How Our Automatic Door Operators Solve Safety Issues: Advanced Anti-Pinch Protection for Peace of Mind

 When it comes to automatic doors, safety isn't optional—it’s essential. Yet many customers express a valid concern:

“The door sometimes closes too quickly and doesn’t detect people or objects in time. What if someone gets hurt?”

As a leading OEM manufacturer of automatic door operators, we take these concerns seriously. In this blog post, we’ll explain why anti-pinch safety issues occur, and how our latest technology ensures safe and reliable operation, even in high-traffic environments.

The Safety Concern: Insufficient Anti-Pinch or Obstacle Detection

In many low-cost or outdated automatic door systems, the sensor response time or obstruction detection algorithms are not sensitive or fast enough. This can lead to:

Doors closing while someone is still in the doorway

Children, pets, or mobility-impaired individuals being at risk

Damage to personal belongings such as strollers or trolleys

Liability risks for property owners or facility managers

Inadequate safety features not only increase the chance of injury or damage, but can also lead to legal and compliance issues, especially in public or commercial spaces.

Our Solution: Multi-Layered Safety Protection System

To address these concerns, we’ve developed a multi-tiered safety architecture built into all our automatic door operators:

1. Infrared Motion & Presence Sensors

High-sensitivity infrared or microwave sensors detect movement before the door closes.

Dual-zone detection to distinguish between approach and linger zones.

2. Smart Obstacle Detection with Force Limiting

Our intelligent motor control algorithm limits torque and automatically reverses if resistance is detected.

This significantly reduces the chance of pinching people, pets, or objects.

3. Built-in Safety Beams (Photocells)

Horizontal beam sensors trigger immediate stop or reverse when interrupted.

Positioned at child height for enhanced protection.

4. Customizable Closing Speed and Hold-Open Time

Users can set door speed and delay time based on location traffic—preventing sudden closures in busy environments.

5. Optional Emergency Safety Features

Emergency breakaway function

Battery backup for power failure

Remote override controls

For OEM Clients: Safety Compliance You Can Rely On

Our products are designed to meet or exceed international safety standards, such as:

EN 16005 (EU) – Safety in the use of automatic doors

ANSI/BHMA A156.10 (US) – Power-operated pedestrian doors

GB/T 31433 (China) – National standards for automatic door safety

We also support custom integration for clients with special use cases, including:

Hospitals and clinics

Airports and transportation hubs

Shopping malls and smart buildings

High-traffic office entrances

Why Safety = Brand Trust

For B2B clients, safety isn’t just a feature—it’s a reputation factor. A single accident caused by an unreliable door system can result in:

Lawsuits and compensation

Negative media attention

Long-term brand damage

That’s why choosing a door operator with proven, field-tested safety features is not just good engineering—it’s smart business.

Final Thoughts: Safe Doors, Smart Technology

Modern automatic doors should protect people first, and operate second. With our OEM solutions, you’re not just getting performance—you’re getting peace of mind.

Whether you’re an integrator, distributor, or brand partner, our safety-first door operator systems are ready to meet your needs and your customers’ expectations.

Why Your Automatic Door Doesn't Fully Close – Causes and Solutions for Gaps and Sealing Issues

Automatic doors are essential in modern buildings, offering convenience, efficiency, and enhanced security. However, one common issue faced by many users is the door not closing completely. This can result in visible gaps, poor sealing, energy loss, and compromised safety. If you're experiencing this problem, you're not alone. In this article, we’ll explain the key causes and practical solutions to help you restore the full functionality of your automatic door. Common Reasons Why Automatic Doors Don't Fully Close Sensor Malfunction or Misalignment Automatic sliding doors rely on sensors to detect movement and control the opening and closing cycle. If the sensor is misaligned or malfunctioning, it may misinterpret the surroundings and stop the door prematurely, leaving a gap. Obstructions in the Door Track Dirt, debris, or foreign objects in the track can obstruct the door’s movement, preventing it from fully closing. Even small particles can cause resistance that affects al...

What is the typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors, and when should they be replaced or upgraded?

Automatic door infrared sensors are vital components in modern building access systems, offering convenience, safety, and energy efficiency. These sensors are designed to detect the presence of individuals or objects and trigger the door's opening and closing. However, like any technology, they have a finite lifespan. In this article, we will explore the typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors and when they should be replaced or upgraded to ensure optimal functionality and safety. The Lifespan of Infrared Sensors The typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors can vary based on several factors, including the quality of the sensors, environmental conditions, and the level of use. However, on average, infrared sensors are expected to function reliably for approximately 5 to 10 years. Factors Affecting Lifespan 1.  Quality and Durability: High-quality sensors made from durable materials tend to have a longer lifespan. Cheaper or poorly constructed sensors may wear ...

How to Solve Common Automatic Door Issues: Jerky Movement, Noise & Uneven Speed

Automatic sliding doors have become an essential part of modern commercial and residential buildings. However, users may occasionally encounter performance issues such as jerky movement during opening or closing, loud operational noise, or uneven door speed. As a leading OEM manufacturer of automatic door operators, we understand how frustrating these problems can be—and we're here to help you troubleshoot and resolve them effectively. Common Causes of Automatic Door Performance Problems 1. Dirty or Damaged Tracks and Rollers Dirt, debris, or worn-out rollers can cause the door to move unevenly or produce noise. This is one of the most common reasons for jerky door operation. Solution: Regularly inspect and clean the track. Replace worn or damaged rollers with high-quality OEM parts to ensure smooth operation. 2. Incorrect Door Alignment If the door is misaligned, it may rub against the track or side panels, resulting in noise and uneven motion. Solution: Have a qualified technicia...
