Automatic Swing Door Operator Replacement – Oxpens College, Oxford

We provide for compliance servicing of all types of commercial doors including automatic as seen here at Oxpens College of Further Education in Oxford, Oxfordshire.

During a routine service as per our schedule which includes inspecting and testing, we found that there was a failure with the external DDA automatic door on the main entrance.

A quotation was submitted for a replacement due to major fault with the processor on an obsolete ASSA Abloy operator.

The customer accepted and we arranged the installation to be carried out at the most convenient time and arrived on site when agreed whilst the college was on a break.

We always carry out a risk assessment and deploy our yellow safety barriers to designate a safe working area.

For the new installation we used the Record DFA127 operator and installed the on-door safety sensors which monitor the sweep area of the door.

If a sensor detects a person or object will stop at a safe distance eliminating any risk of impact or crushing.

The operator is connected to the site Access Control so only staff and students can enter the building as part of their Safeguarding Policy.

Following setting up, commissioning and testing we handed over all documentation. It is also important to train the staff on safe use of the door system and what to do in case of an emergency.
