It is not unusual to see automatic doors in locations including hospitals, schools, airports, offices, hotels, and health clubs to name but a few all across the British Isles. These days however, their popularity is growing and now even small corner village shops and take away food outlets are replacing their old manual heavy doors with aluminium framed automatic doors or indeed the frameless glass automatic doors which are sweeping the nation.
Therefore, medical centres and doctors surgeries and in fact a good many service providers these days are now already using automatic entrance systems in one form or another. More recently however, a number of play schools (nurseries/kindergartens) are following suit and with many a good reason.
Access and security are the main concerns for playschools and these days there are concerns not just with the security of children inside the play group but additionally unauthorized access. This is where automatic doors prove advantageous, not only do they enable easy and straight forward access for everyone but in addition they provide an extra tier of security at the premises.
When people think of access they generally consider automatic doors to be of a great advantage to the disabled and the elderly. This of course is true but there are many other groups of people who will benefit from the installation of automatic doors. Parents with push chairs and prams taking their offspring to nursery will not have to become frustrated, wrestling with the old traditional hinged doors. Parents with more than one child accompanying them and carrying several school bags and lunch boxes really need to have doors opening up automatically for them. Frustrations can run high at this busy time of day and it is therefore refreshing to know that automatic doors assist in the management of pedestrian traffic even at key times of the day.
All nurseries and play groups must deploy an extremely high level of security to ensure that little ones are not able to escape outside the premises, but of equal importance it is the responsibility of the play group to guarantee that no unauthorised access is permitted. Automatic doors are perfect for ensuring the well being and safety of the children and a classic operation of an automatic door entrance system used in nurseries are to combine a KP 911 digital key fob and card readers with automatic doors. By doing this, only the management, nursery nurses, parents and other authorized individuals are able to access the nursery premises.
Yet another safety factor associated with automatic doors is that they are manufactured from aluminium and toughened glass. The glass enables clear visibility and parents and employees can easily see outside activity. Any peculiar behaviour can be identified early on and individuals are able to react far quicker to an emergency situation in the unlikely event that one should arise.
The safety of the youngsters in the play schools care is of paramount importance and every avenue must be explored to ensure that there is a limited risk of accident and injury. With the old style manual doors children had a tendency to trap their fingers inside them or even hurt themselves as the heavy doors banged into them. The beauty of automatic doors is that they only open as an individual approaches them and they close directly afterwards so people can pass safely through them at all times.
Play groups, just like any other business are constantly battling against overheads and always trying to find ways to reduce them. Automatic doors assist in reducing operational costs as they cannot be left open unless put onto a manual operation for any reason, therefore the precious heat cannot escape outside into the street. Heat is expensive and just like the elderly members of our society; children must always be kept warm so there is no way of short cutting this cost to a business. Automatic doors maintain a constant temperature within the nursery and make it comfortable for the children and nursery staff alike.
