Automatic Door Suppliers Association

Before specifying a set of automatic doors, the following points should be checked out with the supplier:
»	Will the installation comply with British Standard 7036 1996 covering safety of powered doors for pedestrian use and the guidelines laid down by ADSA which cover both the provision and fitting of safety devices?
»	Are these devices being offered as standard equipment?
»	Can the installation meet the provisions of BS 5588 covering fire precautions in the design, construction and use of buildings.?
»	Is the supplier able to offer the required after-sales support, including a long-term maintenance agreement?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, then the supplier is probably not an ADSA member. To ensure that standards of safety, quality, reliability and after-sales service to both specifiers and users are met, insist on an ADSA member. A full list of members is available here.
