Automating the Access Door Means Safety for your Clients and Employees
Among the benefits of the automatic access door, one that is not always well highlighted is the ability to command the door to lock in the closed position from inside, without needing direct intervention at the door or its automation.
When does this ability to block access from the inside by closing the door become useful? Especially when we talk about a commercial space, such as a 24/7 store or pharmacy, where extended hours sometimes even during the night entail a series of risks. For employees or clients.
How does it all happen? Very simply and safely: automation allows the door to be commanded from the store counter, for example, and the cashier can immediately lock it in the closed position when needed.
This may be necessary in various situations: when the maximum allowed number of clients in the respective space has been exceeded (see social distancing rules and controlled and limited access in closed spaces during the COVID-19 crisis), when the staff inside the commercial space perceives a danger (a disruptive visitor, etc.), when a break in the workflow is necessary (for disinfecting the space, restocking, inventory, etc.).
In most situations, in smaller stores or pharmacies, staff are very busy with various operations, and such a facility offered by access door automation makes employees’ lives easier, creates a sense of control and safety, and can prevent problematic situations from arising.
The ability to remotely command the door is available to anyone with an installed automatic access solution. Additionally, the benefits of the automatic door are evident and numerous: high resistance to heavy traffic, long-term reliability, compliance with hygiene rules due to the absence of handles or knobs, surfaces so exposed to contact and, therefore, the risk of contamination with various pathogens. Moreover, if the automatic door is equipped with a breakout system, it plays an essential role in evacuation during a fire situation.
The automatic door is therefore a handy solution especially for heavily trafficked commercial spaces, where employee safety and client comfort are essential objectives.
