Allegion's Commercial Family of Brands
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law, not a building code. This act is designed to provide protection for people with disabilities. Two ADA criteria affect the door closer selection and adjustments- opening force and time to close.
The accessibility standards require interior hinged, sliding, or folding doors, other than fire doors, to be able to be opened with a maximum force of five pounds.
Additionally, door closers must be adjusted so that it takes at least five seconds for the door to move from an open position of 90 degrees to 12 degrees from the latch.
LCN automatic operators have been improving accessibility in schools and health care facilities for over 20 years. All LCN automatic operator systems are easily retrofitted into existing doors and frames, as well as new construction.
Double heat-treated pinions are used in LCN door closers to provide extra strength and reduce fatigue so that the hardware can deliver consistent performance and withstand high-abuse applications.
As part of Allegion’s family of pioneering brands, LCN benefits from the strength, efficiencies, resources, and integration from a global power. In turn, we pass those advantages on to you.
Allegion helps keep people safe and secure where they live, work and visit. With more than 30 brands sold worldwide, we specialize in security around the doorway and beyond. It’s the power of one.
