Automatic Door and Hardware offers professional-grade automaticswing door solutions for businesses, hospitals, schools, government facilities,offices, retail buildings, industrial facilities, and other commercial entrances.
A manually operated commercial door can create a significant obstacle for a wheelchairuser or anyone with limited strength, reach, balance, or mobility. Commercial doorscan be heavy, and maneuvering through a doorway while simultaneously pushing or pullingthe door can be difficult for many users.
An ADA automatic door opener provides powered door operation so theuser can activate the entrance without manually controlling the full opening motionof the door.
When paired with properly located handicap push buttons, touchless switches, or otherappropriate activation devices, an automatic swing door operator can become an importantpart of a more accessible commercial entrance.
An ADA door opener, commonly referred to as a handicap door opener,automatic handicap door operator, or low-energy automatic swing door operator, providespowered operation of a compatible swinging commercial door.
The automatic operator is typically mounted above the doorway and connected to thedoor through a push or pull arm assembly. When an appropriate activation device ispressed or triggered, the operator automatically opens the door.
The door remains open for a programmed period and then returns toward the closedposition under controlled operation.
These systems are commonly installed to improve access for:
A commercial automatic door opener can provide a straightforward method of enteringor exiting a building without manually opening the door.
With activation devices installed on both sides of the opening, automatic operationcan be provided for users entering or exiting the building.
Commercial accessibility applications require equipment designed for commercial doors.A commercial entrance may experience significantly more traffic, door weight, windload, stack pressure, and daily use than a residential or light-duty opening.
Automatic Door and Hardware offers commercial automatic swing door operators forstandard-duty, heavy-duty, and high-traffic applications.
Our automatic door opener systems can be configured for many compatible commercialdoor types, including:
Our Maverick automatic swing door operator family provides commercial low-energyautomatic door solutions for a wide range of accessibility applications.
The Maverick HA8LP is our low-profile standard-duty commercialautomatic swing door operator and is designed for the majority of typical commercialaccessibility applications.
For heavier commercial doors and demanding high-traffic entrances, theMaverick HA8SP provides an ultra-heavy-duty automatic door operatorplatform.
Automatic door operators are commonly installed as part of commercial accessibilityupgrades because they reduce or eliminate the need for a user to manually operate thedoor during an automatic opening cycle.
However, an automatic operator is only one component of an accessible doorway. Thecomplete opening must be designed and installed with the applicable accessibilityrequirements in mind.
Depending on the project, considerations can include:
Commercial handicap door openers are commonly designed aslow-energy automatic swing door operators. ANSI/BHMA A156.19 addressespower-assist and low-energy power-operated doors.
Low-energy automatic doors are frequently activated through a knowing-act device suchas a handicap push plate, push button, or appropriate touchless activation device.
Always select and configure the automatic door operator, activation equipment, safetyequipment, and complete opening for the requirements applicable to the project.
Different commercial buildings require different activation methods. Our ADA dooropener packages are available with several types of activation equipment.
Wireless handicap push buttons are an excellent option for existing buildings andretrofit applications. A wireless transmitter installed with the push plate sends theactivation command to a receiver connected to the automatic door operator.
Wireless activation can reduce the need to route activation wiring from each pushbutton back to the operator.
Hardwired handicap buttons provide a direct wired connection between the accessibilitybutton and automatic door operator. They are an excellent choice for new construction,renovations, and permanent commercial installations where control wiring can be routedto the activation locations.
Hardwired activation does not require wireless transmitters, transmitter batteries,or a wireless receiver.
Touchless activation devices allow users to activate compatible automatic door systemswithout physically pressing a traditional push plate. These systems are popular inhealthcare, restroom, office, and other commercial applications where touch-freeactivation is desired.
For a wheelchair user, opening a commercial door can require reaching for the hardware,applying opening force, controlling the door, and maneuvering the wheelchair throughthe doorway at the same time.
An automatic door opener can reduce this challenge by allowing the user to activatethe entrance before moving through the opening.
Wireless or hardwired handicap buttons can be positioned at appropriate locations oneach side of the opening so wheelchair users and other individuals with limited mobilitycan activate the automatic door before approaching the swing path.
Automatic Door and Hardware offers automatic door opener packages for bothsingle commercial doors and pairs of double doors.
Single-door operators provide automatic operation for one compatible commercial swingdoor and are commonly used at office entrances, commercial restrooms, medical facilities,retail stores, schools, and other commercial openings.
Dual automatic door operators automate a compatible pair of commercial swing doors.Automatic operation of a door pair can provide a wider accessible entrance and can beespecially useful for wheelchair users, medical facilities, institutional buildings,and other high-use commercial applications.
Commercial accessibility projects in California can have additional activation-devicerequirements. We offer dedicated California automatic door opener packagesconfigured with tall activation switches for applications where the project requiresthat configuration.
California contractors, building owners, and facility managers should select theautomatic door operator and activation package appropriate for the applicable CaliforniaBuilding Code requirements and project specifications.
A commercial automatic door operator cannot open a mechanically locked door until thelocking hardware has been released.
Many Maverick automatic door operator configurations provide integration capabilityfor compatible electrified locking hardware, including:
This makes it possible to coordinate automatic unlocking with automatic door operationwhen required by the application.
Commercial automatic handicap door openers can be installed at compatible openingsthroughout:
In many applications, a compatible existing commercial door and frame can remain inplace when adding automatic operation. A surface-mounted automatic swing door operatorcan be installed above the existing opening and connected to the door using theappropriate arm assembly.
The installer can then add the appropriate handicap buttons, touchless sensors,electric locking hardware, safety equipment, or access control components requiredfor the application.
This makes automatic door conversion an excellent option for existing buildingsundergoing accessibility upgrades.
