ATEK Access Technologies LLC has released the Larco CopperShield push plate, an automatic door activation switch made from CuVerro bactericidal copper. CopperShield push plates help inhibit build-up and growth of bacteria between routine cleaning and sanitizing, and continuously kill bacteria. They are offered in 4.5-inch and 6-inch square sizes, and feature a handicap logo and “press to open” engraving on 18-gauge brushed copper alloy. The push plates can be mounted directly into electrical or universal mounting boxes, and can be hardwired or connected wirelessly to the door.
