Swinging Doors
Sliding Doors
Wider door sizes help provide additional space for those who use mobility aids.
ADA-compliant sills (thermal break and non-thermal break) for swinging doors create a flush surface for easy access to pass through.
Aluminum sill ramp kits for Garden- Aire sliding patio doors allow smooth transitioning between the interior and exterior of the home.
Lever handles for swinging doors are available in a variety of styles and finishes and make operation easier than doors with knobs.
Many of these options meet standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Other options, such as taller bottom rails on doors, are also available to meet these standards. Certain product limitations and modifications may apply. Please contact your local Kolbe dealer for more information.
Window Opening Control Devices (WOCDs) Kolbe offers Window Opening Control Devices (WOCDs) that restrict the size of the open window area to less than 4 inches, and feature a limit releasemechanism to allow for emergency escape. These devices allow the window to latch into place at a predetermined position and automatically re-latch when closed. The WOCDs meet the ASTMF2090-13 requirements. WOCDs can be factory applied to Ultra Series Sterling double hungs, XL Sterling double hungs, and Traditional double hungs, and are available in a Satin Nickel finish. WOCDs may also be field-applied to crank-out and push-out casements.
