ESP has added a Foot Operated Door Pull to its Aperta access control range, following increasing enquiries and demand from a marketplace where infection control is high on the agenda.
Hand hygiene is the single most important measure for preventing the spread of infection. With door handles and touch plates having one of the highest touch rates in any environment, they are likely to hold a significant number of microbes on their surfaces.
With a foot operated door pull, users are able to open the door in a more hygienic way with their foot, thus eliminating the need to use their hands and avoiding the problem of handle to hand germ transfer.
Made from brushed stainless steel and supplied with rubber stoppers, the new foot pull will work on latch-less wooden or metal doors. They are simple to install with the fixing bolt and screws included, and completed with an operation sticker to be positioned at eye level.
The foot pull can be a fast solution for contactless applications, suiting new and retro fit installations.
