Swing doors date from time immemorial and have provided a very effective means of access and security. The process of automating swing doors was a natural development to facilitate the passage of people into and out of buildings in a busy modern world.
Automatic swing doors need to cover the requirements of the busy supermarket or rush hour station, through to the steady traffic in offices or the special requirement to provide access for disabled people under the Disabilities Discrimination Act. Each requirement is special and demanding and calls for different types of drive mechanism and safety features.
Kaba provides the full range of products to meet these requirements for new doors or retro-fitted to existing doors. Kaba also ensures that door users, particularly young children, are not vulnerable to dangerous and upsetting finger trapping situations.
Swing doors are efficient and effective as means of access but they do require careful consideration of safety features when automated. One way/two way traffic; wrong way traffic; side approach travel; finger trapping; wall trapping etc are all hazards or potential hazards that Kaba tries to overcome with suitable sensors or barriers.
A safe and effective automatic swing door is the aim of Kaba. |
