Kee Access® Fittings for DDA Handrail
Kee Access® fittings are designed to create safety handrailing that complies with legislation covering disabled access
A cost effective solution
Under the terms of the Equality Act (previous Disability Discrimination Act - DDA), all commercial and public building owners in the UK are obliged to provide non-discriminatory access. The KEE ACCESS range of tubular fittings is designed specifically to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations Part M, British Standard BS 8300 and the Equaility Act.
KEE ACCESS fittings have been designed to give smooth handrail with size 7 tube (outside diameter 42.2mm). All fittings can be powder coated in a choice of RAL colours to meet visibility and `not cold to touch’ requirements of the Building Regulations Part M.
KEE ACCESS is ideal for creating new barriers, but the system can also be used as a retrofit solution, due to its add-on components which allow a new handrail to be added on to an existing railing system.
Kee Access® Features

- Fittted with KEE KOAT corrosion protected grub screws and ThreadKoat® recess protection

Simplicity of Design
KEE ACCESS fittings have been designed to suit BS EN 10255 (ISO 65) steel tubes. Any KEE ACCESS railing system can be easily installed with a hex tool and tube cutters, and is therefore easily assembled without specialised workers or equipment, saving you both time and money. KEE ACCESS is the perfect handrail safety solution compliant with legislation covering disabled access.

DDA handrails at Keighley railway station
KEE ACCESS DDA hand rails have been installed at the Keighley railway station in West Yorkshire providing easy access for disabled to and around the station.
DDA handrails have been powder coated to create the warm to touch hand railing system that meets Equality Act 2010 (previously DDA) requirements and Part M of the Building Regulations. Under the terms of the Equality Act 2010, reasonable adjustments need to be made to public and commercial establishments, including railway stations, to overcome physical barriers which prevent disabled access.
The Building Regulations recommend an outside diameter tube size for installations of between 40mm-45mm. KEE ACCESS tubular fittings are specifically designed to give a smooth handrail with size 7 tube (outside diameter 42.4mm) ensuring compatibility with the regulations.
