Commercial door closers are found on almost every commercial building in North America. Often they are a requisite of local building codes. They are installed not just as a matter of convenience. Their main purpose, especially with exterior and utility doors, is to prevent the spread of flames and smoke during a fire emergency. A secondary benefit is to maintain building heating or cooling efficiency and indoor air quality. On interior doors, an automatic door ID helps contain noise and maintain temperature zones.

Regular Servicing -Think of your new entrance more like a car, we service our cars; so why not our entrances? With servicing this will show up any unexpected faults before they occur. For instance we would not want the entrance to be stuck locked on the day of a sale in a superstore would you?

A subtle benefit of this system is that it increases safety. It accomplishes this by minimizing congestion and providing a simple hands-free way to open and close entrances. The final pedestrian application which benefits businesses is simplicity. Involuntary entrance systems are the easiest way to lower the cost of compliance with various regulations such as the persons with disabilities regulations. During construction or remodeling it may be necessary for a building owner to provide barrier free access to their store. Involuntary systems allow them to do this simply and inexpensively.

Do not ignore any faults-Do not ignore any faults that the entrance might have, get it checked out right away as this also could lead to further issues, treat your entrance like a car, and get it checked over just to be safe. Squeaks and groans are warning signs that something major is going to break, treat it now and you want get the serious faults.

In many instances, large industrial entrances are left wide open which makes it easy for trucks and heavy machinery to enter and exit the building. Unfortunately, consistently leaving an entrance open to the outside air can make the building uncomfortable. This is particularly true during the winter and hot summer months. In some situations it can also create an unsafe environment because anyone can walk through an open door and enter the facility.

As expected, any power interruptions will influence the functioning of the involuntary entrances. However, most are made with the capability to allow entrances to be opened manually as well, meaning that you won't lose an entrance during a power outage.

Interior mobility. You may need to install automatic entrance closers on one or more interior entrances as well. Again, it depends on your clientele, staff and how your building is used and navigated at different times and in different situations.

It also makes life more convenient as well, no more getting out of the car to open your garage entrance before you drive in, it can all be controlled from inside the car using a key. This is also of benefit for elderly or less able-bodied people as there are no heavy garage entrances to keep trying to open and close. Automatic garage doors are becoming much more affordable and much more widely used.
