Safety Standards in Automatic Doors
With the widespread use of automatic doors, safety standards have come to the forefront. A modern automatic door not only provides convenience but is also equipped with a range of technologies to protect users from potential accidents.
Smart Sensor Technologies
Photocell and radar sensors, which cause the door to stop or reopen instantly when an obstacle is detected between the door leaves (e.g., a person or object), are the most basic safety measure. These sensors eliminate the risk of pinching.
Emergency Mechanisms
The 'break-out' or panic-opening feature, in particular, allows the door leaves to be pushed open outwards in case of a fire or emergency. This is critical for quick and safe evacuation in crowded areas.
