New Compact Swing opens the door

The Compact Swing Operator is a new automatic door opening system by Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies. Designed primarily for the retrofit market, the Compact Swing provides a quick, easy and cost effective method of converting manual doors to an automatic opening.

The system is an independent, surface mounted operator which provides a quick and simple retrofit solution for existing timber, metal or glazed doorways or for new build applications. An automatic door can make a significant contribution towards energy saving which makes it a popular choice for lobbies and entrances as well as for corridor doors and retail environments. It also helps satisfy the requirements of the DDA and Doc M of the Building Regulations.

The operator is manufactured in high-grade extruded aluminium with a low-profile design. With an overall height of just 11cm and depth of 12cm, it is aesthetically designed to fit most existing profiles and can be adapted on site to suit a variety of door and frame widths.  Because the components are mounted on a first fix backplate, lateral adjustments of the drive mechanisms achieve perfect alignment of the operator with the opening. 

The operator features numerous control functions including: manual operation, adjustable opening, closing speed, delayed action, and push & go (where the opening cycle is initiated by gently pushing or pulling the door).  Two versions are available either using a slide track mounted on the door for fixing on the 'Pull' side or with projecting arms for fixing to the 'Push' side.  

Ingersoll Rand offer a full design, installation and commissioning service backed by a national network of installation and service engineers, all trained to BS7036 standards.
