Open Sesame: Give preference to automatic and low-effort doors – avoid revolving doors
These automatic sliding doors are triggered by all users looking to enter the building and require no additional effort to open.
It is important that the sensors remain open long enough for users who move slowly and are able to detect someone entering from the side, as people who are blind or have low vision often use the building edge as a guide.

This revolving door has been designed to be adaptable for users. The door has the option of slowing down, remaining fully open of converting into a conventional sliding door. This enables the door to change for high volumes of users, people using wheelchairs or mobility aids, people with buggies, suitcases or shopping trolleys, and people with visual impairments.
Automatic doors are provided with a clear and level approach to the door. There is a direct and level path to the lifts once the user is inside.
