At SHARC Door Controls Inc. (SHARC®), enhancing accessibility and security is our top priority. Recently, we completed a major upgrade on the main entrance exterior doors of a local college, addressing critical accessibility and safety concerns. This post highlights our installation of a DormaKaba ED250 automatic door operator and a Von Duprin Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, fully integrated with the college’s existing access control system.

The Challenge: Outdated and Failed Door Systems

The college faced significant issues with its primary access point: the main entrance exterior doors. The outdated door operator and concealed vertical rod exit device were no longer reliable, frequently malfunctioning and compromising accessibility and security.

Our Solution: Advanced Hardware Systems working together for Seamless Access

To resolve these issues, we removed the failed Stanley components and installed state-of-the-art replacements:

DormaKaba ED250 Automatic Door Operator

  • Built for heavy usage, ensuring reliability.
  • Advanced Wind Load Control features for buildings with extensive building pressure or outside windy conditions.
  • Provides quiet, seamless door operation both manually or with the touch of an activation push button.
  • Low Energy Operators that reduces energy consumption, promoting sustainability.

Von Duprin 9827 QEL Exit Device

  • The Quiet Electric Latch Retraciton ensures silent operation when unlocking the door, perfect for any setting.
  • Provides unrestricted egress for emergency situations with reliable latch retraction when using the automatic door operator.
  • When integreated properly, this device is compatabley any access control or automatic door system.
  • This exit device unlocks electronically only when instructed to by the access control system, or when the interior automatic door activation switch is used.

The Impact: Improved Accessibility and Security

The project has significantly enhanced the college’s accessibility and security. Students and staff now experience effortless entry and exit through the main entrance, while the administration benefits from improved security and management capabilities.
