What Is a Door Operator?
Door operators automate the opening and closing of doors, typically using motor or hydraulic-driven mechanisms. Used in commercial facilities, public buildings, industrial sites, and residential properties, they enhance safety and efficiency. Motor-driven mechanisms suit lightweight doors, while hydraulic-driven ones are better for heavier doors requiring quiet operation.
A door operator consists of a control unit, a drive mechanism, and sensors. The control unit controls the drive based on sensor information, automating door operation. Selection and installation should consider door weight and size, and regular maintenance is key.
