An automatic door operator adds push-button or wave-to-open power to an existing swing door, making an entrance accessible to people using wheelchairs, walkers or strollers. We install operators with compatible locks and strikes so the door is accessible during the day and secure at night.
When to call us
- Your entrance is difficult for people with mobility devices.
- You are renovating to improve accessibility.
- Your existing operator is unreliable.
- You need the accessible door to lock after hours.
How the job works
- We assess the door, frame, power and traffic.
- An operator and actuators are specified.
- The operator is installed with compatible locking hardware.
- Opening force, speed and hold-open time are set.
- The door is tested with users and locking schedule.
Planning an accessible entrance
A low-energy door operator opens a swing door slowly enough to be safe for people standing nearby, and is activated by a push button or touchless sensor. Placement of the actuators matters: a user should be able to press the button and move through the door without being struck by it or having to reverse a wheelchair.
The operator must also work with the door's locking hardware. During business hours the door opens automatically; after hours, an electric strike or locking exit device secures it. Planning both together avoids an accessible door that cannot be locked, or a locked door that defeats the operator.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Operator type.
- Power and wiring.
- Locking integration.
- Actuator placement.
