This seminar focuses on the impact of the pandemic on the specification of architectural ironmongery and access control.
This CPD presentation provides information on what types of ironmongery specifiers can look to schedule in buildings going forward, in this new post-pandemic normality. It will focus particularly on how to reduce time spent touching doors and hardware as well as the role of anti-microbial ironmongery.
Topics covered include a background to the changes to our normality caused by COVID-19, specialist closing devices and door automation, access control and electronic looking, anti-microbial product and considerations on retrofit products.
By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- The impact of COVID-19 on our lives and on specification hardware
- The role of specialist closing devices and door automation and what to be aware of in respect of fire doors
- Fitting door stops, gaskets and architraves
- Installation of door closer and fire signage plus sign off of fire certification
- The varying types of anti-microbial product such as copper, silver, applied finishes and polyamide
