Automatic Doors - Are you DDA compliant?

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires those responsible for buildings to make some provision for disabled access into the building. To meet this requirement, Ansador Ltd offers a full range of operators for automatic doors which can be fitted onto new or existing doors.
The LCN automatic door range offers a rather unique feature of being operated by compressed air and can be adjusted during opening and closing. This means that a door that would normally be too heavy for somebody to operate can be made to feel very light to the touch as compressed air would assist the unit when opening.
The range of GEZE automatic doors offer various sizes to suit almost any application. Care needs to be taken when specifying the usage of the door and the direction of opening etc. These units can be linked to an access control system such as a card reader, keypad, or intercom so when the visitor arrives the door will not only unlock but automatically open and re-close.

	Alternatively the unit can be set to fully automatic so will open and close the door on whatever basis is required. The units can also be set to open on impulse from a fire alarm activation and stay open if necessary to assist in ventilation and evacuation procedures.
The systems need to be set up in accordance with BS7036 to ensure they are correctly specified for the purpose and are fitted with the appropriate safety circuits. These can include hinge guards to stop fingers getting caught, presence detectors, and a variety of other safeguards.

Turnstile Access Control Controlling access into any building where the area is unguarded  can be difficult. Even with access control on a door it is possible  for somebody to ‘Tailgate’ so undermining the security systems.

	It is possible to impose  greater securtiy and control  by installing turnstile  access control at the  main entry points into a  building. These can take  the form of mid height,  full height or even monitored  versions for monitoring  anti-pass-back routines.  Ansador prides itself in  having installed many  such systems in London and the home counties  over the last few years.
Controlling access into the main or rear entrance of a building is  key to providing a secure environment. Choosing the correct and most appropriate turnstile can be  difficult. Ansador will provide you with advice to ensure  the correct choice of turnstile. Here are a few questions  and pointers to choosing the best and most effective type of  turnstile.  How many people use the building? As a rough guide you  can assume one lane will handle about 150 to 200 people  assuming they are set up to be bi-directional.   You can choose from tripod style, drop arm type,  swing gate, pass agate in both stainless steel, glass or even mid  steel.   What sort of environment is It.? If it’s a construction site  then we suggest the more functional trip type in a powdered  coated finish.       Would you like the turnstiles to fail to an open position on  a fire alarm activation?   How do you want the them to operate? Usually by card,  or even finger print recognition. http://www.ansador.co.uk/ card_access_door_systems.asp?category=Card%20Access& subcategory=Door%20Systems   Would you like to be alerted if somebody tries to tailgate  through the turnstile?  Some of the systems offer this feature and can provide an impulse  to an local alarm, CCTV camera or pager perhaps.   Would you like reception to be able override the system with a  remote push button? Our technical surveyors will provide advice on the most  appropriate type of model to choose from for your particular  application. Call 0207 228 7777 for a site survey  and no cost estimate.

Door and Video Intercom Systems

Door Intercom systems are now considered by many as an  essential part for any development of offices or flats in the  U.K. Having an open door policy for all is often thought to  invite the wrong type of attention to a building. Audio systems  can consist of an intercom panel at the front door which is  connected to a door phone in the office o flat upstairs with  an electric lock. The panels can be provided from the Aiphone  or LT ranges and are available in SAA, polished brass and  a wide range of colours. Lkewise, the door phones are  available in different colours and can be table or wall mounted.  Our technical representatives will often work closely with the local crime prevention officer to ensure the design of the system is not only offering security but also an effective deterrent. A Video Intercom System will allow the owner not only  to see the visitor but also talk to them. The LT Terraneo  and Aiphone ranges offer the very latest in design and features.  The high quality screens offer a clear image of the visitor  standing outside with the assistance of miniature infra-red  lighting around the built in camera at the front door. The  outside intercom panels are available in many colours and  can be flush mounted. The new telephone linked systems  offer the unique feature of allowing your visitor to contact  you from the front door via your standard BT phone.

In brief The standard Entro and Granta illustrated elsewhere on this site provides clients with basic time recording. This will record times of entry and exit and provide a summary of the staff members working hours together with a total for the number of hours worked by staff member or software department. This software works in conjunction with the ‘Granta ‘and ‘Entro’ access control system to provide a more in depth report as shown below.
