Good to know
Automatic operators move the door, but they still rely on locks, latches and closers that have to work with them. When a door stops opening automatically, the cause is sometimes a lock that is staying engaged, or a latch that no longer lines up. We look at that side of the door. If the fault is inside the operator itself, the manufacturer or a specialist installer is the right call, and we will say so.
When this is not the right fix
Operator repair may need the manufacturer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install the automatic operators themselves?
We coordinate the locks and hardware. Full operator installation is often done together with a specialist.
Are automatic door operators required?
That depends on the type of building and the rules that apply to it. A building owner or designer can confirm.
Can you fix a door that will not open automatically?
If the problem is a lock or hardware issue, yes. If it is the operator, we refer you to the manufacturer or service provider.
