Expert Installation of Automatic Door Operators
Buying the opener is only half the battle. Proper installation is critical for safety, compliance, and longevity. An incorrectly installed operator can slam the door, burn out the motor, or fail to latch. Installix provides professional automatic door operator installation. We mount the unit securely, wire the sensors and switches, and tune the programming to meet AAADM (American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers) safety standards.
Scope of Installation
Header Reinforcement
Automatic openers exert massive torque. We ensure the header is strong enough. If installing on a hollow drywall header, we add structural blocking or pass-through bolts to prevent the unit from ripping off the wall.
Electrical Integration
We wire the low-voltage actuators (buttons) and integrate with your access control system (e.g., card reader). We ensure the door unlocks before the arm starts to push to prevent motor burnout.
Safety Tuning
We adjust the opening speed, hold-open time, and closing force. The door must stop if it hits an obstruction (like a person) to prevent injury.
The Solution: Certified Setup
We install operators on aluminum storefronts, hollow metal doors, and even wood doors. We run wiremold or fish wires through frames for a clean, professional look with no dangling cables.
Why Choose Installix?
- Retrofit Specialists: We are experts at adding automation to existing manual doors.
- Wireless Options: We use wireless RF push buttons to avoid cutting into drywall or concrete, saving installation time and mess.
- Commissioning: We walk you through the functionality, showing you how to turn it off/on and hold it open for deliveries.
Technical Specifications
| Setting | Standard (ANSI 156.19) |
|---|---|
| Opening Time | Must take 4-5 seconds or more to open to 90 degrees. |
| Hold Open | Must hold open for minimum 5 seconds. |
| Force | Must require less than 15lbs of force to stop the door motion. |
Our Process: Safe & Sound
Step 1: Mounting
We drill and tap the frame to mount the backplate securely.
Step 2: Arm Install
We install the arm and preload it to ensure the door closes fully against the weatherstripping.
Step 3: Wiring & Tuning
We connect the power (plug-in or hardwire coordination) and program the microprocessor for smooth motion.
Pricing Factors
- Power Access: Is there 110V power above the door? If not, an electrician is required to run a line (we can coordinate this).
- Door Type: All-glass doors require special glass-clamping arms, which are more expensive and complex to install.
- Activation: Wiring hardwired buttons through concrete walls costs more than installing wireless buttons.
