Touchless Door Solutions

A touchless door opener lets people enter a building without touching a handle or push plate. A sensor detects motion or presence and triggers the door automatically. Facilities choose touchless door openers to cut germ transmission, meet ADA accessibility requirements, and add hands-free access to doors they already have, without a full replacement.

Touchless Activation: How It Reduces the Spread of Germs

Door Services Corporation offers a wide range of touchless activation sensors. These sensors cut down on the germs and bacteria that build up on push plates and door handles, and they make entry easier for anyone pushing a cart, using a wheelchair, or carrying a load.

Most touchless door openers use one of three sensor types. Doppler radar emits a microwave signal that detects motion, a hand, a cart, a person, and activates the door the moment something moves into range. Active infrared works a bit differently. It projects infrared light and reads the reflection to sense presence, which makes it a good fit for tighter spaces where radar's wider field picks up too much. Capacitance senses a change in electrical field as someone reaches toward the plate, so the door responds before contact even happens.

Each works with almost any existing automatic door opener. You get touchless access without tearing out hardware you already trust.

Where touchless door openers are used most:

  • Clean rooms
  • Common areas and corridors
  • Public restrooms
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Commercial properties
  • Food processing plants
  • Retail facilities and more

Improve Accessibility and ADA Compliance

The case for automatic doors is simple. They're convenient, they're safe, and they control the flow of foot traffic better than a manual door ever will. Touchless activation goes a step further. It helps meet ADA accessibility requirements while cutting the spread of germs, showing real concern for the people who walk through your doors every day.

Door Services Corporation offers solutions to make your building accessible to people with physical disabilities. A touchless door opener can bring your entrance into ADA compliance with a fast, straightforward installation.

We can integrate touchless switches into your existing door opener for easy retrofit and everyday convenience. For the best results, touchless plates can include both a visible light and an audible tone, so people know the door has registered their approach. In dimly lit entrances, a lighted touch plate helps with both visibility and accessibility.

These devices work with almost any existing door operator. Your customers and staff get touchless entry without tearing your doorway down to the studs.

Touchless Door Openers and Access Control

Touchless doesn't mean unsecured. Many facilities pair a touchless door opener with an access control system, so entry still requires a badge, code, or card, but no one has to touch a handle to get through once they're cleared. This combination is common in healthcare facilities, labs, and secure office buildings where hygiene and security both matter. Ask your Door Services Corporation representative about pairing touchless activation with your existing access control setup, or adding one if you don't have it yet.

What Our Clients Say

Great service, responded quickly to my inquiry and gave a reasonable quote for installation.  Installer showed up on time and quickly installed my unit and then cleaned everything and made sure the unit gave me enough time to get in and out with my scooter.  Highly recommend.

Hands-Free Solutions for Manual Doors

Not every door in your building is automatic, and that's fine. Foot pulls and arm pulls bring hands-free convenience to manual doors without the cost of a full automatic conversion.

Foot Pulls

 Mounted low on the door, a foot pull lets someone hook a foot under the handle and pull the door open, no hands required.

Arm Pulls

An arm pull extends further up the door face, so someone carrying a box or pushing a cart with both hands can open the door with a forearm instead.
