Important Questions
- Are doors equipped with handicap accessible equipment?
- Are doors able to be opened and closed easily while complying with ADA regulations?

ACTUATORS / WAVE TO OPEN
Low-profile touchless actuators meet ADA and ANSI standards for those with limited mobility, enhancing accessibility for all. They are used in conjunction with low-energy power operators to automate swing doors with a “knowing act” (actuator). Touchless actuators reduce the spread of germs and bacteria in critical environments.

LEVER LOCKS
Available Brands: LSDA, Falcon, Arrow, Corbin Russwin, Sargent, Marks, Schlage
For door handle requirements, the ADA says that operable parts shall be operable with one hand and shall not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. In general terms, lever locks are ADA-compliant, and knobs are not. IDN stocks a variety of lever locks with various functions for various areas within a healthcare facility, including bathrooms, closets, patient rooms, storage, and more.
THRESHOLDS
Available Brands: Pemko, NGP
ADA compliance focuses on threshold height and thickness because improper use can bar a person from using a mobility aid (e.g., wheelchair) from entering or exiting an area. A traditional threshold runs across the bottom of an entry door opening to cover seams and provides a seal underneath the door to protect the building from drafts. A low threshold provides the same function and is designed lower to the ground to comply with ADA requirements.
POWER DOOR OPERATORS
Electro-mechanical low-energy swing door operators are designed to automate swing doors in ADA barrier-free access situations. Low-energy operators come loaded with features while offering a quiet, dependable operation. Operators can be used to automate swinging doors in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living homes, restrooms, and more. Doors equipped with low-energy operators can be opened manually or through the use of a “knowing act” device (i.e., push button, remote, or touchless wave-to-open actuator).
