A standard automatic door opener may be all that is required for a basic handicap push-button application. More complex commercial entrances, however, often require the automatic operator to communicate with additional door hardware. The door may need to unlock before opening, interface with a card reader, operate with electrified panic hardware, or use a specially sized header to properly fit the opening.

Our Maverick automatic door openers can be configured for these applications, giving contractors, facility managers, building owners, integrators, and commercial door professionals a more complete solution for challenging automatic swing door openings.

Automatic Door Openers Built Around Your Application

The automatic operator is only one component of a complete automatic door system. The door itself, frame, existing hardware, locking requirements, activation method, access control equipment, door width, and mounting conditions all affect how the finished system should operate.

Instead of trying to make every opening fit one standard configuration, our custom Maverick systems can be configured to accommodate the requirements of the individual commercial door opening.

Automatic Door Opener & Electric Lock Integration

One of the most important considerations with an access-controlled automatic door is the sequence of operation. If a door is locked, the locking hardware must release at the appropriate time before the automatic operator attempts to open the door.

Maverick automatic swing door openers can be configured for applications requiring automatic unlocking and powered door operation. Depending on the opening and hardware being used, a custom system may incorporate:

• Electric strikes
• Rim electric strikes
• Magnetic locks
• Electrified panic bars and exit devices
• Electrified cylindrical locking hardware
• Card readers
• Keypads
• Access control systems
• Handicap push buttons and push plates
• Touchless activation devices
• Remote activation devices

Automatic Door Openers With Card Readers & Access Control

Automatic swing doors are frequently used at secured employee entrances, healthcare facilities, offices, schools, warehouses, government facilities, and other buildings where accessibility and controlled entry are both required.

In these applications, a card reader or other credential device can be part of the activation sequence. Once an authorized credential is accepted, the locking hardware can release and the automatic door operator can receive the appropriate activation signal.

This allows an entrance to combine automatic operation, accessibility, and access control rather than treating each system as an unrelated component.

Electric Strike Automatic Door Systems

Electric strikes are commonly used when an automatic swing door also needs controlled locking. Depending on the existing door hardware, an electric strike can release the latch so the Maverick operator can automatically open the door.

Different strike configurations are available for different types of commercial door hardware. The correct system depends on the door, frame, latch or exit device, fire-rating requirements when applicable, and desired sequence of operation.

Magnetic Lock Integration

Custom automatic door systems can also be designed around compatible electromagnetic locking hardware. These applications require careful consideration of the complete locking and release arrangement, including applicable access control, egress, fire/life-safety, and local code requirements.

When magnetic locking hardware is required, the automatic operator is configured as one component of the complete door and access control system.

Automatic Door Openers With Electrified Panic Hardware

Commercial doors equipped with panic bars or exit devices may require a different automatic unlocking solution. Depending on the hardware and application, the system can be designed around compatible electrified panic hardware or electric strike configurations.

This provides a solution for commercial entrances that need to maintain exit hardware while also incorporating automatic operation and controlled entry.

Custom Length Automatic Door Opener Headers

Commercial door openings come in many different widths, and the standard operator header length is not always the best match for the opening. We can provide custom-length Maverick automatic door opener headers for applications requiring a different overall header size.

Custom sizing can provide a cleaner, more professional installation by allowing the automatic operator header to better correspond with the width and configuration of the commercial door opening.

Custom Systems for Commercial Swing Doors

Maverick automatic door opener systems can be configured for many common commercial swing door applications, including:

• Commercial hollow metal steel doors
• Aluminum storefront glass doors
• Commercial solid core wood doors
• Interior commercial doors
• Exterior commercial entrances
• Single swing doors
• Pairs of doors and double door openings
• Push-side automatic operator installations
• Pull-side automatic operator installations
• Secured and access-controlled entrances

What Information Do We Need for a Custom Automatic Door Opener?

Providing information about your existing opening helps determine the appropriate operator, header, arm, locking hardware, and control configuration.

Door handing, opening direction, frame dimensions, available mounting space, and photographs of the existing opening can also be helpful when determining the proper configuration.
