Automatic swing doors are used in areas where there is no much available space. The door swings out, giving an advantage to the exiting user and a dissadvantage to the incoming user. So it is perfect for one way function, but tricky for two way function. It is ideal for narrow corridors, emergency entrances in hospitals, sealed airlocks in pharmaceutical production premisses. Radars, floor mats, push buttons are used as activators. Passive infrared systems and photocels are the safety systems to prevent accidents when the door swings open.
The frame of the door can be aluminium, steel, or wood. The rest of the accessories (locks, access control, emergency handles) are used according to the architects instructions.
An automatic swing door is used according to function of the passage. It may be a passage used by handicaped, limited agility, or simply old people. A building's main entrance, or internal doors must be automatic when people do not have the strength to open them. In other occasions the doorleaf can be too heavy for any normal user to open it manually ( Xray, bullet proof, sound insulated ). Security can also be a reason to use automation, to make sure that a door opens only in controled occasions. Banks, and pharmaceutical companies use this type of doors in key impertance entrances

Hospitals have inelastic needs. Main entrances are heavy duty, high speed safety oriented automatic doors aiming to assist the passage to patients, carriages and doctors. By definition they are either in pain, absent minded and in a hurry, 24 hours per day. In almost every old existing structure we renovate there are space limitations. Sanitary requirements are many and different. Specifiers are usually architect teams ,expert only in hospitals. It takes many years of studying and practice to learn what a hospital needs
ANDROMEDA has produced and installed doors for more than twenty major hospitals in Greece. In the process three new options to the original model evolved. Inox, formica and aluminum. Standard sizes are 1.600 x 2.200. Custom made versions are available in custom sizes and window option. The automation is either hermetic or non hermetic. Activators are mainly proximity buttons and passive infrared radars. Access control is also applied in areas where only personnel can pass through.
