Description

AD Systems Sliding Door Opening Force Under ADA guidance, the force needed to open a door is less than 5 pounds of force, with the exception of the initial resistance of a door in a latched position. Our design has been tested to demonstrate that the opening force averages below 5 pounds for a door up to 220 pounds once the initial resistance to disengage the soft close damper is overcome. The initial force to open the door can vary based on weight of the door. Our systems including doors under 176.4lbs (80kg) take less than 10 pounds of force. Doors up to 220lb (100kg) may vary from 1014lb of force to initiate motion. The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design read as follows in addressing this matter: “Advisory 404.2.9 Door and gate opening force. The maximum force pertains to the continuous application of force necessary to fully open a door, not the initial force needed to overcome the inertia of the door. It does not apply to the force required to retract bolts or to disengage other devices used to keep the door in a closed position.” EXAMSLIDE TM High Performance Doors specADsystems.com Frame Designed to protect wall opening Handle ADA clearances maintained Sill Concealed sill guide AD Systems ExamSlideTM was specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s lean healthcare medical facilities.
