Frequently asked questions
Healthcare — FAQs
Why are automatic doors useful in healthcare buildings?
Automatic doors can support hands-free or low-effort circulation at entrances and internal routes. The exact operator and activation method should be selected according to the building's access and safety requirements.
Can healthcare projects use automatic swing operators?
Yes. Automatic swing operators can be used where a hinged leaf is preferred or where an existing swing door is being automated.
Are fire doors part of healthcare planning?
Fire-rated door systems can form part of compartmentation and life-safety planning. Their exact performance and hardware specification depend on the project.
