Entrapment Protection for Motorized Doors

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Motorized doors in industrial and warehousing environments provide convenience, save time, and increase productivity. However, motorized doors also carry the risk of entrapment. This course explains the need for entrapment protection devices on motorized commercial and industrial doors and discusses how to specify the appropriate sensing edge actuation method and monitoring function to meet design, safety, and industry code requirements for specific building projects.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss the hazard points on motorized commercial and industrial doors, and recognize the need for entrapment protection to minimize the risk of injury to personnel and damage to products or equipment.
  • Describe the functional and operational aspects of sensing edges for motorized commercial and industrial doors to determine how they impact activation and safety.
  • Identify relevant industry codes and standards and discuss the enhanced revisions to UL 325.
  • Evaluate accreditation criteria to determine how to select a qualified door subcontractor.
  • Differentiate between sensing edge actuation methods and monitoring functions.
  • Specify the appropriate sensing edge to meet the design, operation, and life-safety requirements for motorized commercial and industrial doors in different building environments.
