Automatic doors installed for brain injury charity

Gabriel Eaton of Headway says: “We rely on access being smooth and hassle free because many of our members will be in wheelchairs or using walking aids."

Delta Security arranged a site visit and agreed, as per its policy, to only charge for the consultation if it could solve the problem there and then: It  recommended one door was replaced and said the other could be fixed, but that it would need to come back with the appropriate parts. Therefore, Headway was not charged for the visit and instead quoted for the job.

The installation took place on a Sunday so that access was not compromised during opening hours and works were completed in a timely manner.

The record electro-mechanical DFA 127 swing door operator system was chosen for its convenient, low-noise, energy-saving and reliable design, and its compliance with health and safety and fire regulations and standards. The door can be configured into four modes, with the ‘Gentle’ model suitable for environments where additional time may be required during access.

Eaton adds that the service received from Delta Security was excellent: “We were provided with a quote the morning after the visit. Works were completed around our schedule, quickly and to a high standard. We would be happy to recommend Delta.”

Dave Mundy, managing director, Delta Security, says the company has a wealth of experience of working in sensitive environments: “Not being able to enter or leave a building without assistance can be embarrassing and frustrating, especially for those with long-term disabilities. Our engineers have a great deal of knowledge in terms which products are most reliable and best suited to specific environments.”
