Push-to-open to wave-to-open upgrades

Change the interaction. Check the whole opening.

A push plate and a touchless sensor may perform a similar activation role, but they are not necessarily interchangeable. Power, output type, mounting depth, weather exposure and device settings differ. The existing operator must respond correctly, and the new sensing field must suit the approach without unwanted activation from passing traffic.

Activation upgrades: review priorities

• Existing plate size, backbox and wall finish
• Wired or wireless activation arrangement
• Sensor power and compatible relay output
• Placement, detection field and clear user instructions

Scoping push-to-open to wave-to-open upgrades

Assess both sides of the opening and decide whether one or more controls should change. The work may include wiring, mounting adaptations, operator adjustments and signage. Test the result from the intended approach and confirm that ordinary passing traffic does not unintentionally activate the door.

Your activation upgrades brief

Count all current controls, including secondary plates or remote activation. Tell us if users are carrying items, pushing carts or approaching from an angle, and identify exterior exposure or cleaning practices that could influence selection.
