Ensuring Seamless Accessibility for Southwestern Ontario Facilities
In a professional environment, accessibility is not just a courtesy; it is a legal requirement. At Knell’s, we specialize in the sale, service, and installation of high-performance commercial door operators. Building on our 119-year heritage and the specialized technical expertise of Knell’s Security Integration (KSI), we help facilities navigate the complexities of modern barrier-free entrance requirements.
From high-traffic retail centres to sensitive healthcare environments, we provide “One-Stop” solutions that ensure your commercial automatic doors are safe, reliable, and fully compliant with the latest provincial standards.
Expert Accessibility Solutions
We provide end-to-end support for accessible door installation services, ensuring that your facility is welcoming to all employees, visitors, and patients.
- Handicap Door Opener Installation: we supply and install heavy-duty, low-energy operators that allow for effortless entry. Our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing hardware and security protocols.
- Automatic Door for Commercial Facility Use: Whether you require overhead sliders for a hospital entrance or swing-door operators for an office building, we specify the right technology for your specific traffic volume.
- Compliance Consulting: Not sure if your building meets the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requirements for doors? Our team provides professional auditing and specification writing to ensure you are fully compliant with current legislation.
- Unified Security Integration: As experts in both door hardware and electronic security, we can integrate your automatic operators with card readers and alarm systems, ensuring accessibility never comes at the expense of security.
AODA Compliance: It’s More Than Just a Button
Navigating the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requirements for doors can be challenging. Compliance involves specific standards for door width, opening force, and the timing of automatic closers. At Knell’s, we take the guesswork out of the process, ensuring every commercial door operator we install meets or exceeds provincial safety and accessibility codes.
