What Benefits Does An Automatic Door ID System Offer Businesses?

By Anthony Graham


Commercial door closers are found on almost every commercial building in North America. Often they are a requisite of local building codes. They are installed not just as a matter of convenience. Their main purpose, especially with exterior and utility doors, is to prevent the spread of flames and smoke during a fire emergency. A secondary benefit is to maintain building heating or cooling efficiency and indoor air quality. On interior doors, an automatic door ID helps contain noise and maintain temperature zones.

Regular Servicing -Think of your new entrance more like a car, we service our cars; so why not our entrances? With servicing this will show up any unexpected faults before they occur. For instance we would not want the entrance to be stuck locked on the day of a sale in a superstore would you?

Renewing part of the system -Age of the entrance also comes into consideration. Changing the all the mechanics and electronics part of the automatic equipment is called retro fitting. This is a good way recycling equipment that is working and replacing the equipment that is not, but if the remaining equipment left is not up to scratch this beats the whole process. Experienced engineers fitting your entrances-This is a must, that you have experienced engineers fitting your entrances, as this will also prevent any future problems with your entrance system.

The number of entrances you need to outfit. If your business has several public entrances, or one major entrance with several entranceways, then cost will play a major factor in your decision. Involuntary are more expensive than manual. Outfitting every single entrance with an involuntary model could test your budget. Instead, you may choose to install them on only one or two of your entrances and choose manual entrance closers for the rest to maximize your budget. However, if you have only one entrance for public use, an involuntary is probably your best choice.

Self maintenance -When having an automatic entrance installed there are basic checks you should do regularly to ensure you get the most out of your entrance. By checking the sensors and the entrances are functioning correctly this will prevent future problems or hazards. For healthy and safety reasons you should make sure the correct signage is still in tacked on the entrance.

The final industrial benefit of an involuntary entrance system is increased worker productivity. Almost every company that has performed a time and motion study over the past decade has discovered that the amount of time employees spend manually opening and closing entrances during a normal workday is surprisingly high. In some instances the installation of an involuntary entrance has increased worker productivity by more than one hour per day.

Interior mobility. You may need to install automatic entrance closers on one or more interior entrances as well. Again, it depends on your clientele, staff and how your building is used and navigated at different times and in different situations.

Quality of the internal components-When the supplier is ordering the components you should ask questions about the quality of the products and the warranty. You should also take into consideration the cost of replacement components for future reference as it can with some manufacturers cost more to maintain the door than the initial install. Ask first and you won't be stung later. In conclusion the main priorities are that you need to ensure the whole running and overall condition of the door is 100% otherwise this will cause your automatic door not to last long.
