Falcon Automatic Door Openers provide a compact and dependable solution for commercial facilities that need convenient automatic door operation and improved accessibility. The Falcon 8200 Series Automatic Door Operator combines intelligent electronic controls, mechanical door closer operation and a streamlined architectural design for use on commercial swing doors.
Designed for applications where ease of use is critical, Falcon automatic door operators are well suited for assisted living facilities, ambulatory care, hospitality properties, retail stores, restaurants, small offices and other commercial buildings. The 8200 Series can be configured for both push-side and pull-side applications and integrated with activation devices and electrified locking hardware to create a complete automatic entrance.
At the center of the Falcon automatic door opener line is the Falcon 8200 Series. Its compact footprint makes it an attractive option for facilities that want automatic accessibility without installing an unnecessarily large operator header above the door.
Inside the operator is a non-handed motor gearbox, intelligent controller and mechanical closing system. Falcon's one-piece mounting bracket incorporates fastening notches to reduce components and help simplify installation.
The steel aluminum-finished cover provides a clean appearance suitable for professional commercial interiors while protecting the internal motor, gearbox and electronic controls.
Falcon offers the 8200 Series for the two primary surface-mounted automatic swing door configurations. Selecting the correct configuration depends on which side of the door the operator is mounted and the direction in which the door swings.

Always verify the door handing, swing direction and mounting requirements before selecting an automatic door operator.
Falcon SmartLatch technology senses external pressure conditions and provides graduated energy assistance to help the door achieve secure latching.
When used with a compatible electrified opening, pre-load strike assist helps remove pressure from the strike lip. A one-second delay allows the locking device to release before the automatic opening cycle begins.
The selectable Push 'n' Go function allows the operator to initiate an automatic opening cycle after pressure is applied to the door, providing another convenient method of operation.
The Falcon 8200 automatically establishes the opening position and detects obstructions, helping reduce the possibility of damage to the door or adjacent wall.
LED illumination on the control box assists installers with setup and connection diagnostics, making configuration and troubleshooting easier.
An automatic door operator is only one part of a complete accessible entrance. Falcon 8200 installations can be configured with compatible activation and control accessories based on the requirements of the opening.
Available automatic door activation solutions may include:
This flexibility allows a Falcon automatic door system to be configured around the accessibility and operational requirements of the facility.
The Falcon 8200 Series can also be integrated into compatible electrified commercial door openings. When an automatic door must remain mechanically secured until an authorized activation occurs, an electric strike can be incorporated into the system.
When the automatic door system is activated, the controller can interface with compatible locking hardware so the lock releases before the door begins its automatic opening cycle.
Depending on the commercial door hardware installed, configurations may include:
