You might be surprised how many types of automatic doors are available. One is right for your application. Read below for an overview of automatic door types, then download our Selection Guide for more details.
Sliding Doors
The automatic sliding door is a very efficient way to accommodate simultaneous two-way traffic flow. It can also be used very effectively in controlling directional traffic situations such as one door for entry traffic and another door for exit traffic.
Swinging Doors
The automatic swinging door is normally used for directional, or one-way pedestrian traffic. Typically, one door is used for ingress and another for egress.
Folding Doors
Folding doors are considered to be a space saving solution where the opening width is restricted to approximately 6 to 8 feet and there is a desire to move traffic in both directions through a single opening. Single fold doors are best suited for directional or one-way traffic, whereas bi-fold doors are best suited for two-way traffic.
Revolving Doors
Automatic revolving doors are manufactured as complete packages. In general, they are offered in four-wing, three-wing and two-wing designs. Larger diameter four-wing and three-wing doors can also offer center core displays.
