Low Energy Door Operators
Facilities such as schools. Retirement homes and assisted living often experience increased traffic from seniors, children, and disabled people.

Benefits of Low-Energy Door Installation
There are several benefits to installing low-energy doors in your facilities. Some of them include:
- Low-energy doors reduce the risk of injury from doors slamming or moving too quickly; this reduces the volume of liability your business could be exposed to.
- Low-energy doors require far less power to operate than other automatic doors; this makes them more energy-efficient and reduces energy costs for the facility.
- Low-energy doors are crucial in buildings that experience low mobility issues, like older and disabled people. These buildings often come with ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] requirements, which installing low-energy doors can help you fulfill.
- The doors also have flexibility as they can be operated manually without damaging their mechanism. This feature makes them useful in emergencies like power outages.
- They operate more quietly than high-powered automatic doors. This ability makes them ideal in places where noise reduction is essential.
- They improve your business’s reputation as customers see that your business accommodates those who need good mobility; this can lead to greater patronage.
Factors To Consider When Installing Low-Energy Doors
Despite the benefits of having low-energy doors in buildings, installing them requires forethought and precision to get them working correctly. Here are some factors our technicians often consider when installing low-energy door operators:
- Stability of Power Supply. Although low-energy doors consume minimal electricity, the supply has to be constant for smooth operation, preferably close to the installation site.
- Structural Integrity of the Building. Low-energy doors require weighty parts like their motor, arm, and door. You have to ensure that the building can support the door.
- Program Settings and Door Alignment to ensure that the door responds to the sensors and operates smoothly without injuring its users.
- You also want to check the possibility of wear down from door parts like gears, hinges, and pivots. Friction can reduce the performance of the door if not adequately accounted for.
