Wave-to-Open Sensors

A wave-to-open door sensor makes opening doors while avoiding contact with germs easy. This sensor activates when a person waves their hand near a motion detection panel by the door. Sensors can be placed up to 10 feet away from the actual door, which helps limit unintended openings. In addition, you can program these openers to keep the door open for a certain amount of time. This feature will be especially nice if you serve elderly or disabled individuals who require more time to enter.

Automatic Openers

Automatic openers are an excellent choice for anyone serving those with mobility concerns because they automatically open as you approach the door. These are also great options for businesses with a large amount of traffic, including hospitals and retail stores. Shoppers with their arms full of purchases appreciate the automatic door assistance. In addition, openers have safety features built-in so that they won’t close or injure anyone actively going through. 

Touchless Access Control

Commercial touchless access control systems are perfect for businesses that require a higher level of security. These systems operate from a sensor placed near the door. From there, you can grant entry in several ways – including tapping a keycard, holding a phone or smart device near them, or using a facial recognition scanner. With all these options, access is controlled based on permissions, programmed using a computer. For example, you can easily activate or deactivate keycards if they are lost or stolen. However, taking time to program facial recognition may provide greater security for your business.

Antimicrobial Door Hardware

To prevent the spread of germs around the office, consider antimicrobial door hardware. This treatment is a great solution that fights against the most common bacteria, mold, and mildew in situations where someone can’t avoid a door handle. Unlike typical disinfectants that stop fighting germs quickly, this technology works continuously. It can reduce bacteria growth up to 99% on treated hardware.
