Our Retrofit & Replacement Automatic Door Operator Services

Our replacement and retrofit automated door operator services focus on targeted upgrades that ensure your building is compliant with the Alberta Building Code and today’s accessibility standards. From standard swing doors to double doors, our door services will provide barrier-free access for all your clients and staff. 

Automatic Door Operator Retrofits


One of the most popular services we provide to older buildings grandfathered into the current building code is automatic door retrofitting. This service focuses on working with your existing swinging and double doors and adding automatic operators and connected activations to create a barrier-free door. Whether you are looking to modernize your building's lobby or are gutting and remodeling your interior doors and washrooms, a door retrofitting service will allow our door experts to evaluate your existing doors and make targeted upgrades that will increase your building’s accessibility without the need to totally redesign the space.

Automatic Door Operator Replacements


For the vast majority of our clients, a retrofit is possible, but some door types and frames cannot be upgraded to meet code and must be replaced. This is where our replacement door services come in. We can provide your space with a new door, operator, and all the connected sensors and activations to create a barrier-free door in your building. Our replacement doors meet current Alberta Building Code standards and come in custom and stock portfolios, allowing us to find the ideal door, hardware, and operator for your specific door frame.

Two Activation Height Requirements

When considering activation installations, the Alberta Accessibility Design Guide recommends placing two triggers at different heights. The reason for this is quite simple, it is all about making access easy for all. For those who are able-bodied or can stand, the activator should be at around average waist height, between 900 mm and 1100 mm, to allow for easy triggering. While the second button is designed for those who are seated and will be between 150 mm and 300 mm from the floor. As well, the placement should be outside the door swing path but still close enough to allow those with strollers, walkers, or wheelchairs enough time to hit the button and access the doorway before it closes, typically between 150 mm and 200 mm from the door frame.

Emergency Override & Safety Considerations

Adding an emergency override and other safety-related features is a great option to consider for making your older building a little more user-friendly. All of our automatic door operators have a manual override or a battery backup to ensure that the door can return to its natural position and still operate manually during an evacuation or power outage. While for those who are looking for a little more safety within the washroom can opt to install emergency call buttons, fall sensors and other safety sensors to ensure users can get help if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting you reliable solutions & honest answers.

  • What types of existing doors can be retrofitted with automatic door operators?

    For most of our clients, the swing door is the most popular door type to retrofit with an automated door operator, as it is a simple addition that works with existing hinges and most frames. However, swing doors are not the only type of door that can be retrofitted with an automatic door operator. We have worked with clients across Edmonton to add door operators on double doors, interior hallway doors, and even commercial entrance doors.

  • Are there any building codes or accessibility requirements I should be aware of when retrofitting doors?

    When retrofitting a door used for accessibility compliance, you will need to adhere to the National Building Code - Alberta Edition, Section 3.8. This section deals with the specifics of doors. To be a compliant accessible door, your retrofitted door will need to have:   

    • A clear opening of at least 810 mm.
    • Thresholds that do not exceed 13 mm and are beveled.
    • Lever-type hardware installed on the door.
    • Low-energy automated door operator with a push button or other type of sensor, such as a wave or key card reader.
  • Will the retrofitted automatic door operator require special maintenance or servicing?

    Automated door operators require specialized and regular maintenance, and our team at Accesio can help ensure this is done through our maintenance plans. Typically, you will need to inspect the unit once a year to check the sensors, motor performance, and safety mechanisms. In addition to an inspection, the unit will need servicing, including lubrication of components, sensor cleaning, and checks to ensure that belts, motors, and structural connections remain intact and functioning.
