An automatic door opener is a mechanism that detects motion and automatically opens and closes a door as needed. It is an easy-access, simple-to-operate system for an interior or exterior door of any type of commercial or industrial business.

Most people are aware of the concept of an automatic door opener because they experience them daily as they travel with ease in and out of a business. Often a customer’s first impression of a business is how they feel when they walk through the front door. Automatic doors are increasingly becoming the focus of customer-based businesses. There are several benefits to adding an automatic door opener to your business that you should consider.

They Save You Energy

Entryways in general are a passageway to lose heat during the winter or cold air during the summer. Since the automatic door opener will only work when triggered and then automatically close, they work to make sure the door closes after the customer has passed through the door. This ensures doors are not left open, preventing air from escaping and dust from entering.

Customers Prefer Them

According to a study completed by the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM), 98.9% of customers prefer an automatic door over a manual door due to their hassle-free convenience. Automatic doors give your business a higher level of service for your customers. An overwhelming majority of customers enjoy the benefits that an automatic door offers them.

They are Easily Accessible

There are those that have difficulties opening manual doors, especially those with canes, walkers, or wheelchairs. For individuals that have difficulty, it could a very real struggle to get the door open. An automatic door can be automatically triggered to open when it detects a person’s presence or activates a switch. This eliminates the many accessibility barriers.

They are Hygienic

Automatic doors are beneficial because they operate without the use of hands, preventing the spread of germs. This is especially helpful in facilities that require a higher level of sanitation, like hospitals or laboratories.

They are Safe

If a customer does not come in contact with the door there is lesser of a likelihood for injury to those passing through it. All automatic doors have decals stating they are automatic, so a person will know as they walk up to the door, it will open automatically for them.
