Fire and electrical failure often occur simultaneously. Open Sesame, with its battery back-up, allows you to get in and out when you desire it most. It does not close the door with a spring mechanism as do most other systems. The door closes under power, at your command, allowing the door to be left open indefinitely if you so desire, or even to be left ajar. This is a real advantage when one is transporting groceries or caring for children.
Many people use it for letting their pets in and out.
People confined to wheelchairs or beds cannot usually operate windows, but this system allows them some control of ventilation and room temperature. Provided with the Open Sesame Door System is a small match box sized device with a special pressure pad on the face that is extremely easy to activate. You can use fingers, palms, the side of a hand, arm, or even chin to sponsor the opening of the door. The transmitter is easy to attach to the wheelchair with the included velcro fasteners. The Open Sesame System can be customized with a range of activation devices.
