The remote controlled door opener can be operated with a hand held device or a variety of wheelchair-mounted remote controls, wall push pads, X10 home control systems and other specialty controls customized to accommodate almost any physical disability. High-powered, the remote device can activate the door system from anywhere in the home, and can be activated with fingers, palm, the side of the hand and more.

Design & Construction

Open Sesame Door operator is unobtrusive and designed specifically for the demands of the home environment. Constructed of permanently lubricated steel gears, steel housing, commercial grade door release hardware – no plastic parts are used in the Open Sesame Door operators. The standard finish is silver. A bronze or gold finish is available for an additional cost.

Operation: Manual or Power

Open Sesame door systems offer unique conveniences in operation. A door can be controlled with a remote control door-opening device or operated manually. Unlike some other door opening devices the Open Sesame is completely smooth in operation and feel. There is no clicking, friction and/or resistance when opening and closing the door. The door moves freely and can be left open or ajar for pets, repeated passage or for ventilation.

Installation

Most installations take less than 2 hours and can be done by anyone with general handyman skills. Open Sesame will work with most doors – the door must be neutral in its movement – aligned and hung properly, and not warped. Additionally, there must be no rubbing or binding of the door in the frame when closing.

The Open Sesame door opener is a safe low voltage device. You only need to plug in the 24 volt AC adapter to the nearest (within 30 ft) wall outlet, plug in the door opener to the small wall mounted junction box.

Security

The Open Sesame system incorporates the use of a door release mechanism installed in the door frame. This type of mechanism, called an “electric strike plate”, is commonly used in apartment buildings where an intercom system is present, and allows the continued use of all existing keys. There are some exceptions where non-locking door handles are present and existing hardware may need to be replaced.

Battery Back-up

In the event of a power outage the Open Sesame door operating system will operate at full power. It has an internal 12vdc lead acid battery that will run the unit for a day under loss of power. The battery is kept constantly charged while the power is on.
