DDA Works Compliance Automated Doors
Automated doors, both fully automatic and power assisted are becoming increasingly popular. Not only do they provide a solution to compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act but also make it easy for customers to enter and exit your premises; especially the elderly and mothers with small children. Studies have shown that retail units with automatic doors attract more footfall than their competitors who have manual doors.
DDA Works Compliance Doors
Regular service and maintenance is needed to ensure the safety, security and operative efficiency for all doors and access control products as well as helping you meet your legal compliances.
DDA Compliance - We help clients meet their legal obligations in line with Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) regulations to increase footfall and accessibility for all. Our automatic door solutions pay attention to disabled access, door widths, vision panels, door entry equipment position and height and door safety.
Automatic Doors & Operating Equipment - BS7036 ‘Safety at powered doors for pedestrian use’ states that powered doors should be maintained regularly at twelve month intervals. It’s the responsibility of the property occupier to ensure that all powered doors are compliant.
Servicing and repairs
Servicing is available on a contract basis, or on a one off basis. Whether you are an existing customer or not, G&T can repair your doors.
Disabled Access
All business entrances must now meet a miniumum set of requirements as set out by the government in the Disability Discrimination Act. G&T are experienced in this area, and understand perfectly what is required to make existing and new entrances meet the requirements.
More information is available on the DirectGov website.
Safety
All of the products we supply are guaranteed to comply with BS7036 safety standards. Why is this important? Having a safe entrance is good practice. Fingers and hands won´t be able to get caught or jammed, automatic doors will open at the correct speed when someone approaches, and at the correct distance. Small children are detected by automatic door sensors, and doors don´t close when there is an obstruction (for example a small child).
Businesses using entrances not complying to BS7036 can now be fined, and at worst can be taken to court if an injury occurs due to an unsafe entrance.
