Are you considering having automatic doors installed in your building? Automatic doors can be a great addition to your building, and it can also have some disadvantages which we are going to be discussing below. Pros

Versatility

Automatic doors come in all different sizes and designs. Whether you’re looking for large double doors to be installed in buildings like universities or hospitals or smaller doors for apartment buildings, our automatic doors would make a great choice!

Accessible

The main pro of automatic doors is accessibility. For people who may have mobility issues or conditions such as fibromyalgia or arthritis, pushing and pulling doors can be a difficult task. With the installation of automatic doors, you can simply work them by being close by or pressing a button near the door.

Secure

Automatic doors have built-in safety measures, this is so the doors avoid crushing anyone or causing any harm by trapping people in. They automatically close which will help to prevent unauthorised people from entering.

Convenience

If you are transporting something heavy, it can be challenging to open doors and keep them open while doing so. With an automatic door, you can come and go with ease without needing to push and pull door handles. While these pros are a great reason to have them installed, there are a few cons to consider. Cons

Cost

The cost of this installation process is significantly pricier than manual doors. This is due to the many features included. Automatic doors can be an expensive purchase and have a high budget to consider.

Installation

For a successful installation, a professional technician is required for accuracy and efficiency. Automatic doors also require regular maintenance and checks to ensure the doors are functioning safely and properly. This can also be expensive. If repairs are needed, this is another costly procedure to consider.

Cleaning

Cleaning automatic doors can be more difficult than manual doors as the internal components like springs and bolts need polishing and oiling to avoid any rusting. Cleaning is another payment that will need to be accounted for in the maintenance of automatic doors. Still unsure about having automatic doors installed in your building?
