Reduce The Spread Of Germs With No-Touch Solutions

 
Options like keyless entry, motion sensors, and antimicrobial door hardware can help cut down on the transmission of viruses and illnesses.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been more cautious, taking extra steps to promote health and safety. Fighting off bacteria is also currently on everyone’s minds, due to recent headlines: There has been a surge of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases, an early/active flu season, a lot of illness transmitted in schools, and a shortage of hospital beds (especially pediatric ones).

A wise way to decrease the spread of germs and the chances of getting sick is with the use of antimicrobial and no-touch devices. With each interaction, there is a chance of being exposed to viruses, but this unique door hardware helps inhibit the growth of germs in high-touch areas.

  1. Cylindrical levers are versatile, seen everywhere from hotel rooms and corridors to classrooms and restrooms. An antimicrobial cylindrical lever is a great choice for doors that are used regularly in public spaces.
  2. For those not wanting a lever, there are plenty of other microban hardware options. Many opt for these in their homes, working to keep families safe and well.
  3. With a wave-to-open motion sensor, one does not have to touch a door when opening/closing it. Not only does this reduce the spread of germs, but it is also convenient; whether someone is on crutches, has their hands full, or is pushing a stroller, they will still be granted access.
  4. Similarly, foot-operated door openers offer no-touch accessibility. These are commonly seen in public restrooms, which may have 500,000 bacterial cells per square inch.
  5. Keyless entrances keep growing in popularity, as houses, businesses, schools, hospitals and more up security with access control. There are a variety of options, ranging from entering with an employee badge or being buzzed in while appearing on a security camera.

With all of these antimicrobial and no-touch security solutions, experiences will be enhanced, accessibility will be boosted, and contamination will be prevented. If you are interested in any of these products, call Cothron’s today at 512-472-6273 or request service here.
