	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Ellison Bronze, Inc.; Stainless Steel, Bronze, Aluminum, Glass and Wood Balanced Entrance Door products. . This section is based on the products of Ellison Bronze, Inc., which is located at: 125 W. Main St. Falconer, NY 14733 Toll Free Tel: 800-665-6445 Tel: 716-665-6522 Email: request info Web: www.ellisonbronze.com [ Click Here ] for additional information. In 1928, Ellison invented the balanced entrance door, and the Ellison Balanced Door continues to be the easiest-to-open of any door available. It is designed specifically to overcome the effects of heavy wind loads and stack pressure of a typical building entrance. The Ellison Balanced door requires no mechanical opener or other device for assistance. Fabricated to the highest quality and aesthetic standard, Ellison entrance doors are equipped with dependable rugged closers and checks, which are manufactured at Ellison. The Ellison Balanced entrance door is easy to open, extremely rugged and durable, saves space, permits the use of large or heavy doors, and has a headache-free checking system permitting fast maintenance. In addition, Ellison Balance entrance doors meet minimum A.D.A. specifications without the use of power door operators. Concealed overhead power operation is available if required.
