Automatic doors have become a standard feature in Dubai’s malls, hotels, hospitals, offices, and airports, offering convenience, accessibility, and a modern look. But beyond functionality and design, safety remains the most crucial aspect of any automatic door installation in Dubai. A poorly installed or unsafe system can cause accidents, security risks, and even legal complications for businesses.
At Smart Gate Innovations Dubai, we specialize in installing automatic sliding doors, swing doors, and revolving doors with a strong focus on safety, compliance, and performance. Here’s a breakdown of the essential safety components every automatic door installation must include.
1. Safety Sensors and Motion Detectors
Why They’re Important:
Sensors detect approaching people and objects, ensuring the door opens automatically at the right time. They also prevent doors from closing on someone unexpectedly.
Types of Sensors Used in Dubai Installations:
- Infrared motion sensors – detect movement from a distance.
- Microwave sensors – ideal for high-traffic areas.
- Presence sensors – monitor stationary objects in the doorway.
At Smart Gate Innovations Dubai, we install advanced automatic door sensors designed to handle Dubai’s busy commercial environments, ensuring reliable performance in malls, hotels, and office towers.
2. Safety Beams (Infrared or Laser)
Safety beams create an invisible line across the doorway. If something crosses it while the door is closing, the system automatically reverses.
Benefit in Dubai Businesses:
These beams are vital in hospitals, airports, and retail outlets where safety and continuous foot traffic are a priority.
3. Emergency Breakout Systems
In emergency situations such as fire or power failure, doors must allow people to exit quickly and safely. Breakout systems ensure that automatic sliding or swing doors can be pushed open manually in emergencies.
Smart Gate Innovations Dubai installs automatic doors with manual override systems to comply with UAE’s strict safety regulations.
4. Access Control Integration
For many businesses in Dubai, automatic doors are part of a larger security ecosystem. Access control systems ensure only authorized individuals can enter restricted areas.
Common features include:
- Keycard or keypad access
- Biometric scanners
- Remote monitoring systems
This integration enhances both safety and security, making it ideal for banks, corporate offices, and government buildings.
5. Safety Signage and Indicators
Clear signage is essential for guiding people on how to use automatic doors. LED indicators, visual cues, and safety stickers help reduce misuse and accidents.
Smart Gate Innovations Dubai provides custom signage solutions that blend with your building’s design while ensuring user safety.
6. Battery Backup Systems
Dubai experiences occasional power interruptions, which can disrupt business operations. A battery backup system ensures that automatic doors continue to function or can at least be safely opened during outages.
This feature is critical for hospitals, hotels, and 24/7 businesses where uninterrupted access is essential.
7. Door Speed and Force Control
Automatic doors must open and close at a controlled speed and with the right amount of force. If a door closes too quickly, it can cause accidents; if too slowly, it can disrupt traffic flow.
Professional installation ensures door speed and pressure are adjusted correctly, meeting international safety standards.
8. Regular Safety Inspections
Even the best safety components require regular maintenance to remain effective. Smart Gate Innovations Dubai offers preventive maintenance contracts that include:
- Sensor testing
- Emergency system checks
- Alignment and lubrication
- Safety compliance inspections
This proactive approach helps businesses avoid sudden breakdowns and ensures doors meet Dubai’s regulatory requirements.
