Automatic door calls we handle in Cotati
- A door that stays open or keeps re-opening is most often a sensor issue — the wrong detection pattern, a misaligned safety beam, a reflective floor, or displays moving inside the detection zone.
- That is usually an adjustment visit, not a new operator.
- Doors that won’t open, run rough, or stop mid-travel get a systematic check of power, controls, sensors, and the mechanical load before parts are swapped.
Automatic entrance equipment we service
- We service the major commercial sliding operators found in Northern California buildings.
- A photo of the header label lets us confirm parts availability before scheduling.
- High-traffic entrances such as grocery, medical, and retail benefit from service at least annually, and often semi-annually.
Safety standards and local requirements
- Requirements for an automatic entrance depend on the specific opening — its fire rating, egress role, accessibility function, and the occupancy of the building.
- They are set by the building and fire authority with jurisdiction over your address, which in Cotati can be a city department or the county, depending on where the property sits.
- We check what applies to your opening before recommending work, and we tell you when a component repair is not the same as a full compliance inspection of the assembly.

How Automatic Sliding Doors Works in Cotati, CA

Scope and quote
You get written pricing that separates required safety corrections from optional upgrades, so nothing is bundled in without your say.

New sliding systems, operators, header assemblies, sensors, and controls are installed; existing units are repaired and rebuilt where the equipment supports it.

Sensor and timing setup
Activation patterns, presence sensing, hold-open time, and opening and closing speeds are set per the manufacturer's specifications.

Safety verification
The finished entrance is cycled and checked for safe closing, correct sensor coverage, breakout function, and ADA-compliant clear width.
Automatic Sliding Doors in Cotati, CA — FAQs
Can you send a technician to Cotati for automatic sliding doors?
Yes. Cotati is inside our Northern California service area, and we dispatch to Cotati and nearby Sonoma County communities from our Sacramento base. Scheduling depends on the job, so send the address and the problem and we’ll confirm availability.
Why does my automatic door stay open or keep re-opening?
Almost always a sensor issue: a presence or activation sensor with the wrong pattern, a dirty or misaligned safety beam, a sensor picking up a reflective floor, or moving objects like flags and displays inside the detection zone. It's a diagnostic-and-adjustment call, not usually a new operator.
How far is Cotati from your base?
We dispatch from Sacramento. Cotati is roughly 68 miles west of our base, inside our 100-mile service radius.
Can you replace just the operator and keep the existing doors?
Often yes. If the panels, glass, and framing are sound, a new operator and header can be fitted to the existing package, which costs considerably less than a full entrance replacement.
How often should automatic sliding doors be inspected?
Industry practice and the AAADM program call for a daily safety check by the owner and a professional inspection at least annually — semi-annually for high-traffic entrances like grocery, medical, and retail.
What should I send before you come out?
Configuration — single slide, bi-parting, telescoping, or unsure; Operator brand and model if the header label is readable; Symptoms — won't open, stays open, closes too fast, noisy, error light; Whether the entrance is your only accessible entry; Business hours and preferred service window.
