ASSA ABLOY Hands-Free Door Opening

ASSA ABLOY introduces hands-free door opening solutions that reduce skin-to-surface touchpoints.

Rockwood Hands-Free Arm and Foot Pulls are easy-to-install, cost-effective options for hands-free door operation in new or pre-existing openings in places like entrances, corridors and restrooms, according to the company. They are made of stainless steel and can be installed on wood, metal or aluminum doors. The pulls also comply with ADA standards and regulations.

“Retrofitting existing spaces to help maximize employee and customer safety is on everyone’s mind as businesses and organizations start to develop their return to work plans,” says Cris Post, general manager of Rockwood Products, ASSA ABLOY Architectural Door Accessories.

“We’ve seen incredible demand to bring a high-quality, durable, cost-efficient solution to the market and we are rapidly deploying to customers across North America.”

Qualtrics, an experience management company, surveyed more than 2,000 Americans during the coronavirus pandemic regarding their comfortability with returning to work and the reopening of public spaces.

The study found the majority of Americans still don’t feel comfortable going to a restaurant (68%), going shopping (51%), or attending a sporting event (79%).

Additionally, 66% of Americans reported they would feel uncomfortable returning to work right now and 74% said they want their work facility regularly cleaned and disinfected when they do return.

“The Rockwood team dramatically accelerated our product development pipeline to deliver this solution quickly to customers, helping them prepare to re-open schools, offices, restaurants, stores, and other public areas safely.”
