PILOT PROGRAM 2020
HERE'S THE FULL SCOOP
Here we have laid out exactly what our team WILL and WILL NOT be doing during the pilot. Your daily business operations and the privacy of your customers are of the utmost importance to us which is why we have done our best to make this a completely non-invasive process. This information can also be found in the downloadable Pilot Brochure below.
- Provide ample notice before each pilot day and for scheduling thereafter.
- Setup the PullGuard before business hours and retrieve it after hours.
- Discretely mount a motion-activated GoPro Camera in the door’s vicinity.
- Install a removable sticker above the handle for instructional purposes.
- Promote your businesses involvement in the PullGuards™ Pilot Program
- Share any non-public video footage (i.e. strictly internal use).
- Collect personally identifiable information without explicit consent.
- Hold you liable for any injury or for any lost, damaged, or stolen equipment.
- Ask you to do anything what-so-ever. No effort, no liability, no commitment!
- Interfere with your daily business activities or customers.

FOOTAGE LIKE THIS
This is an example of the exact footage we are capturing during the pilot. We make every effort to narrow the camera’s line of sight and capture only what we absolutely need to. Motion Detection triggers the camera’s shutter, which efficiently limits recordings to 1 – 2 seconds before each user interaction and 2 – 3 seconds after. No live streaming and no continuous recording of imagery or audio.

WHY IT MATTERS
Although the hygienic advantages and superior functionality of the PullGuards™ product line may sound like a no-brainer, the real magic is overcoming society’s deeply rooted instinctive nature to reach for the handle. On average, this equates to a 0.6sec window for the user to understand what the device is, how it works, and if they want to use it. No matter how good a product may function, its long-term effectiveness and adoptability is limited by how well we are able to understand our audience, their attention graph, and their needs. The observational data from these pilots provides us with the critical data we need to engineer the product for the highest engagement rate possible.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cost me anything? What's the catch?
We promise, there is NO catch, NO cost, NOTHING. The intention of the pilot is to test the effectiveness of the product before the official launch, not lure you into a financial trap or something…
Is PullGuards a registered company?
Yes! PullGuards™ is a registered and insured Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the state of Connecticut.
Will my door still be ADA compliant?
Our devices do not infringe on ADA code requirements, so you will not have any issues with code compliance.
For reference, please see section 404.2.7 of the ADA Standards. Handle and other hardware also falls under the “operable parts” (section 309.4). (Source)
Can the PullGuard damage my door?
Zero chance of damage! All material contacting the surface of the door is smooth, non-abrasive, and cannot be compromised by the elements.
Will the instructional sticker leave any residue?
What if we notice that your equipment has been stolen?
No worries! The camera streams all live footage to our server over cellular. We also have GPS tracking on all equipment during the pilot. If a camera is stolen, the gyroscope and accelerometer built into the inertial measurement unit (IMU) will trigger a displacement alert via SMS (text) and email notifying our team of the incident. At which point, we will render the camera completely useless and turn the footage over to the authorities.
If, by chance, someone with superhuman powers that allow them to move the camera without triggering the internal gyroscope tries to steal the equipment, the GPS will trigger the same alert once they move the camera +/-20′ radius from its installed location.
The point being, whatever happens, it is not your fault nor responsibility!
Will it inconvenience customers that prefer not to use it?
Not at all. Our device provides the ‘choice’ to open the door with their arm but it does not limit them from using their hand to pull the handle and open the door.
Where else are you piloting and have there been any issues?
PullGuards™ has numerous actively monitored pilot locations and we are happy to provide references upon request. We will also be updating our social media to promote each company that has so graciously allowed us to pilot.
We have not encountered any issues or held a pilot that resulted in damages of any kind (physical or material).
Still have a question? Just email us!
