Types Of Automatic Door And How To Choose One By Cherdkiat Taesookavat At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Long time ago, the technological breakthrough of automatic door and access control were completely different system. Home owners were able to apply single system or either to the door in order to increase convenience and safety. However, in practical terms, when we talk about automatic door, many people usually also thought about access control, so it is very obvious that these two systems definitely related to each other and with modern technology today, we can combine these two systems to the door to reach maximum potential of safety and comfort.

For example, in many building premises where public access is needed such as commercial building and shopping department store now tend to have automatic door to accommodate their customers to easily access to their premises. Apart form that reason, most of commercial department stores will gain benefits in terms of helping them to get more visitors/customers as well as energy saving. Especially for energy saving, there are some types of automatic door that has temperature control so customers will experience pleasure atmosphere and this is also a good way that automatic door can provide excellent pay-back result.

However, the innovation of automatic door does not stop providing benefits only to commercial building such as department store. They also have some models that fit to home use to provide comfort and safety to people who need extra assistance such as disabled people. But there are some selection criteria of which kind of automatic door that you will use must be taken into account, because disabled people may have different kind of disability. One type of automatic door that fit to one disabled person may not accommodate other who has different disability and you must not forget that the automatic door will be used by normal person too.

Disabled people will experience difficulty by accessing the house or premises by using manual door. Even though you have provide an automatic door for disabled people but if you bought the door system by lacking of enough information to consider, the door may have poor in terms of design access control system or even the door may be too heavy and improper sensor adjustment. Other mistake that may happen when choosing automatic door is sometimes they are set in wrong position so the door could not detect children and pets, this probably affect to disabled people who use wheelchair who could not be detected as the height of the wheelchair is similar to a child.

Apart from that, you may have to consider about the type and cost of installation. Sometimes you do not have to buy fully automatic door to equip for home use, instead, you may choose to replace manual door with low-energy (sometimes called semi-automatic door) for disabled people to open the door without physical effort so they can gain access to the premises easier and this also help you to have maximum use within limited budget.

Apart from the growing of awareness of the need to develop facilities to accommodate disabled people to access the building. In some countries such as The Disability Discrimination Act in the UK, there are law and restrictions for the owner that they must provide special facilities for disables to correspond to the demand for improved standards of access to public buildings.
