Allegion Introduces The First & Only Automatic Operator Designed to Easily Automate Interior Openings.<\/div>\n

This year marks the 31st<\/sup> anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which legally requires buildings across the country to make certain accommodations for individuals with disabilities. While progress has been made, there is still more work to be done to ensure equal access for all building occupants. Resource limitations are the primary obstacle that stand in the way. LCN is working to help facilities overcome this challenge, with the LCN COMPACT automatic operator which was thoughtfully designed to make upgrading an existing opening easier and more cost-effective. <\/p>\n

The modular design is unique and enables the reuse of an existing LCN 4040XP mechanical closer, for retrofittable options.\u00a0 The simplicity of this solution reduces the cost, labor and complexity required to automate an opening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As facilities work to safely reopen, risk mitigation is also top of mind. High-touch surfaces are a common area of focus, due to concerns about the contact transmission of pathogens. Pairing automatic operators with touchless actuators is a common way to address this challenge and enable hands-free operation of an opening. However, such solutions are typically complex and expensive. LCN designed the COMPACT automatic operator to make touchless operation simple and attainable for more facilities. <\/p>\n

“Many campuses and schools are looking to reopen for in-person classes this fall, employees are returning to offices across the nation, and healthcare facilities are continuing to invest in healthy environments. Having a touchless solution<\/a>\u00a0has become an important consideration for enabling a safe reopening,” said Mike Wagnes<\/span>, vice president and general manager of Commercial Americas at Allegion. “With the LCN COMPACT automatic operator, facility managers can now offer people additional peace-of-mind that they can return to a building that is both accessible and health conscious.”<\/p>\n

Whether upgrading a single opening, renovating a portion of the building or constructing a new facility, the ANSI A156.19<\/a>\u00a0certified COMPACT Series enables facility managers to promote a healthy and accessible environment. Additional features for the LCN 6400 COMPACT\u2122 Series Low-Energy Automatic Operator include:\u00a0<\/p>\n
