Automatic swing door systems from Detex Corp. can be used at entrance doors, in surgical areas, on cross-corridor doors — anywhere complete access without hands-on door contact is required.
Detex Swing Door System components include the AO19 automatic door opener that can operate light or heavy doors in low energy applications and has controls mounted and pre-wired in one unit, as well as electrified Advantex panic hardware, keypads and card readers. These can be used for interior doors where the general public can access a wall button or authorized personnel can use a keypad or card reader, or for exterior doors that open with a wall button for assisted entry during the day and restricted entry after hours.
Preconfigured EasyKits install with any hardware already in place, such as door prop alarms, camera setups, or roaming-alert systems used in assisted living facilities.
