The latest technology is taking over traditional doors and paving the way for automatic ones. In this blog post, we dive deep into the new technology behind automatic doors and how they are changing our lives for better convenience and safety. So buckle up and get ready to discover a whole new world of automated entrances.

Automatic Doors Installation

The technology behind automatic doors is constantly evolving to provide greater security, efficiency, and accessibility for users. Automatic doors are now available with a variety of features that can be customized to meet the needs of any business or facility.

Some of the latest innovations in automatic door technology include:

1. Motion sensors that can detect when someone is approaching the door and trigger it to open automatically. This eliminates the need for users to push a button or pull on the door handle, making it more convenient and accessible for everyone.

2. Radar-based sensors can detect obstacles in the path of the door, preventing it from closing on someone or something. This is an important safety feature that can help prevent accidents and injuries.

3. Automatic locking systems that engage when the door is closed, provide an extra layer of security. This is ideal for businesses that want to deter crime or unauthorized access after hours.

4. Remote control systems allow authorized users to open and close the door from a distance using a key fob or smartphone app. This is perfect for businesses that need to control access to their premises remotely.

Types of Automatic Doors

Automatic doors are a great way to improve accessibility and make life easier for everyone. If you’re looking for a way to make your business more accessible, consider installing an automatic door. There are three types of automatic doors.

Swing Doors

Swing doors are the most common type of automatic door. They open and close like a regular door, but use sensors to detect when someone is approaching, and open automatically. 

Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are becoming more popular in recent years. They work similarly to swing doors but slide open instead of swinging open.

Revolving Doors

Revolving doors are less common, but can be found in some high-end buildings or hotels. They consist of several sets of doors that rotate around a central axis, allowing people to enter and exit without having to wait for the door to fully open or close.

How Automatic Sliding Doors Fit Any Space?

There are a few things to consider when selecting an automatic door for your space. The first is the door’s size and weight. Automatic doors come in a range of sizes and weights, so it’s important to choose one that will fit your door frame and handle the weight of your door.

The next thing to consider is the door’s opening speed. You’ll want to make sure the door opens fast enough to let people through without hesitation, but not so fast that it poses a safety risk. The opening speed can be adjusted on most automatic doors, so you can find the perfect setting for your space.

Finally, you’ll need to decide what type of power source you want for your automatic door. Most doors run on electricity, but there are also battery-powered and solar-powered options available. Choose the power source that best fits your needs and budget.

Benefits of Automatic Doors

There are many benefits to automatic doors, both for businesses and consumers. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is the convenience factor – no more fumbling around with keys or heavy doors! Automatic doors also help to create a more inviting and welcoming environment, as they often give the impression of a grand entrance.

In terms of security, automatic doors can actually be quite beneficial as they can be equipped with various safety features such as sensors that prevent them from closing if someone is in the way. This can help to prevent serious injuries (or even fatalities).

From a business perspective, automatic doors can help to improve efficiency and throughput as people can move in and out of a building much more quickly. This is especially beneficial in high-traffic areas such as shopping centers or airports. Automatic doors can also help to reduce energy costs as they minimize heat loss (in winter) or heat gain (in summer).
