What is Touchless door hardware and what is it used for?

Touchless door hardware refers to door handles, knobs, and levers that can be operated without the need for physical contact. These types of door hardware are designed to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria, especially in public places and high-traffic areas, by eliminating the need for people to touch surfaces that may be contaminated.

 

Some common types of touchless door hardware include:

Motion sensors: Door handles with built-in motion sensors that open the door automatically when someone approaches.

Foot pedals: Foot pedals that can be used to open doors without using your hands.

Wave-to-open: Doors that can be opened by waving a hand or an object in front of a sensor.

Push bars: Door handles with push bars that can be used to open doors with an elbow or a hip.

Keyless entry: Doors that can be opened using a keycard, a keypad, or a smartphone app.

Touchless lock: Locks that can be operated without physical contact, using a combination of sensors and electronic controls.

Touchless door hardware is widely used in healthcare facilities, schools, offices, public transportation, and other public spaces, to help reduce the spread of infections and promote hygiene. Additionally, some touchless door hardware systems are designed to be energy-efficient, automatically shutting off lights or adjusting temperature settings when a room is empty.
