Unique & Custom Applications

These folks started out with two 48″ wide doors. It was an 8′ wide Double-Entry. And if you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can tell that it was time for these doors to be replaced anyway.

What they wanted was a door that automatically locked, unlocked, opened and closed via remote control.

What was settled upon was replacing the two 48″ wide doors with two 36″ wide doors with a mull-post set between them, as shown above in our first after shot.

So we provided & installed an electromagnetic lock tied in with an electromechanical door operator.

This allowed their wheelchair bound family member to have the door locked when at home alone, but also able to unlock, and open the door when friends came to visit without having to wheel himself over to the door.

He was able to achieve this via a handheld remote control.

The locks shown on this door are strictly “dummy-handles” for aesthetic balance with the other door.
The other door had your standard locking hardware for use by non-wheelchair bound members of the family.

Here’s a shot of our very own Mrs. A demonstrating the doors wheelchair use for our photo documentation of the project.
