FAQs:
Automatic door openers are low-energy motorized devices that automate door opening and closing to support barrier-free access, as outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These openers are activated by push plates, wave sensors, or similar controls and are designed for safe, low-force operation. Auto openers include adjustable timing and built-in safety sensors, helping facilities meet ADA and ICC A117.1 requirements while improving user experience.
ADA and ICC A117.1 standards for low-energy door openers include:
• Opening force under 5 lbf for interior doors (after unlatching)
• Closing speed not exceeding 3 feet per second.
• Minimum 5-second hold-open time after full opening
TCH ensures that all installed systems meet or exceed these thresholds. Our team also provides ongoing inspections and adjustments to maintain compliance and operational safety.
Installation begins with a site assessment to determine door type, swing direction, and ADA requirements. TCH IAS team installs low-energy door operators and closers, configures activation devices, and calibrates opening and closing speeds for smooth, quiet performance. Most installations are completed with minimal disruption to building operations and are compatible with existing frames and hardware.
Automatic door openers for disabled access are designed to provide hands-free or push-button entry for individuals with mobility challenges. These openers help eliminate physical barriers and support equal access for wheelchair users, people with walkers, or those with limited upper-body strength.
Low-energy openers meet all ADA requirements and include easy-to-use activation options like wall-mounted push plates and wave sensors.
Low-energy operators are ideal for moderate-traffic areas such as office suites, restrooms, clinics, or classrooms where doors typically remain closed but need to offer accessible entry.
They consume less power, reduce wear on hardware, and qualify as “manual” doors under building codes when used properly—eliminating the need for full automation or costly modifications.
They are integrable with building management and smart access controls, ensuring discreet and efficient performance.
While designed for accessibility, ADA-compliant door operators can also integrate with access control systems like keypads, card readers, and alarm panels. TCH systems can be configured to only activate for authorized users and include options for fail-safe operation, fire alarm tie-ins, and monitoring.
TCH IAS team ensures seamless integration between door automation, hardware, and building security protocols—supporting both safety, compliance,& maintenance.
