Automatic Door Openers, The Perfect Solution for Your Entryway

Accessibility to public places should be a priority for any store or business owner. Older ones and those with limited mobility are incredibly grateful for such efforts.

In Québec, automatic door openers are now mandatory in all new construction for public offices to make our cities more accessible to all.

What Is an Automatic Door Opener?

As the name suggests, an automatic door opener opens doors. There are several models for different types of doors. Many have a variety of finishing options, as well as extra features.

Doors that are equipped with automatic door openers can still be opened manually, in addition to automatically. Specific models carry a battery for continuous power, even in the event of a power outage. Some models come with a remote for more significant functions.

What Are the Advantages of Having an Automatic Door Opener?

Whether it is for a private residence or commercial building, an automatic door opener has many advantages.
