Automatic doors move people and products through your building without a single push, pull, or held-open door. RCI Doors™ designs, installs, services, and retrofits commercial automatic door systems across North Carolina and the greater Charlotte metro, including Charlotte, Huntersville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheboro, Rock Hill, and Fort Mill.
Your info stays with RCI Doors™. No spam, ever.
RCI Doors™ technicians are AAADM-certified automatic door inspectors trained on ANSI/BHMA A156.10 and A156.19, and RCI Doors™ is ISN Certified for contractor safety and compliance requirements.
AAADM certification covers automatic pedestrian doors, annual safety inspections, sensor calibration, and safe operating standards. ISN certification supports the contractor-vetting requirements many corporate, industrial, and institutional facilities require before approving a vendor. From a failed activator to a full manual-to-automatic retrofit, RCI Doors™ evaluates the whole opening before recommending repair, replacement, or installation.
A technician looks at your opening, operator, sensors, and activators and identifies exactly what is wrong or what the new system needs.

New Automatic Door Installation Automatic Door Replacement RCI Doors™ installs, repairs, replaces, and inspects commercial automatic door systems for accessible entrances, high-traffic lobbies, vestibules, and interior openings.
Automatic doors are precision systems. Sensors drift, belts wear, operators fail, and battery backups degrade. AAADM and the manufacturer warranties both require annual safety inspections to remain in force. When a door can be saved, RCI Doors™ maintains and repairs it. When it cannot, we replace the operator, the hardware, or the full system, all under a single local service relationship.
Charlotte is where many automatic door calls come from. The Huntersville office covers the Charlotte metro and the Lake Norman corridor directly, including Concord and Mooresville, while the Asheboro headquarters covers the Piedmont Triad. Hospitals, medical offices, government buildings, retail, and corporate lobbies in both regions rely on doors that open every time and close safely behind people.
Annual automatic door maintenance covers safety sensor calibration, opening and closing speed tuning per ANSI A156.10 and A156.19, drive belt, motor, and controller inspection, break-away and emergency egress hardware testing, battery backup and UPS load testing, and AAADM compliance sticker documentation.
Automatic doors in ADA-covered facilities must meet applicable accessibility requirements and referenced ANSI/BHMA standards.
AAADM strongly recommends annual safety inspections by an AAADM-certified inspector. ADA Title III violations can carry penalties up to $118,225 initially and $236,451 for subsequent violations in DOJ enforcement actions—not automatically for a missed inspection.
Automatic door issues affect access, ADA compliance, infection control, and security at the same time. RCI Doors™ technicians service the full system so the opening works safely and consistently.
Most automatic door problems come from sensors, operators, activators, power backup, or break-away hardware drifting out of spec.
Sensors lose calibration over time. A door that does not detect people can close on them.
A worn belt causes slow, jerky, or stalled operation and eventually a door that will not move.
The door ignores activators, opens partway, or stops mid-cycle.
Push plates, wave sensors, and motion detectors fail to trigger the door or trigger it constantly.
A backup that no longer holds a charge leaves the door unusable, or blocks egress, during an outage.
Impact or wear stops the door from breaking away for emergency exit.
Automatic door issues quickly become access, security, ADA, and life-safety risks.
Often a failed activator, sensor, or operator.
Don't ignore thisSpeed and force are out of spec and can injure people.
Don't ignore thisA sign of sensor drift or false triggering.
Don't ignore thisLeaves the opening unsecured after hours.
Don't ignore thisA missed inspection can void the manufacturer warranty and create liability.
Don't ignore thisThe battery backup or break-out hardware may have failed.
Don't ignore thisSeeing a warning sign? RCI Doors™ provides 24-hour emergency repair for automatic doors that will not open, close, or operate safely.
Automatic doors combine certified inspection requirements, sensors, activators, operators, egress hardware, and ADA requirements in one system.
