FAQs

Q: How do infrared/microwave sensors contribute to user convenience and safety?

A: These sensors detect approaching pedestrians or objects, triggering automatic door activation. Advanced systems also include anti-pinch safety beams or pressure sensors that reverse door movement if obstructed, preventing injuries.

Q: Why are sliding doors preferred over traditional hinged doors in high-traffic areas?

A: Their parallel-to-wall movement requires no swing space, making them space-efficient for narrow corridors or crowded entrances. This design also reduces collision risks and improves pedestrian flow management.

Q: Are there specific safety regulations for emergency egress in automatic doors?

A: Yes. Compliance with fire codes often requires fail-safe mechanisms—such as manual push bars or breakaway clutches—to ensure doors can be opened without power during emergencies.

Q: Where are automatic glass sliding doors most commonly installed?

A: They’re popular in commercial entrances (malls, hotels), public facilities (hospitals, airports), and high-end residential spaces (villas, balconies). These locations benefit from their blend of security, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal.

Q: What is the typical warranty period for these systems, and what does it cover?

A: Most manufacturers offer 3 year warranties covering mechanical/electrical components. Coverage includes motor failures, sensor malfunctions, and structural defects. Routine maintenance like track cleaning or sensor alignment adjustments are typically excluded.
