Advantages of Automatic Doors in Emergency Situations
First of all, automatic doors stand out with their ability to react quickly in emergency situations. Compared to manual doors, automatic doors have the ability to close and open immediately. This allows for rapid evacuation in case of emergencies such as fires and earthquakes. Automatic doors increase life safety by making it easier for people to safely exit the building.
In addition, because automatic doors are equipped with smart sensors, they minimize the possibility of panic-blocking escape routes in emergency situations. These sensors can stop the door immediately when an obstacle is detected and keep escape routes open by opening in the opposite direction. This feature helps to prevent potential accidents during panic escape in emergency situations.
Automatic doors also have the advantage of providing easy access in times of emergency. For the physically disabled or elderly, it can be difficult to open manual doors in an emergency. However, automatic doors allow them to exit quickly and easily, ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity in emergency evacuations.
In addition to standard automatic doors, there are also panic escape doors that allow people to evacuate quickly. Due to the structure of the building, emergency exit can be provided by normally used doors. In order to provide an emergency exit feature in automatic sliding doors, wings equipped with special mechanical equipment that deactivates the automation if the wings are pushed in the direction of escape and open 90 degrees from the sliding position are used. Under normal conditions, automatic sliding door wings with panic escape features, which are aesthetically not different from standard applications, can be easily used in any environment where they are needed.
As a result, automatic doors increase life safety by offering advantages such as fast response in emergencies, safe evacuation, obstacle prevention with sensors, and easy access. Thanks to these features, automatic doors have become an important tool for raising safety standards and optimizing emergency response in modern buildings.
