One of the most important sectors at the moment for automatic doors is the NHS and Care homes.
COVID-19 is a huge contamination risk, especially with patients and staff walking in and out of hospitals and care homes.
The infection is understood to be mainly transmitted via large respiratory droplets containing the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Studies have shown that COVID-19 can survive on metal, plastic and glass hardware for over 9 days. Installing a new set of automatic doors or retro fitting your existing doors, can help stop prevent the transmission of the virus.
Anyone who has contracted the virus can easily spread this through touching a door handle, which can potentially contaminate the next patient or member of staff.
An automatic door will help remove this cross contamination as you can put all your trust into our sensors. No need to wipe down them handles on a daily basis!

We also have many alternative solutions, which can help stop prevent the spread of Covid-19.
- Touchless switch.
- Flow control.
- Access control.
- One way activation systems.
