What hardware can commercial sliding doors utilize?

Doors can be one of the more difficult parts of the built environment to specify—due to opening size, operational and hardware requirements listed in local building codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. These requirements can be even more difficult when an application calls for access control or custom assemblies.

Hardware requirements can also vary between automatic sliding door systems, telescoping sliding doors and other types of flexible opening systems. To streamline the design and installation process, commercial sliding doors from AD Systems can incorporate a wide range of door hardware, such as:

• Key locks
• Privacy locks (with or without indicator)
• Self-latching/positive latching mortise
• Single action egress
• Access control integration options
• Magnetic lock – key card/access control
• Electric Strike - key card/access control
• Flush pulls
• Anti-ligature hardware
• Self-closers
• Automation packages
