Entrances and exits

Every Customer Counts

What you need to know

 
Can customers easily see and open your door?

Whether you run a small shop, public service or large business, you want as many customers as possible to be able to enter
your premises.

Make sure that your entrance is easy to identify and find, ensure it stands out from the façade. A main step-free 1000mm wide entrance will allow all customers equal access to your building. Providing a canopy will shelter customers in all weathers.

  • One of the easiest things you can do is to check your door handles, and feel how heavy the door is to open.
  • A D-shaped handle can be opened from different heights, or an easy action lever handle at the right eight can make all the difference.
  • Propping doors open in the summer can be useful but don’t forget to think about long term management.
  • Consider installing automatic doors, they are helpful for all your customers.
