Door and Entry Access for the Disabled (DDA)
Woodwood door control products and door operators are designed to provide equal access for all and provide solutions for new and existing buildings.
Equal accessibility for all! This is the basic goal of legislation and supporting regulations to provide accessibility for people who are disabled. For years people with disabilities have been prevented from taking part in the mainstream of public activity by the limited capability of buildings to accommodate them. Public transportation, building entrances, stairways and curbs combine to provide an effective barrier to many capable but disabled people.
All ‘Macwood’ door operators are designed to provide access for all. With a wide selection of operators we are able to provide solutions for new and existing buildings.
