Automatic Doors -
Guide to Buying Automatic Doors
Like buying
anything in life, there are 100's of isothiozolinoneschoices of supplier and product. Just like
buying a TV or washing machine, certain products have more features or are
built for longer life.Now the phrase "You get what you pay for" is
not always true, but it should be a clear indicator if you have received two
quotations which seem to be miles apart in price.TheHFC 227ea most common misconception is that a door is
a door. Having worked in the automatic door Industry for over 10 years I can
tell you this is not true. The most common cost cutting procedure I see from
companies is not fitting certain items.For example, the installer may not quote
/ fit Side screen safety sensors, leave off signage or not fit an expensive
barrier.Now this may seem good at dofus goldfirst as the price can come down by £100's. The problem
lies in that you may be left liable in the event of an accident.The Automatic
door industry only really has one safety Indicator to measure the standard
against. This is the British Standard 7036: 1996. This British standard sets
out the correct equipment and setup that your achat dofus kamasdoor should be in order to comply.Now this
standard is not Law, but as per the Machinery directive it is the owner's
responsibility to make sure that it is of correct standard and kept fully
maintained. Rest assured if there was an accident any judge in the county would
use this standard as a base to assess if yourvente kamas door system makes the grade.The Automatic
door association runs regular testing programs for automatic door engineers in
the UK, where they test the knowledge of the Engineer to confirm he understands
the standard the door should be installed to. Each engineer that passes is
supplied with a unique ADSA Number to confirm their competence.Please ask you
Installation Company for their Engineers ADSA numbers to assure yourcheap kamas door are being installed to the correct
model and confirm them with the Association.The other thing to look out for is
the Quality of the equipment being installed. Fitting a door should be a once
in a lifetime job. Although all Companies should offer you a min 12 Month
warranty, the Major components in a door should have a life of 2-6 Years. This
will depend greatly on the automatic doortraffic flow / frequency of door use.
Consumables need changing at various times dependant on the manufacturer's
specification.Please be aware, fitting a cheaper system may seem appealing in
the short term but £1000's of pounds worth of repair bills every year is
not!The other Key areas your door should be aligned with are the cheap dofus kamasDisability discrimination act and Part M of
the Building Regulations. To go through each standard in full here would take
pages upon pages so please consult the relevant bodies for full details, an experienced
architect or ask your Installation Company for full details. Please see
References at the bottom of this article for information.I can't write about
everything you need to know when buying an automatic door, but here are cheap dofussome Key questions to ask when getting a
quotation to steer you in the right direction.Is the threshold height low
enough to comply with Part M? Sliding doors. Does the quote include one of the
following safety features to protect the area where the doors slide over: Side
screen safety Sensors Barriers Pocket Screens, Swing Automatic doors. Do the doors Swing
into an open space where you can approach the open leaf from the side? If so
have you allowed forRoll forming machine Barriers? Have you quoted for Door Mounted
safety sensors? Does the Quotation include for Finger Protection devices that
stop people jamming their fingers in between the back edge of the door and the
frame when the door closes?Please think carefully about these points before
accepting a quotation for a new door system. An automatic door can be an
investment welcoming your customers / staff but it can often add up to the same
price as a small family car.I hope this article has been of some help.GT
