The two documents that matter
Our accessible door solutions follow the National Building Code Volume 1-2016, Part 3 – Annexure B and the CPWD Handbook on Barrier Free and Accessibility, Chapter 8. Together they cover the accessible route, door operation and the accessible restroom.
What an accessible door needs
- An accessible layout with a push-knob lock and release at reachable height.
- An emergency pull-cord inside the restroom, with a siren outside.
- Operation that needs little force — low-energy automatic operators remove it entirely.
- Activation the user can actually reach: push pad, radar or access control.
The hardware we use to comply
| Requirement | System | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Effortless sliding door | CS 80 MAGNEO | Low-energy operator, adjustable speed 0.2–0.6 m/s, leaf 20–80 kg |
| Effortless swing door | ED 100 / ED 250 | Low Energy as default; push pad, radar or access control activation |
| Accessible revolving entrance | Talos RDR | Handicap button for temporary speed reduction; night-time closure with sliding wings |
Because these are the same product families used for the building's main entrances, accessibility can be achieved without a visually separate 'special' door.
