West End Windows has a strong presence in the automatic door industry and the commercial door and hardware sales and service field since our inception in 1975. We are well aware of the need to keep abreast of new concepts in our industry and we strive to maintain the optimum in service and products available in today's market, which has enabled us to maintain our competitive edge. We not only supply a wide variety of products in both manual door hardware and automatic / specialty door lines, but we back this up with a highly trained and readily available fabrication team.
West-End Windows have a swing door operator to meet every application, from a low energy swing door to meet codes to access for people with physical disabilities. Swing door operator systems can be fitted onto existing doors or we can provide complete packages including the commercial glass doors.
We have been very active in various projects providing automatic door openers to facilitate access for people who require assistance. Building codes for many of the municipalities now require that door openers be installed on doors to businesses that are open to the general public to provide this access. Many municipalities have installed automatic door openers at their buildings to fulfil this need. The operators are very versatile as they can be used manually at all times or automatically by those who require assistance. We have also supplied "assist" operator systems into nursing homes, department stores, hospitals, co-ops, apartment buildings and private residences.
Swing door operators can be activated by a variety of devices. The options include motion sensors, push switches, keypads, key switches, hand-held radio controls and actuating mats.
We have a wide selection of push switches such as jamb-mounted push buttons, wall-mounted push plates and all-active switches to provide activation for automatic doors.
