  2. School pupils may get trapped in doors and face serious danger.
  3. People and objects getting trapped in doors leads to severe accidents and injuries.

How it works:
When stepped on, the contact strip on the step tread is activated and creates an electrical switching pulse that causes the door to stay open/reverse.

  1. Able to keep doors open and reverse doors 
  2. Integrated into the step tread in the door area 
  3. Pressure wave or safety edge possible 
  4. A maintenance-free system with function monitoring (only with the safety edge)
