How to Choose the Best Automatic Door Opener

Making a building accessible for more people is essential, whether it is a home, apartment, or commercial building. Ontario has been trying to make all facilities accessible through the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (AODA), passed in 2005. The goal has been to make Ontario fully accessible in commercial settings by 2025. Making as many buildings as possible accessible for the disabled is a great goal, but for those companies looking to add more automatic doors to their facilities, it’s crucial to find the best ones. A to Z Locksmith can help provide you with the best automatic door opener in Toronto, including installation and servicing. Here are a few tips for choosing the best automatic door opener for your building.

Budget

As with any addition to your building, whether residential, commercial, or industrial, anything you add needs to be within your budget. However, what’s more, important is choosing a suitable opener for the right door. Because by trying to save, you will end up paying more in the future to replace it or keep getting service calls for repairs because not all the doors in the building are the same or have the same amount of traffic; therefore, they require a different type of openers.

Choosing the Right Distributor

A big issue with choosing a distributor that only sells automatic door openers is that they don’t service them. Luckily for you, A to Z Locksmith can service any automatic door opener you have. However, getting your door opener through a distributor that also services them can help protect your investment through warranties and long-term service plans. Always get the full paperwork for an automatic door opener in Toronto that is installed. You don’t want a low-quality device that could fizz out within months. 

Choose What’s Right for Your Needs

Are you the owner of a residential building? Then you likely won’t need a commercial unit that needs to handle multiple openings per minute. But if you own a store or other high traffic building, you’ll need a unit that can handle the use and abuse, which means spending more money for a high-use automatic door opener in Toronto. Always purchase to your needs, low or high traffic.

Compatibility

There are a lot of styles of automatic door opener out there, so ensure you get one that is compatible with your doors. You may decide to replace the doors completely, but if not, work with the installation distributor to find one that works with your door style.
