Abloy automatic door operators provide easy access to disabled visitors

Wednesday, January 2, 2008

As part of a recent refurbishment project to the George House in York, United Kingdom, automatic door operators were fitted to the main external door and to the offices, meeting room and kitchen doors, in order to give disabled visitors easy entry into and passage through the building. George House is an office and meeting center frequently used by disabled children and young people. Vador Security Systems installed the system and had previously installed an Abloy Master Key system, covering the front door, manager’s office and two other offices at George House. Abloy DA400 external door operator is linked to a video and intercom door entry system for added security at the entrance door. To activate each of the six Abloy DA361 door operators installed on the major internal doors, Vador fitted Abloy electric switches on either side of the doors.
