DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
PUTTING PEDESTRIAN SAFETY FIRST
GARADOR ’ S OFFER CO-ORDINATING SIDE DOORS FOR EASY GARAGE ACCESS
Garador ’ s range of garage side doors offer the ideal solution for anyone wanting quick and easy personal entry into their garage . The doors have been designed and engineered to offer smooth reliable functionality plus high levels of security and durability .
They include a number of key features such as door stays , rubber seals on all sides and a 20mm base threshold for added convenience and weather protection plus fully hidden hinges to further enhance the security of the door .
Garador ’ s garage side doors open outwards to ensure internal garage space is not compromised .
These useful doors come in both high-grade steel and quality cedar timber and in a wide range of designs and colour finishes and can be fully co-ordinated with Garador ’ s latest up and over garage door models .
Since it was introduced in 2013 the European safety standard EN 16005 remains a key standard to be followed to ensure pedestrian safety at automatic doors . Considered to be a more onerous standard it defines the responsibilities of all those in the construction industry from manufacturer to end user and including architects and contractors .
GEZE UK has revised and updated its popular and informative RIBAapproved CPD Safeguarding Pedestrians from Accidents at Power Operated Doorsets .
The 40-minute seminar looks at the European standard EN 16005 in detail and explains the responsibilities of all involved to ensure safety and compliance at all stages of construction .
It explains everything from activation distances for escape routes and non-escape routes ; the danger points of automatic sliding , swing and revolving doors and how safety features such as finger guards and protection leaves can be used to reduce the risk of injury ; and looks at revolving doors which are potentially the most dangerous and which received the most significant changes .
