Top of mind for today's facility managers is the prevention of spreading harmful germs, such as COVID-19, which includes finding methods to promote social distancing.
According to a recent study by food and beverage market analyst Dataessential, touching door handles topped the list of things respondents believed would increase their likelihood to contract coronavirus, at 78%.
Here are six easy door upgrade solutions that can help prevent people from coming in physical contact with doors AND each other:
- Wave to Open switches allow activation without any touchpoints
- SuperScans prevent the door from closing (and creating touchpoint) while walking through opening
- Infinite Hold-Open removes touchpoint of the door handle on public spaces
- Executive Mode allows users to close the door while preventing unnecessary face-to-face interactions
- One-Person Install allows installers to comply with social distancing efforts and reduce risk
- WiFi Setup eliminates touchpoints on the cover and on PC board during setup
