*Commercial Door Not Included. Automatic Door Opener Only.
Already have a commercial hollow metal door with rim panic hardware and need to make it automatic without leaving the panic bar permanently dogged down? The Maverick HA8SP Automatic Door Opener Package with Rim Electric Strike provides the automatic operator, wireless handicap activation components and electric strike needed to convert a compatible existing hollow metal swing door into an automatic accessible entrance.
This package is specifically designed for hollow metal doors that already use a compatible rim panic bar / exit device. A latched panic device normally prevents an automatic door operator from opening the door until the latch has been released.
The included rim electric strike solves that problem by electronically releasing the existing panic hardware latch before the Maverick HA8SP begins opening the door.
This allows the panic hardware to remain latched when the door is closed while still providing automatic unlocking each time automatic door operation is activated.
At the heart of the package is the Maverick HA8SP Ultra Heavy Duty Automatic Door Operator, designed for high-traffic commercial applications, demanding openings and doors weighing up to 550 lbs.
Important: This is an automatic door opener retrofit package. The hollow metal door, hollow metal frame and panic bar / exit device are not included. The rim electric strike, Maverick HA8SP operator and wireless handicap activation components are included as described below.
This package provides the automatic door and electronic release components needed to add automatic operation to a compatible existing hollow metal door equipped with rim panic hardware.
Not Included: Hollow metal door, hollow metal frame, panic bar / exit device, hinges, pivots or other commercial door hardware unless specifically stated otherwise.
If your existing hollow metal door already has compatible rim panic hardware, you may not need to replace the door or modify the panic bar itself just to add automatic operation.
The existing panic device remains part of the opening.
The included rim electric strike provides the electronic release point at the frame. When automatic access is requested, the electric strike releases the existing panic latch before the Maverick HA8SP begins opening the door.
This allows the panic hardware to remain mechanically functional while adding automatic accessibility and electronic unlocking.
A rim panic device is designed to positively latch the door into the frame when the door is closed.
That creates an important challenge when an automatic operator is added: the HA8SP cannot open the door while the panic latch remains engaged.
The door must be electronically released before the automatic opening cycle begins.
The included rim electric strike provides the electronic release required for automatic operation.
Rather than electrically retracting or modifying the panic bar itself, the rim electric strike releases the point where compatible rim panic hardware normally latches into the frame.
When the automatic door system is activated, the electric strike releases first. The Maverick HA8SP can then begin opening the door.
After the door closes, the existing panic device can return to its normal latched condition.
This is the primary advantage of this package.
Unlike a doggable panic bar application, the existing panic device does not have to remain mechanically dogged and unlatched during periods of automatic operation.
Instead:
The panic hardware remains latched. The rim electric strike releases when automatic access is requested. The Maverick HA8SP opens the door. After closing, the panic hardware can latch again.
This gives the opening both automatic accessibility and a normally latched panic exit device.
The result is a coordinated retrofit system combining automatic accessibility, existing panic hardware and electronic unlocking.
Hollow metal doors with panic hardware are commonly installed in demanding commercial and institutional buildings where durability and high-use performance matter.
The Maverick HA8SP is designed for applications where a standard-duty automatic door opener may not provide the power, durability or long-term performance required.
Its heavy-duty electromechanical drive system, high-precision commercial gearing, cast aluminum closed gearbox and 1/8 HP motor make the HA8SP an excellent solution for frequently operated hollow metal doors.
The Maverick HA8SP is a standard-profile low energy automatic swing door operator engineered for sustained use in demanding commercial environments.
Its commercial-grade electromechanical drive system combines high-precision gears with a cast aluminum closed gearbox to provide dependable operation on heavy and frequently used doors.
The HA8SP is designed for doors weighing up to 550 lbs. and includes adjustable spring tension to help accommodate demanding conditions such as wind pressure and building stack effect.

The panic bar / exit device is not included with this package.
This package is intended for a compatible existing hollow metal door that already has rim panic hardware installed, or where compatible panic hardware will be supplied separately.
From the egress side of the opening, occupants can continue to push the existing panic bar to retract the latch and exit through the door.
During automatic operation, the panic bar itself does not need to be manually depressed. The included rim electric strike electronically releases the existing latch so the HA8SP can automatically open the door.
Unlike the hollow metal door and panic device, the rim electric strike is included with this automatic door opener package.
The strike is designed for use with compatible rim panic hardware and provides the electronic release required for automatic door operation.
When the automatic opening sequence begins, the strike releases the existing rim panic latch before the HA8SP attempts to move the door.
This is what allows an existing positively latched panic door to function as a coordinated automatic entrance without leaving the panic hardware permanently dogged.
Proper timing is critical when combining an automatic operator with electric locking hardware.
The locking hardware must release before the automatic operator begins trying to move the door.
The Maverick HA8SP includes an electric lock interface that allows the opening cycle to be coordinated with compatible electric locking hardware.
When properly configured, the included rim electric strike releases first and the HA8SP then begins its automatic opening cycle.
This package includes two handicap push buttons, allowing automatic activation from both sides of the opening.
Each handicap button uses a compatible 433 MHz wireless transmitter. When either button is pressed, the transmitter sends an activation signal to the included 433 MHz receiver.
Running control wiring from handicap push buttons back to the automatic operator can be difficult in an existing commercial building.
The included wireless activation system allows the handicap push buttons to communicate wirelessly with the receiver, reducing the amount of activation wiring that needs to be routed through masonry, finished drywall or other existing construction.
This package is designed to solve three problems at the same existing opening:
Automatic accessibility, panic egress and electronic latch release.
Occupants can continue to use the existing panic bar for manual egress while automatic activation can release the included rim electric strike and allow the HA8SP to open the door.
The same electronic release concept may also be useful when the existing opening needs to integrate with a compatible building access control system.
Depending on the project and overall system design, the electric strike and automatic operator can be coordinated with devices such as:
The Maverick HA8SP can be configured for both push-side and pull-side hollow metal door applications.
Push-side installations accommodate reveals from approximately 0 to 14 inches, while pull-side installations accommodate reveals up to approximately 4 inches.
Correct handing and operator configuration should be selected when ordering.
The correct Maverick HA8SP retrofit package depends primarily on how your existing panic hardware needs to operate.
If your existing hollow metal door, frame and compatible rim panic hardware are in good condition, you may only need the components required to make the opening automatic.
This package provides the Maverick HA8SP Ultra Heavy Duty Automatic Door Operator, compatible rim electric strike, two wireless handicap push buttons, two 433 MHz transmitters and one wireless receiver.
You keep your existing hollow metal door, frame and compatible panic hardware while adding automatic opening and electronic latch release.
