Automatic doors make it easy for customers to enter and leave your business. This is a huge benefit for customers that are carrying bags or pushing a shopping cart. There are many types of automatic commercial doors. Here is a quick guide to help you decide which type is right for your business.

Types of Automatic Commercial Doors You Should Consider

1. Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are the most popular type of automatic door. They're fast and efficient and can handle a lot of foot traffic. They come in single-door models that slide either left or right or in double-door models that open in the center. They are ideal for hospitals, grocery stores, and other retail markets where customers carry bags and push shopping carts.

2. Swinging Doors

Swinging doors are energy-efficient and low-maintenance, and—when paired with guide railings—they direct your traffic flow efficiently. The railings can steer customers to the right so that all inbound traffic flows through the right door—which swings away from the customer—while outbound traffic is steered to the left door. They are a popular option for apartment buildings, schools, and offices.

3. Telescoping Doors

When space is limited, telescoping doors are a good option. They operate like typical sliding doors, except they feature narrow panels that nest or stack together. Because the panels collapse, they create the most possible room when space is limited. They are common in airports, government buildings, and banks.
