The Situation:
The practitioners of Groby Road Medical Centre in Leicester recently contacted ADSF UK LTD to assist them with replacing their shop front entrance. The existing entranceway/exit into the medical centre was in need of repair again and had certainly seen better days. To address the external appearance of the medical centre an automated access system was recommended which would not only create a stylish and modern entrance but in addition deliver easy and straightforward access.
The old door could also cause safety issues as the hinges were often loose causing the heavy manually operated door to bang into patients. Yet another concern was access issues for the elderly and disabled population groups. Parents with pushchairs and wheelchairs also struggled to open up the door.
Automatic Doors Solution:
As an answer to the issues raised by the Medical Centres Practitioners with their current door, ADSF UK LTD installed 1 no single ADSF – Premis face mounted automatic swing door operator. There was no need to replace the existing door, as the Premis automatic door operators are ideal for any type of aluminium doors.
The ADSF - Premis 120 automatic door operator was installed by our fully trained and qualified door engineers who in addition fitted 1 no Premis Push Arm, 1 no ADSF -3 position toggle switch, 2 no ADSF -Push pads and 2 no ADSF – BEA on door safety sensors.
This new system fully engaged the medical centre with up to date DDA legislation. The DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) demands that easy and straightforward access is available for everyone who wishes to enter a public building. Groby Road Medical Centre has many elderly and a small % of disabled patients and the automatic doors allowed them to maintain their independence as no assistance is now needed.
Automatic Doors Outcome:
Our door engineers fully tested all the equipment that they had carefully installed and ensured the automatic door operator was working correctly and above all safely. All the patients, visitors and staff of Groby Road Medical Centre were delighted with the new entrance system.
In spite of the large number of patients that visit the medical centre on a daily basis, there has been no congestion in the entrance/exit ways. Parents pushing their children in pushchairs were able to manoeuvre through the entrance way/exits with ease. The openers are manufactured from high quality and durable materials and should last a very long time indeed.
The toggle switch is very useful too, especially when the medical centre has deliveries and collections and there is a need to keep the doors open. The deliveries and collections can be made without the need of assistance from the employees allowing them to continue their busy days.
