Why facility managers should choose AAADM Certified technicians for automatic door installation and maintenance
All over the U.S. (and, indeed, the world), public buildings are constructed or retrofitted with automatic doors for their convenience, welcoming accessibility and aesthetics. Most of those buildings have a facility manager in charge of a laundry list of maintenance and upkeep for all building systems. Something as seemingly simple as a door can sometimes get lost on the priority list. However, facility managers are strongly encouraged to take a closer look at their automatic doors and to use only AAADM Certified technicians and inspectors for their automatic door installation and maintenance.
Installing and maintaining an automatic door is more difficult than you might imagine. There are sensors, actuators, specific tensions and other factors that must be considered. Many settings are governed by ANSI standards. It’s why one of AAADM’s signature programs is inspector training. By choosing an installer who is an AAADM Certified Inspector, facility managers can be confident they are providing door users with safe, reliable means of access.
