What types of commercial automatic doors and operators do you install?

You don’t have to know the exact product name. If you can describe how the door should work, we’ll match it with the right automatic commercial doors installation package.

  • 1. Automatic sliding doors & storefront systems

    Common use cases:


    • Main building entrances
    • Retail store entries
    • Hospital and clinic entrances
    • High-traffic corridors

    We routinely install:


    • Automatic sliding doors (commercial)
    • Automatic sliding glass doors (commercial)
    • Commercial automatic sliding entry doors
    • Commercial electric sliding doors
    • Sliding auto door and auto glass sliding door systems
    • Commercial automatic sliding glass doors (various manufacturers)

    These systems are designed for smooth, hands-free access that meets modern expectations for convenience and accessibility.


  • 2. Automatic swinging doors & interior openings

    Not every opening is right for a slider. In tight spaces or existing frames, automatic swinging doors are often the right fit.

    We install:


    • Automatic office doors for conference rooms, admin suites, and controlled-access areas
    • Automatic opening doors (commercial) for lobby and interior transitions
    • Access entry automatic doors where you need controlled but convenient entry

    These can be paired with push plates, keypads, card readers, or integrated access control systems.


  • 3. Operators, closers & power units

    Sometimes the door is fine—but the hardware that moves it isn’t. Wagner installs and replaces:


    • Automatic door operators (commercial)
    • Commercial automatic door operators
    • Commercial auto door openers
    • Automatic door openers (commercial)


    And the supporting control hardware:


    • Power door operators
    • Automatic office door closer
    • Automatic door closers (commercial)
    • Electric door closers (commercial)

    We’ll evaluate your existing door, frame, and structure to determine whether you need a full new opening or just an operator and closer upgrade.


How does commercial automatic door installation work with Wagner?

You shouldn’t have to juggle multiple trades just to get a door installed. Our process keeps it straightforward and turnkey.

This is paragraph text. Click it or hit the Manage Text button to change the font, color, size, format, and more. To set up site-wide paragraph and title styles, go to Site Theme.

1. Site visit & assessment

We come on site, look at:

  • Existing door and frame conditions
  • Clearances, traffic patterns, and nearby obstacles
  • Power availability for automatic door operator installation
  • Code and ADA requirements for your occupancy type



We’ll also ask about how you want the door to function day-to-day—who uses it, when, and under what conditions.

2. Recommendation & scope

Based on the visit, we’ll recommend the right combination of:

  • Automatic commercial doors or commercial auto doors
  • Automatic sliding door installation or swinging door solutions
  • The right commercial automatic door operators and control package


If you’re searching for “automatic door opener installers near me” and getting vague answers, this is the step where we get specific, in writing.

3. Coordination with other trades (when needed)

On more complex jobs, we’ll coordinate with:

  • Electricians for dedicated circuits
  • Security and IT teams for access control integration
  • GC or facilities teams on timing, shutdowns, and safety


Our goal: one contractor managing your automatic commercial doors installation, not three vendors pointing fingers at each other.

4. Installation & commissioning

On install day, we:

  • Remove or modify the existing door/hardware as needed
  • Install the new commercial automatic entry doors or operators
  • Wire and program the control system
  • Test all safety devices and signage
  • Walk your team through use and basic troubleshooting


We don’t leave until the door is operating the way you expected and the workspace is cleaned up.

  • Door type and size
  • Standard vs. oversized openings
  • Single vs. bi-part sliders or pairs of swinging doors

  • Existing electrical capacity
  • Framing and header modifications
  • Required glazing or storefront work
