Macwood underfloor low energy 'slow-open' automatic / manual door operators are ideal for use by everyone, especially people with disabilities without compromising building aesthetics, as the operator is concealed.

By definition a low energy door operator, when opening a door, will not exceed 1.6 joules of kinetic energy which is the safe maximum specified by BS 7036 part 4. The safety sensor mounted on the push side will automatically re-open a closing door. Doors fitted with a Macwood 'UFSO' operator can always be opened manually. They function as a normal hydraulic damped door closer which, in the event of a power failure is an essential feature.		The UFSO range of operators are suitable for new or existing doors - see right for installation options. Switch options include a range of push buttons, touch sensitive handles (for power assistance) remote controls and most access control switches including fobs, card readers, key pads and biometric readers.

Single action automatic /manual operation. Single action assisted opening. 'Fly-Open' for smoke ventilation, air pressure relief and escape (open on fire alarm). Incorporation of PSB locking bolts integrated with the access control (where door widths allow). Break-out where door construction permits.		Suitable for centre pivoted doors. Off Set Pivoted doors. Hinged doors (for use with an off set strap). Standard - Ribbed aluminium. 28mm tray to take floor finish.

The UFSO operator is suitable for installation with arched head doors. This is achieved by:
Use of an off set strap lined up with lift off hinges.
Floor box is set under the door frame at the pivot end to line through with the hinges.

Making it possible to automate existing arched head doors; helping to overcome planning restraints and the challenge of bringing listed buildings into the 21st Century.
