What standards must be met in terms of accessibility?

When it comes to locking systems, several standards coexist, depending on the type of building in which the locking system is to be installed.

While not all users are familiar with these standards, it is the duty of installers and manufacturers to inform them.

Here's a quick look at the standards applicable to your escape doors, depending on the type of building to be equipped.

 

The following information is of particular interest:

  • Buildings open to the public must be accessible to people with disabilities. (PSH)
  • Companies with more than 20 employees must be accessible to people with disabilities.
  • Door handles must be easy to grasp and maneuver by people who have difficulty grasping and turning their wrists. Knob handles and knurled knobs are therefore outlawed.

At Guidotti, we offer a whole range of totally accessible solutions, and we'll be introducing a new one very soon!
