Opening a door has never been so easy! The OpenUp app is a tool to open up doors that are equipped with the SmartDoor technology directly from your Smartphone. This technology was designed to promote accessibility and make doors and entrances less cumbersome for many groups of people. The OpenUp app has the added advantage of avoiding unnecessary touching of common surfaces. When you download the app, you have the option of selecting your user type. Please note that if you select “Visually Impaired” you may receive an added auditory cue from the door when it is opening, provided that the door is equipped with speakers.
