Automatic operators and complete entrance systems for accessible, high-traffic and hands-free building entry.
What this product family does
A complete automatic-door design includes the operator, door/panel system, activation and presence sensors, safety controls, header/track, locks, breakaway or emergency behavior and the surrounding entrance condition. Selection is based on opening type, traffic, wind, building pressure, accessibility and code.
Products and decisions
| Product area | What it includes | Selection guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Low-energy swing | Operator added to a suitable swing door | Survey door/hinges/closer, push plates or touchless activation and safety |
| Full-power swing | High-traffic automated swing entrance | Requires a complete sensor and safety-zone design |
| Sliding entrance | Automatic sliding panels, header, track and sensors | Coordinate clear opening, breakout, floor condition, weather and security locking |
| Controls | Activation, presence, safety and access-control interface | Write the sequence for normal, locked, fire and power-failure modes |

How to compare and specify this product family
For dormakaba Automatic Swing and Sliding Doors, the right model and architecture depend on the site, existing infrastructure and operating policy. A proposal should clearly document the following vehicle gate and traffic-control system decisions before equipment is ordered:
- Gate type, weight, length and travel
- Daily cycles and peak traffic
- Monitored entrapment-protection devices
- Vehicle loops, photo eyes and safety edges
- Fire-department and emergency access
- Power, backup operation and preventive maintenance
Installation, testing and handoff
A site review verifies gate construction, travel, wind exposure, traffic flow, power and the required monitored safety devices before an operator is chosen. The final scope should identify controls, loops, photo eyes, edges, access-control interfaces, emergency operation and signage. Commissioning includes force and safety-device tests, access tests, operator limits, user training and a maintenance schedule. Existing gates may require mechanical correction before automation can be installed safely.

Official dormakaba software, firmware and support
Use the manufacturer links below for current software, firmware, release notes, manuals and technical resources. Boston High Tech links directly to official manufacturer portals and does not copy or host firmware files.
Before installing an update: verify the exact model, region, hardware revision, current version, required intermediate releases, licensing or support entitlement, backup and rollback plan, integrations and maintenance window. An incorrect firmware package or upgrade sequence can interrupt service, invalidate compatibility or prevent a downgrade. Coordinate updates for monitored, life-safety-adjacent or business-critical systems with the system administrator and an authorized specialist.
Some resources require a customer, dealer, certified-technician or active-support login. Cloud-managed products may update automatically and may not provide a public firmware file.
