18.1 Complementary Safety Devices - Swing Doors
If there is any risk for finger jam:
- Internal Doors: Add finger protection strip at the hinge side (Article No. 833334).
- External Doors: Add finger protection roll (Article No. 833333).
18.2 Swing Doors Opening and Closing Time
Adjust, as a minimum, the operator's opening and closing time according to the guidelines below to ensure compliance.
18.2.1 How to find the correct opening and closing time
- Measure the door width.
- If the door weight is unknown, follow the instructions in the "Diagrams for door weight" section.
- Consult the diagram or guidelines below to find the correct minimum opening/closing time "t".
Example Calculation
If the door width is 1.1 m and the door weight is 80 kg, the minimum opening and closing time will be approximately 4.3 seconds.
Reference Data Points for Opening/Closing Times
(Time "t" in seconds depends on Door Width vs Weight)
| Door Width (m) | Weight 30-40kg | Weight 50-60kg | Weight 70-80kg | Weight 90-100kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.7 - 0.8 | ~ 3 sec | ~ 3.5 sec | ~ 4 sec | ~ 4.5 sec |
| 1.0 - 1.2 | ~ 3.5 sec | ~ 4 sec | ~ 4.3 sec | ~ 5 sec+ |
18.3 Diagrams for Door Weight
To determine the door weight:
- Measure the door width (DW) and the door height (DH) in metres for one door leaf only.
- Calculate the area: DW x DH = Area (m²).
- Select the diagram for your type of door and the actual glass thickness to find the weight.
Calculation Example
- Type: Aluminium door with glass
- Measurements: DW = 1.5 m, DH = 2 m
- Glass Thickness: 12 mm
- Area Calculation: 1.5 x 2 = 3 m²
Result: Follow the line for 3 m² up to the 12 mm glass curve, then go left to read the door weight: 95 kg.
Note! The weights can vary depending on the door design (the table shows only typical values).
18.3.1 Aluminium frame with glass
| Door Area (m²) | 6mm Glass | 8mm Glass | 10mm Glass | 12mm Glass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 m² | ~40 kg | ~50 kg | ~60 kg | ~70 kg |
| 3 m² | ~55 kg | ~65 kg | ~80 kg | ~95 kg |
| 4 m² | ~70 kg | ~85 kg | ~100 kg | ~120 kg |
| 5 m² | ~85 kg | ~105 kg | ~125 kg | ~145 kg |
