Tech Tip of the Week: Don't Let a Door Closer Become a Security Risk!
Did you know that seasonal temperature changes can affect how your building's doors close?
As temperatures drop, changes in hydraulic fluid viscosity and weather seals can affect door-closing performance. A door that worked perfectly in summer may suddenly close too slowly, slam shut, or fail to latch properly.
This week's tip: Take a quick walk around your facility and check that exterior doors close and latch securely without assistance.
Pay particular attention to doors equipped with access control systems. Even the best security technology can't protect an entrance if the door doesn't close properly!
A simple seasonal check can help prevent security vulnerabilities, unnecessary alarms, and costly service calls.
A little prevention today can make a big difference tomorrow!
