application. Care needs to be taken when specifying the usage of the door and the direction of opening etc. These units can be linked to an access control system such as a card reader, keypad, or intercom so when the visitor arrives the door will not only unlock but automatically open and re-close.

	Alternatively the unit can be set to fully automatic and will open and close the door on whatever basis is required. The units can also be set to open on impulse from a fire alarm activation and stay open if necessary to assist in ventilation and evacuation procedures.
The systems need to be set up in accordance with BS7036 to ensure they are correctly specified for the purpose and are fitted with the appropriate safety circuits. These can include presence detectors, hinge guards to stop fingers getting caught, ,and a variety of other safeguards.
