Low energy automatic door openers provide convenient, accessible automatic operation for commercial swing doors while allowing the door to remain easy to use manually. Automatic Door and Hardware offers low energy automatic swing door operators for a wide range of commercial, institutional, healthcare, retail, office, and public-access applications.
Whether you are adding automatic operation to an existing entrance or designing a new accessible opening, our low energy automatic door opener selection provides solutions for a variety of door sizes, weights, traffic requirements, mounting conditions, and hardware configurations.
Low energy operators are commonly activated using a wall-mounted handicap push button, wireless push plate, touchless activation device, access control system, or other compatible activation device. Once activated, the operator automatically opens the swing door, holds it open for a programmed period, and then allows the door to close in a controlled manner.
A low energy automatic door opener is a powered swing door operator designed to automatically open a door at controlled speeds and forces. Unlike conventional high-energy automatic pedestrian doors, low energy systems are commonly used in applications where the door is activated by a knowing act, such as pressing a handicap push button or activating another intentional control.
These systems are particularly useful because the same door can typically be used both automatically and manually. A pedestrian can press the activation button for automatic operation, while other users can simply open the door by hand.
Provides automatic door operation for users who may have difficulty opening a commercial door manually.
Opening speed, closing speed, hold-open time, and other operating parameters can be configured according to the operator and application.
Allows automatic activation when needed while maintaining convenient manual operation for everyday pedestrian traffic.
Many low energy operators can be installed on existing commercial swing doors, making them an excellent option for accessibility upgrades.
Low energy automatic door openers are used throughout commercial and institutional buildings where convenient, accessible pedestrian entry is required.
Choosing the correct low energy operator depends on more than just the width of the door. Door construction, door weight, handing, opening direction, frame configuration, traffic volume, and existing hardware should all be considered.
Our low energy automatic door opener systems can be configured for many common commercial swing door applications, including:
One of the most common ways to activate a low energy automatic door opener is with a handicap push button. Depending on the system, activation devices may be hardwired or wireless and can be positioned on one or both sides of the opening.
Compatible activation options can include:
Low energy automatic operators can also be integrated with compatible electric locking hardware. This allows the door system to unlock before the automatic operator begins opening the door.
Depending on the door and existing hardware, automatic unlocking configurations may incorporate components such as electric strikes, rim electric strikes, electrified locking hardware, access control equipment, and operator lock outputs.
This is especially useful for secured entrances where the door must remain locked while still providing automatic operation to authorized users.
Automatic Door and Hardware offers Maverick low energy automatic swing door operators for applications ranging from standard commercial entrances to demanding high-traffic and heavier-door installations.
Maverick systems are available in multiple configurations so the operator can be matched to the door, mounting condition, traffic requirements, and application instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.
Low energy operators are available for both single door and double door applications. A single operator controls one swing door, while dual operator systems can provide automatic operation for pairs of doors.
Double door systems may require coordinated controls and additional hardware depending on the opening configuration. This is especially important when electric locking hardware, panic hardware, overlapping doors, or other specialized hardware is involved.
Low energy automatic door operators are commonly used as part of accessible commercial entrances. Applicable automatic door systems should be selected, installed, adjusted, and maintained according to the requirements of the specific installation and applicable codes and standards.
Many commercial low energy swing operators are designed for applications governed by ANSI/BHMA A156.19, the standard addressing power assist and low energy power operated doors. ADA accessibility requirements, local building codes, fire and life-safety requirements, and the complete door opening must also be considered when determining the appropriate equipment for an installation.
Before selecting an operator, identify the specifications of the existing or new door opening. Important factors include:
