What Are Automatic Doors?
Automatic doors are mechanized entry systems that open and close without the need for manual operation. Using sensors, motion detectors, access control systems, or push plates, automatic doors provide hands-free, seamless entry—improving convenience, safety, and ADA accessibility.
They are widely used in high-traffic environments and are engineered for durability, reliability, and efficient flow of people throughout a building.
Types of Automatic Doors

• Available as full-powered or low-energy ADA-compliant systems

What Is the Purpose of Automatic Doors?
Automatic doors serve several important functions in today’s built environment:
• ADA Accessibility: Ensures barrier-free entry for all individuals
• Improved Safety: Reduces physical contact and prevents door-related injuries
• Energy Efficiency: Minimizes heat or cooling loss compared to manual doors
• Convenience: Offers smooth, hands-free operation in busy spaces
• Traffic Flow: Manages large volumes of people efficiently
• Hygiene: Ideal for healthcare, food service, and sanitary environments
From retail stores to hospitals, automatic doors help create welcoming, safe, and efficient entrances that meet modern standards.

Wherever convenience, accessibility, and traffic flow matter, automatic doors deliver.
Are Automatic Doors Used in Residential Spaces?
Absolutely, automatic doors are no longer limited to commercial settings. We increasingly see homeowners and residential building owners requesting automatic door solutions for:
• Luxury homes
• Private entrances
• Accessibility needs
• Home elevators and interior transitions
• High-end residential buildings and lobbies
While automatic doors are less common in single family homes, they can still be extremely beneficial especially for individuals with mobility challenges, homeowners looking for convenient hands free entry solutions, and designers seeking to incorporate modern, high end architectural features into residential spaces.
