Are revolving doors safe to operate? How about in an emergency?
A. A manual revolving door made by IRD has a manual speed control either above or below the center shaft. This will keep it from speeding up or spinning unsafely. Our automatic and security doors have electronically-regulated speed controls (usually above) with built-in sensors on the wings that monitor the pedestrian’s progress through the compartment as the wings move forward. In an emergency it is possible to (non-damaging) collapse the door’s wings to the side. Additionally, your door’s custom design could have optional speakers and lights built-in to the ceiling in order for security personnel to communicate with a pedestrian and lessen any sense of panic during an emergency situation.
