Make the existing door the starting point.
Retrofit projects begin with the installed equipment and its condition. A working operator may accept a suitable activation input, but power requirements, relay behaviour, wiring, clearances and locking arrangements still need review. A door that drags, fails to latch or opens inconsistently needs mechanical attention before an activation upgrade can perform reliably.
Touchless Door Retrofits & Sensor Upgrades: at a glance
- Start with the condition of the installed door system.
- Reuse depends on model, wiring and functional compatibility.
- Allow for wall finishes and occupied-building access.
Know what the work involves.
What we assess
- Operator make, model and service condition
- Current activation wiring and power supply
- Door alignment, closer, latch and frame condition
- Finish repairs, surface wiring and access restrictions
Scope & coordination
A useful retrofit proposal separates reusable equipment from replacement items. It also identifies making-good work and any work by the building electrician or security contractor. For occupied buildings, include access arrangements and a plan for maintaining an appropriate route during the work.
What to share with us
List recurring faults and previous repairs, even if the door is working today. Tell us whether surface-mounted devices or conduit are acceptable and whether the opening is fire-rated or part of a controlled entrance.
Can every existing operator be upgraded?
No. Compatibility depends on the actual operator, controls, power and door condition. Obsolete or unsupported equipment may require a different scope.
Start with the existing control
A push plate is useful context for a retrofit enquiry. Its wiring, mounting and operator connection still need review.
