2. Automatic door - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_door

   In 1954, Dee Horton and Lew Hewitt invented the first sliding automatic door. The automatic door used a mat actuator. In 1960, they co-founded Horton Automatics Inc and placed the first commercial automatic sliding door on the market. [5] With the invention of the Gunn diode, microwave motion detectors became common in automatic doors in the ...

3. Sliding door operator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_door_operator

   A door operator may be triggered in various ways: Approach Sensor (such as a radar sensor) - the door opens when a user approaches it. Pushbutton - the door opens when a user presses a button. Access control - the door opens when an access control system determines the user is authorized to go through. Automatically (in the case of elevators).

4. Motion detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

   A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

5. Crash bar - Wikipedia

   When the sensor is pressed, it releases an electromagnetic lock. It may be used in tandem with a motion sensor which unlocks for anyone who stands in front of the door. This type of release must still unlock in the event of a power failure, and in some jurisdictions, the door must automatically unlock for a fire alarm activation. [12]

6. Swing-door operator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing-door_operator

   A door operator may use sensors to prevent the door from coming into contact with a user. Full Energy operators require at least 3 sensors. Low-energy operators are not required to have safety sensors, as the door is allowed to come in contact with a user, given that the kinetic energy of the moving door is limited by the reduced moving speed.

7. Door closer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_closer

   A door closer is a mechanical device that regulates the speed and action of a door’s swing. [1] Manual closers store the force used to open the door in some type of spring and reuse it to close the door. Automatic types use electricity to regulate door swing behavior. Door closers can be linked to a building's fire and security alarm systems. [2]
