SINGLE HAND OPERATION: The door open button is depressed. The same hand can then open the door. All Chute Source doors are single hand operation.
TWO HAND OPERATION: The door open button is depressed and while one hand is on the button, the second hand must open the door. Older Chute Source two hand doors can be converted in the field, to single hand operation without affecting the floor To floor wiring.

Door Types:
EI (ELECTRICALLY OPERATED DOORS)
Doors prevent more than one door from being open at a time thus protecting from falling trash. They also provide a means to lock doors in the event of fire or while servicing the system.
ADA DOORS
are built based on the requirements of the American Disabilities Act. The doors must either open and close by themselves (a combination electrical and air) or require no more than a 5 lb. pull. In some cases, the door open button may be required to be no more than 48″ from the floor. An ADA door meets all the requirements for EI Electrically operated doors.
HANDS-FREE
The door open button is replaced by a photo-eye so that it is not necessary to touch the door. This is ideal for hospitals. Both ADA and El doors can be built “HANDS FREE”.
