Testing the limits of door safety
March 1st 2009

Force and torque test equipment manufacturer,Mecmesin offers a manual handling kit suitable for testing forces associated with using doors, windows and other building hardware components to ensure they maintain regulatory compliance and safety standards. The kit enables users to quickly and easily test the functionality of all forms of access, for example, measuring force required to open un-powered doors, automatic gates and barriers, or operate handles, levers and emergency devices – maintaining DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) and UK Building Regulations compliance.

If left unmonitored, these elements can pose a danger to users as they could fail to operate correctly, causing injury and damage. Proper assessment can help prevent such incidents as potential hazards can be identified early and repairs and alterations rendered before an accident happens.
