With automatic doors, facilities can support residents of all physical abilities while managing the flow of visitors, seniors, and staff members efficiently.

Great service, responded quickly to my inquiry and gave a reasonable quote for installation.  Installer showed up on time and quickly installed my unit and then cleaned everything and made sure the unit gave me enough time to get in and out with my scooter.  Highly recommend.

Patient Wander Management System Compatibility

If your facility uses a Patient Wander Management system, we can support its continued functionality through seamless door system integration. These RFID-enabled systems are vital in many assisted living facilities, particularly those caring for dementia patients. They allow residents controlled freedom while giving staff the tools to monitor movement securely.

We understand how critical these systems are in senior care. Our technicians work carefully to maintain full system performance during door installations or service.

Senior Living Facility Fire Door Inspections

Fire door inspections are the first step toward fire door compliance. Fire doors must be tested and inspected on an annual basis. A ruling of non-compliance could have tragic consequences.

In order to protect against the spread of fire and smoke within, into, or out of senior living facilities, the facility manager(s) needs to implement preventative maintenance and fire door inspection programs in accordance with local and national standards. Fire door failures in an emergency can happen due to lack of maintenance, physical damage to the door, the closure, guides, tracks, or by obstacles blocking the fire door. Each of these put employees and customers at risk in case of a fire emergency. You can schedule your fire door inspection here.

Your senior living facility commercial doors are designed to last for many years. Any building manager wants to increase the lifespan of their investment and avoid major commercial door repair and costly replacements.
