TheMaverick HA8LPis our standard-duty low-profile automatic swing door operator and is theideal starting point for the majority of typicalcommercial aluminum glass door applications.
Designed for doors weighing up to300 lbs.,the HA8LP combines commercial-grade construction with a compact4-1/8" x 5-1/8" low-profile operator housing.
The compact profile is especially attractive on aluminum storefront entrances,where the automatic operator is highly visible above the glass door.The smaller housing provides acleaner, streamlined architectural appearancewhile still providing dependable commercial automatic door operation.
For commercial glass entrances requiring additional capacity, theMaverick HA8SP Ultra Heavy Duty Automatic Door Operatorprovides the next step up from the HA8LP.
The HA8SP is designed forhigh-traffic commercial applications and heavier doors weighingup to 550 lbs.
This makes the HA8SP particularly attractive for demanding commercial andinstitutional entrances where traffic volume, door weight or operatingconditions call for an ultra heavy-duty automatic operator.
The Maverick HA8SP is an excellent choice for applications such asschools, hospitals, institutional buildings, government facilities,high-traffic retail entrances and other demanding commercial environments.
Aluminum storefront doors are used throughout commercial buildings becausethey provide a clean appearance, large glass viewing area and durablecommercial entrance system.
Adding acommercial automatic door openercan transform an existing manual storefront door into an automatic entrance.
Depending on the application, a properly configured Maverick operator canbe used with many common commercial aluminum entrance systems.
Typical applications include:
For a single commercial glass door, one Maverick automatic door operatoris used to control the door leaf.
Single-door configurations are available using either theMaverick HA8LPor theMaverick HA8SP,depending on the weight, traffic level and demands of the opening.
The operator can be configured forpush-side / outswingorpull-side / inswingoperation using the appropriate arm assembly.
Have a pair of commercial glass doors that both need to open automatically?We also offerdual / double-door Maverick automatic door operator systems.
A dual system usestwo automatic door operators – one operator for each door leaf.
The two operators can be configured as a coordinated automatic door systemso thatboth doors open automatically when the entrance is activated.
Dual configurations are available using both:
Double-door automatic operation can provide a substantially wider clearopening than automating only one leaf of a pair.
For applications where the automatic operator is mounted on thepush side of the commercial glass door,the Maverick operator uses the appropriate push arm assembly.
When activated, the operator transfers power through the arm topush the door away from the operator and into the open position.
For a double-door outswing application, each door leaf receives its ownoperator and push arm assembly.
Commercial glass doors can also be automated from thepull side of the opening.
For these applications, the Maverick automatic operator uses the appropriatetrack-style pull arm assemblyto pull the door toward the operator during the automatic opening cycle.
Single and dual pull-side configurations are available depending on thecommercial entrance.
Always verify door handing, swing direction and operator mounting sidebefore selecting your automatic door opener configuration.
Automatic swing door operators are commonly used to improve accessibilityat commercial entrances.
The Maverick HA8LP and HA8SP arelow energy automatic swing door operator platformsdesigned for commercial automatic door applications.
The operators can be integrated with compatible activation devices to allowusers to initiate the automatic opening cycle without manually pulling orpushing the commercial glass door open.
Commercial automatic doors can be activated in several different waysdepending on the requirements of the building.
Compatible activation options can include:
If you specifically needhands-free wave-to-open activation,see our dedicatedTouchless Automatic Door Openerscategory for Maverick HA8LP touchless automatic door opener packages.
An automatic door operator can do more than simply open a door.The Maverick platform can also be incorporated into compatiblecommercial access control systems.
The operator can receive an activation signal from compatible devices such as:
This allows a commercial glass entrance to combineautomatic opening with controlled building access.
If a commercial glass door is normally locked, the locking hardware mustbe coordinated with the automatic door operator.
Depending on the door hardware and application, Maverick automatic operatorscan be integrated with compatibleelectric strikes and magnetic locks.
When properly configured, the automatic door system can signal the electriclock to release before the operator begins opening the door.
This allows a pedestrian to activate an authorized automatic opening cyclewithout manually unlocking the door first.
Many exterior aluminum storefront doors usepanic bars / exit devicesrather than standard lever hardware.
Automatic operation can still be incorporated into compatible panic hardwareapplications when the complete door and locking system is properly configured.
Depending on the opening, solutions may include:
Selecting the correct locking configuration is important so the door isreleased before the automatic operator attempts to open it.
You do not necessarily need to replace an entire storefront entrance toadd automatic operation.
Many existing commercial aluminum glass doors can be candidates for anautomatic door operator retrofitwhen the existing door, frame, pivots, hinges and associated hardware arein suitable operating condition.
This can make a Maverick automatic door opener an excellent solution forupgrading an existing manual entrance.
Before installing an automatic operator, the existing door should operateproperly manually and should not bind, drag, sag or have damaged pivots,hinges or other mechanical hardware.
Both Maverick platforms are designed specifically for commercial automaticdoor applications.
