The Benefits of Balanced Dawson Doors

Also known as pivot doors, balanced doors offer various benefits that should be considered when designing your next entrance. This is especially true of Dawson doors in New York, which deliver high functionality and beautiful aesthetics perfect for public, commercial, and monumental facilities. Some of the different benefits that come with Dawson doors include:

Ease of Operation – Originally, balanced doors were designed to combat high-wind areas and the stack pressure that comes with high-rise buildings. Instead of fighting against the air pressure, these doors are designed to use the exterior and interior air pressure differential to open the door.

Improved Auto Operator – While the team at Dawson saw how functional, balanced doors were, they also realized there was a way to enhance the design. They did this by incorporating an auto-operator, eliminating the need for a closer. This creates a genuinely free-swinging door that doesn’t need any additional resistance.

Secured Mechanisms – Dawson is the only door builder that secures its operating mechanism inside the head instead of the floor. This unique design means there isn’t a need to perform any groundbreaking to install, replace, or repair the door. This saves a lot of time and cost.
