What Are Barrier Free Doors?
Barrier free doors are automated or low-energy doors designed to allow easy and safe entry for individuals with mobility challenges, including those using wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers. These systems often include hands-free access features such as push plates, motion sensors, or touchless activation.
Ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects, barrier free door systems are commonly used in:
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Government buildings
- Schools and universities
- Office buildings
- Condominiums and apartments
- Commercial storefronts and retail spaces

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an accessible automatic entrance system?
It is a door system designed to improve entry and exit for individuals with mobility challenges. These systems typically use sensors, push plates, or other activation devices to open doors with minimal physical effort required.
Can manual doors be automated for accessibility?
Yes. Many existing swing doors can be upgraded with a low-energy operator to create a more accessible entrance. This is often a cost-effective solution compared to full door replacement.
Where are accessible door systems commonly installed?
They are typically found in hospitals, schools, office buildings, retail spaces, and public facilities. These environments require entrances that are easy to use for a wide range of users, including those with mobility aids or strollers.
What activation options are available?
There are several options depending on the application, including push plates, wave-to-open sensors, motion detectors, and integration with access control systems. The choice usually depends on traffic flow and building requirements.
Do these systems require ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Regular servicing helps ensure the door operates safely and reliably over time. Maintenance typically includes checking sensors, adjusting operators, and inspecting hardware for wear.
