What Is a Commercial Automatic Door Inspection?
A commercial automatic door inspection is a structured, documented review of your powered doors and operators to make sure they:
- Open and close safely and consistently
- Meet manufacturer and industry standards
- Support ADA accessibility and life safety requirements
- Aren’t putting staff, patients, visitors, or customers at risk
Our team performs door inspections using an AAADM inspection checklist and standardized AAADM inspection forms so you have clear, written proof of compliance and condition.
When you hire Wagner, you’re not just getting “a door guy.” You’re getting an
AAADM certified inspector
who understands both the technical hardware and the safety standards behind it.
Common Automatic Door Problems We Fix Every Week
Our commercial automatic door inspection services cover most powered and low-energy commercial systems, including:
- Automatic sliding doors (single, bi-parting, telescoping)
- Automatic swinging doors and low-energy operators
- Storefront and entrance systems with automatic operators
- Handicap / ADA door operators and push-button systems
- Automatic office doors and interior access points
- Commercial auto doors at retail, healthcare, and industrial sites
If you’re not sure whether a specific door is included, we’ll review it during the
door inspection and tell you whether it should be part of your ongoing inspection plan.
How Often Do I Need an Automatic Door Inspection?
Most commercial facilities should plan on at least an annual door inspection for every powered or low-energy door that the public uses. High-traffic or high-risk environments—like hospitals, mental health facilities, and busy retail—may need more frequent inspections.
Our team can help you build a practical inspection schedule so you’re not:
- Over-inspecting doors that almost never move
- Under-inspecting entrances that carry the most risk
Instead of scrambling to find an AAADM certified inspector at the last minute, you’ll have a scheduled commercial automatic door inspection plan that keeps you ahead of compliance and safety issues.

What’s Included in Wagner’s Automatic Door Inspection?
Every
automatic door inspection includes a detailed, on-site evaluation of both safety and function. Depending on your door type, we review:
Safety & Compliance Checks
- Activation zones and safety sensors
- Signage and labeling where required
- Opening and closing speeds
- Door hold-open times and obstruction behavior
- ADA push-button function and reach range
Mechanical & Electrical Checks
- Operators, arms, and linkages
- Tracks, rollers, and pivots
- Control boxes and basic electrical connections
- Fasteners, covers, and mounting hardware
System-Level Review
- Coordination with access control where applicable
- Emergency egress behavior
- Integration with fire and life safety requirements (where relevant)
All findings are documented using our
AAADM inspection forms, so you have a clear record of every
commercial door inspection performed.
Do You Also Handle Issues Found During Inspections?
Yes. Inspections often uncover items that need attention—some minor, some urgent. When we complete a commercial automatic door inspection, we’ll categorize what we find:
- Safe, working as intended – no immediate action needed
- Needs corrective adjustment – recommended tune-ups or small parts
- Not safe / out of compliance – requires prompt repair or replacement
Because Wagner Door also provides
commercial automatic door repair
and
commercial automatic door service, we can move directly from inspection to a plan for corrective work if you choose.
Need immediate service?
We're available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why Work With an AAADM Certified Inspector?
Automatic doors are more than “convenience hardware.” They are moving machines interacting with people all day long. An AAADM certified inspector:
- Uses standardized AAADM inspection checklists
- Follows industry best practices for powered doors
- Knows what manufacturers and risk managers expect
- Helps you reduce liability and document due diligence
For hospitals, schools, corporate campuses, and government facilities, that documentation is often just as important as the mechanical inspection itself.
How Our Inspection Process Works
We keep your commercial automatic door inspection services straightforward and predictable:
1. Discovery & Scope
We inventory your automatic doors and operators and define how many openings need inspection across your locations.
2. On-Site Automatic Door Inspection
Our inspector walks each opening, performs the required tests, and notes any safety, performance, or compliance issues.
3. Documentation & AAADM Inspection Forms
You receive clear documentation from our
door inspection services, including per-door findings and recommended actions.
4. Priority Repair & Service Plan (Optional)
If we find problems, we can quote and schedule repairs to bring your
commercial automatic doors back into safe, reliable operation.
5. Annual Door Inspection Plan
We help you establish an ongoing
commercial automatic door inspection schedule so this becomes routine rather than reactive.
Common Inspection Questions
Do I really need commercial automatic door inspection services every year?
If the public uses your powered doors, the safest answer is yes. Regular automatic door inspection reduces accidents, downtime, and surprise failures—and gives you documentation if something ever does happen.
Is this just for main entrances, or interior doors too?
Any powered or low-energy system—entrance, corridor, or interior automatic office doors—should be part of your inspection plan, especially when they provide ADA access or emergency egress.
We already get repairs when something breaks. Why add inspections?
Repairs are reactive. Commercial automatic door inspection services are proactive. An inspection finds problems before a door fails in front of a client, patient, or inspector.
Can you inspect multiple locations or campuses?
Yes. Wagner’s door inspection services can be scoped to a single building, multiple facilities, or an entire regional footprint across our Virginia service area.
