The
sliding door is the most widely used automatic door system. Boasting
the greatest user friendliness and safety features it lends itself to
volume traffic and simplicity of operation. Developed over years to
a sophisticated level of intelligent control the sliding door is now
available in many different styles and finishes.
Styles range from the traditional heavy duty extruded aluminium framed
doors to all glass doors, slim section doors, prismatic doors, breakout
doors, telescopic doors, acoustic doors, clean room doors etc all designed
to meet a functional purpose or aesthetic desire. Finishes include silver
and bronze anodising, polyester powder paint, stainless steel and brass
cladding and even timber to meet conservation codes.
Activation and safety features now include intelligent electronic sensing
devices to ensure a door responds as people approach and that they are
not put in jeopardy if they should be standing in the line of travel
of the door leaves on opening or closing. In line with the ADSA code
of practice on safety Kaba will recommend the use of threshold safety
and side screen safety where appropriate to meet the needs of BS 7036:1996.
In the modern world security needs increase daily and Kaba fits the
Kaba Quattro S special eurocylinder to all its door locks to give the
customer greater control over who has keys. A simple registration system
ensures that keys cannot be copied at the local key bar.
Sliding doors are the number one automatic doors and are used almost
everywhere in retail outlets, airports, hospitals, offices, factories,
public buildings, rail and bus stations, leisure centres, hotels, residential
homes, doctors surgeries etc wherever simple, efficient access is required.
