Swing Door Operators: The Automatic Solution for Your Business

Customer experience starts at the door. An entrance that's easy for everyone to use, including people with mobility challenges, parents with strollers and customers with their hands full, makes your business more welcoming. Automatic swing door operators are one of the simplest ways to get there.

What Is a Swing Door Operator?

A swing door operator is a device that opens and closes a hinged door automatically. It has three main parts:

• A motor that moves the door
• A control unit that sets the speed, force and hold-open time
• An activation device: a push plate, wave sensor, motion sensor, key switch or wireless button

Low-energy operators open slowly with limited force and are the usual choice for accessible entrances. Full-power operators open quickly for busy entrances and use safety sensors to protect people in the door's path.

Benefits

1. Accessibility: people with disabilities or limited mobility can come and go independently, and your entrance can meet the accessibility requirements of the BC Building Code.
2. Convenience: customers carrying bags, boxes or children don't have to wrestle with a heavy door.
3. Hygiene: fewer hands touch the door, which customers in clinics, restaurants and food stores appreciate.
4. Comfort and efficiency: the door closes promptly after each person, so it isn't propped open, letting heat out and rain in.

Why Choose a Swing Door Operator?

1. Reliable, commercial-grade components built for heavy daily use.
2. Usually retrofits onto your existing door and frame, so you don't need a new door.
3. Adjustable opening speed, force and hold-open time for comfort and safety.
4. Low maintenance, with a yearly check to keep it adjusted and safe.
