Automatic Swing Doors & ADA Operators

An accessible entrance shouldn't depend on someone holding the door. We install and service swing door operators that open reliably for everyone.

Automatic Swing Doors & ADA Operators in Sacramento & Northern California

Automatic swing door operators come in two families. Low-energy operators open an existing door slowly and gently when someone presses a push plate or wave switch — the standard way to make a storefront, office, medical, or restroom door ADA accessible. Full-energy swing operators open faster on motion sensors and need guide rails and safety sensors, and they're used at higher-traffic entrances. Both add real value for people with mobility needs, deliveries, and anyone with their hands full — and both need regular adjustment to stay safe and compliant.

Guardian Door LLC installs, repairs, and replaces automatic and low-energy swing door systems across Sacramento and Northern California, including ADA operators on existing doors, push plates and wave switches, touchless and wireless activation, motion and presence sensors, safety sensors, and electrified locking integration. We set opening force, speed, and hold-open time to ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and California accessibility requirements and document it.

    Door and site review

    We check the door, frame, hinges, closer, power availability, and how people approach the opening to select the right operator and activation.

  4. 4

    Adjustment to code

    Opening speed, force, back-check, latch speed, and hold-open time are set to the accessibility standard for the operator type.

  5. 5

    The entrance is cycled, activation tested from the required reach ranges, and owner daily-check guidance provided.
