Enhancing Accessibility at Burton Town Hall

The 'Box Test', a key compliance measure outlined in EN 16005, revealed that the system’s safety sensors were insufficient, creating potential hazards for users – particularly those with disabilities.

DUK Doors was called upon to provide a solution, and we delivered with the installation of modern Record DFA127 swing door operators, complete with advanced on-door safety sensors.

Project Overview

Here are the steps our engineers took to ensure Burton Town Hall received the best installation possible for their doors.

The Problem: Non-Compliance and Accessibility Challenges

The Problem

The existing system at Burton Town Hall fell short of safety standards and failed to meet the accessibility needs of individuals with disabilities. The lack of effective sensors to detect obstructions posed a significant risk, and the outdated design limited reliable, hands-free access for users.

The Solution: Record DFA127 Swing Operators

The Solution

To address these issues, DUK Doors replaced the non-compliant system with the state-of-the-art Record DFA127 swing door operators.

This upgrade offered several key benefits:

  1. Comprehensive Safety Features: The new on-door safety sensors enhance obstacle detection, ensuring the door operates safely for all users. This upgrade fully complies with EN 16005 standards, passing the 'Box Test' with flying colours.

  2. Accessibility Focus: Designed with inclusivity in mind, the DFA127 operators ensure smooth, hands-free access for individuals with mobility challenges, aligning with UK accessibility regulations.

  3. Reliability and Versatility: The DFA127 is renowned for its robust performance and adaptability, making it a durable choice for high-traffic venues like Burton Town Hall.

The Installation Process

The Installation Process

DUK Doors managed the entire installation process with precision:

  • Safe Removal of the Old System: The non-compliant system was dismantled carefully to ensure minimal disruption to the hall’s operations.

  • Seamless Installation of the DFA127 Operators: Our skilled technicians installed the new automatic swing door, integrating the advanced safety sensors directly onto the doors for optimal performance.

  • Rigorous Testing: Post-installation, the system was thoroughly tested to confirm compliance with EN 16005 and ensure flawless operation.

The Result: A Safer, More Accessible Burton Town Hall

The Result

The upgraded automatic doors at Burton Town Hall now provide a safer, more welcoming experience for all visitors. With cutting-edge safety features and a focus on accessibility, the new system underscores the Town Hall’s commitment to serving the community with excellence.
