What are custom automated doors?

Custom automated doors are motorized door systems designed specifically for the size, weight, and configuration of a project, rather than using off-the-shelf operators.

What types of doors can be automated?

Sliding doors, pivot doors, bi-parting doors, and multi-panel systems can all be automated, including oversized, heavy, or architecturally unique designs.

Can automated doors integrate with home or building automation systems?

Yes. Automated doors can integrate with home automation, access control, security systems, keypads, sensors, and mobile or touch-panel controls.

Are custom automated doors safe and code compliant?

When properly designed and installed, automated doors include safety features such as soft start and stop, obstacle detection, and emergency override options to meet applicable codes and standards.

Precision Motion and Control

Sliding door automation relies on purpose-built drive systems designed to move large panels smoothly and consistently. Our systems use industrial-grade motors paired with precision drive methods, such as belt-driven motion and guided tracks, to deliver controlled movement across the full door travel.
