Opening doors requires re-thinking and new solutions

Hands-free door solutions to help keep people safe
Doors are one item we touch every day, keeping us safe and secure. As one of the most commonly touched surfaces in a building, particularly hardware like door handles, it pays to think about any measures that could be taken to stop germs from spreading, while also reducing touchpoints. This is particularly true in busy offices or public buildings, with lots of people passing through these spaces every day.Nevertheless, when it comes to choosing hands-free door opening solutions, you still need to make sure they meet fire, safety and security regulations. For instance, arm and foot pulls for doors are an easy and affordable option but you need to be careful when installing them, as these can often invalidate the fire integrity of a door if not fitted properly. Plus, they can be a potential trip hazard if they stick out from a door too far. It’s these kinds of considerations that need to be taken into account when selecting the right touch-free door hardware for a project.

We offer a complete range of products, which can either conveniently reduce the number of touch points throughout a building or provide a solution that makes touch points safer.
