Upgrade Your Space with Automatic Sliding Doors

If you’re looking to make your space easier to use, more welcoming, and safer, automatic sliding doors might be the perfect choice. At Push To Open Doors, we’ve been helping homes and businesses in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland upgrade their entrances for over 12 years. These doors not only make everyday life more convenient, but they also bring style and smart solutions to any building.

In this blog, we’ll share why automatic sliding doors are becoming more popular, how they work, and why you should consider them for your next upgrade. Whether you own a shop, office, or apartment building, this guide will help you understand how these doors can truly change your space for the better.

What Are Automatic Sliding Doors?

Automatic sliding doors are doors that open and close on their own. They use sensors to detect when someone is approaching and slide open smoothly. This means you don’t need to touch the door to walk in or out. The doors then close by themselves after you’ve passed through.

They are perfect for places with high foot traffic, like offices, clinics, malls, and apartment buildings. But more and more people are also choosing them for their homes to improve accessibility and add a modern touch.

Why Are They a Smart Choice?

There are many good reasons to install automatic sliding doors. Here are just a few:

• Hands-Free Access: Whether you’re carrying groceries, pushing a stroller, or using a wheelchair, you can go through without struggling to open a heavy door.

• Energy Efficient: These doors open only when needed and close quickly, which helps keep the indoor temperature steady. That means lower heating and cooling bills.

• Improved Hygiene: Since no one has to touch the door, it helps reduce the spread of germs—especially useful in hospitals, schools, and restaurants.

• Space Saving: Sliding doors don’t swing in or out, which means they take up less room and give you more usable space around them.

• Better Traffic Flow: In busy areas, these doors help people move in and out faster without creating jams at the entrance.

These doors work well in both small and large spaces. If you’re not sure whether your building is the right fit, we can come take a look and help you decide.

How Do They Work?

A typical automatic sliding door system includes motion sensors, sliding tracks, safety sensors, and a control box. The motion sensor tells the door to open when someone is nearby. Once the person walks through the door closes automatically. There are safety features too. If something is blocking the door, it won’t close until the way is clear. Some doors also have backup power so they still work during a power outage.

At Push To Open Doors, we use top-quality parts and certified systems. This makes sure your door will run smoothly and safely for years to come.
