In 1997 a group of health and safety and procurement professionals from across Great Britain worked with the Association of London Government (ALG) to develop CHAS.

Case Study: Automatic Doors The Elms Care Home - Tetbury

How installing a Premis 120 single swing automatic doors operator can assist in reducing costs and also ensure that doors are working smoothly and safely.

Care Home Situation:

The proprietors of the Elms Care Home in Tetbury were in need of advice with replacing their existing manually operated doors in the entrance way into the care home. They wanted to provide the residents, visitors and employees with straightforward and comfortable access in and out of the care home whilst at the same time, improving the overall security of the premises. The manually operated doors proved to be rather heavy and cumbersome for the users. Many of the residents are in wheelchairs or using mobility aides or scooters and this caused issues whilst they tried to enter/exit the care home.

Automatic Doors - Care Home Solution:

In order to fulfil the requirements of the Elms Care Home and to conform to the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) ADSF UK LTD recommended a set of Premis 120 automatic swing door operators were installed. A Premis 120 with push pads and safety was the perfect automatic entrance solution. There was no need to replace the existing doors, as the Premis automatic door operators are ideal for any type of aluminium framed doors.

The new set of Premis 120 automatic door operators were part of an ADSF Premis automatic door operator package that included:

2 no Premis 120 automatic swing door operators

2 no Premis opening out arms

2 no push pads

4 no BEA monitored on door safety sensors

1 no sync cable

Premis S12 digital programmer.

Automatic Door signage.

The Premis automatic door operators are manufactured from a high quality and durable material, and it will be a very long time before they are in need of replacing.

Need New Doors? Automatic Ones Of Course!

It is certainly not unusual these days to see automatic doors in a variety of buildings throughout the United Kingdom. The first ones being installed around 40 years ago in swanky hotels, airports, and then supermarkets.

Other businesses and service providers quickly followed suit and the popularity of automatic doors has swept the nation. Office complexes, shopping malls, restaurants, retail outlets, coach stations, nursing/residential care homes and leisure centres are all feeling the benefits of having automatic doors installed.

Quite apart from the stunning appearance that these automatic doors deliver comes DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) compliance and fantastic customer service. Of course automatic doors are advantageous for the disabled and elderly population groups, but in addition they assist individuals that may be carrying several bags and personal items. Young families with pushchairs in tow and business people rushing into work will also find automatic doors a welcoming sight.

There are of course safety issues surrounding the old style manual doors, they are rather heavy and cumbersome and individuals have been known to trap their fingers inside and even have the doors bang or slam into them. Manual doors are not suitable for wheelchair users or people using mobility aides. Elderly people will struggle with the doors and only one person can pass through the doorway at a time.

Yet another benefit of installing automatic doors is that they help reduce overheads and heating costs are significantly reduced. The automatic doors only open up as an individual approaches and shut directly afterwards which means precious heat is retained within the building. During the rare summer months that we experience in this country expensive air conditioning units do not have to work hard as the automatic doors help to keep a constant temperature within the premises.

These days, there are several types of automatic doors available, the most popular being the automatic sliding doors and the automatic swing doors. The automatic doors are also available in frameless glass and this design is sweeping the nation by storm. The choice of automatic doors is of course entirely the customers, however, there are certain factors that will influence this decision and it is always recommended that expert advice is requested prior to purchase. ADSF UK LTD are automatic door and shop front specialists who have years of experience in this industry. Our dedicated sales and customer service teams will happily assist you and guide you through the replacement automatic door/shop front process.

New builds often incorporate automatic doors in their design as architects now fully understand the value and associated benefits of the installation of automated entrance systems. In many cases access control is required and ADSF UK LTD have several Premis automatic door packages that include different types of access control.

All of the automatic door and shopfront products that ADSF UK LTD supply and install can be seen on our customer friendly website or alternatively ADSF UK LTD can be contacted on 01275 871787.

Case Study: Automatic Doors: Abbotskerswell Veterinary Centre

Abbotskerswell Veterinary Centre in Devon is a purpose built practice offering a friendly, high quality service for both first opinion and referral cases. Staffed by experienced and highly qualified first opinion and specialist referral clinicians. This is a small animal surgery treating all pets.

Abbotskerswell Veterinary Centre: The Situation:

Just recently ADSF UK LTD received communication from Abbotskerswell Veterinary Centre in Devon for our assistance in a new entrance solution for their premises in Abbotskerswell.

Following a survey of the existing entranceway into the building by an estimator from ADSF UK LTD, we recommended that the existing doors could still be used and an automated system installed. By re-fitting existing automatic doors costs can be reduced and safety and security measures improved upon.

Abbotskerswell Veterinary Centre needed to have their existing automatic swing door openers replaced to ensure straightforward and comfortable access for everybody. Many of the animal owners who frequent the veterinary centre are elderly and along with providing easy access for the disabled and young children the safety of the clients and their beloved pets is paramount. The veterinary centre had automatic door openers in situation but these operators were out of date, very old and not working correctly. After many years of heavy use, it was obvious that the sensors were faulty and unable to detect objects or people that were in the path of the sensors. Since the installation of the existing automatic door operators many moons ago there are numerous modern and advanced models of operators available.

Abbotskerswell Veterinary Centre: The Solution:

As an answer to the veterinary centres issues with their old automatic door operators ADSF UK LTD installed a new set of Premis 120 automatic swing door operators that are part of a package. There was no need to replace the existing doors, as the Premis range of automatic door openers are ideal for any type of automatic doors.

The new set of automatic door operators used for Abbotskerswell came with the following:

Pull arms that are designed for inward opening doors.

Key switches that has three settings: "off" to turn off the automatic function, "hold" to keep the doors open, and "auto" to turn on the automatic mode.

Access control - this only allows entry to individuals who are provided with the correct access cards.

Push pads which will provide a push to open function, which is ideal for use during opening hours so that clients and their pets can easily enter the veterinary centre.

Activation sensors that automatically open the door when someone intends to exit.

On-Door safety sensors which detect if there are people or objects around the back of the door and will hinder it from opening.

In spite of the large number of clients that use the veterinary centre on a daily basis, there has been no congestion in the entranceway. These automatic door openers are high quality and manufactured from a highly durable material, therefore, it will be a very long time before they need replacing.

Case Study: Automatic Doors: Cycle Hub - Leeds

Secure cycle hubs and cycle compounds provide a high security, durable and attractive solution for cycle parking. Cycle hubs and cycle compounds provide a secure cycle facility where users can leave their cycles in confidence. Cycle hubs and compounds can be bespoke designed and constructed from high density mesh or toughened glass. Cycle hubs and compounds provide an area where multiple cycles can be parked within a dry and secure space. They are ideal for universities, cities, train stations and more where a large number of cycles need to be parked.

Cycle Hub: Automatic Door Situation:

Recently, a busy cycling hub in Leeds approached ADSF UK LTD to request assistance in finding the right automatic door solution for the premises. The automatic doors for the cycle hub needed to be robust and with an access control panel to keep the hub secure. Access is for members of the cycle hub only in order to prevent bike theft.

Cycle Hub: Automatic Door Solution:

To meet the needs of the client in totality, ADSF UK LTD installed robust commercial aluminium doors with quality Premis 120 Automatic Swing door operators.

The entry point of the cycle hub that controlled the automatic doors was fitted with an access control panel that solely allowed members of the cycle club inside by means of swiping their entry card.

Cycle Hub: Automatic Door Outcome:

The Cycle Hubs automatic doors were indeed robust and could easily take the daily knocks and scrapes from bikes entering and exiting the hub. The reinforced glass meant that in the event of a cyclist cycling into the hub at considerable speed the automatic doors in the hub would not break. Apart from the automatic doors being robust, they were also very safe and minimized the chances of injury. The automatic door operators were in addition highly durable to ensure they could cope with the demands of continuous opening and closing. The sensors were set on a mode that would be sensitive enough to know when a bike had passed safely through the entrance or had exited the hub. This again protected both cyclists and the doors from any damage.

The access panel that required a swipe card ensured that the cyclist's bikes were kept safely undercover, without bike thieves being able to enter the hub. The hub also featured CCTV cameras so that anyone who forced their way in behind a cyclist would be immediately picked up on camera.

The solution fitted all the criteria that the Cycle Hub required and the automatic doors made it quick, easy, convenient and above all safe for cyclists to enter and exit the Cycle Hub.

Automatic Door System: Additional Benefits

The automatic door solution installed by ADSF UK LTD has helped the city of Leeds reduce the numbers of bike crime and has encouraged far more individuals to join the Cycle hub scheme. This of course will help the client to recoup its initial investment far more quickly.

The reduction of bike crime makes cycling a far more popular option and of course helps to reduce congestion in the city of Leeds.
