How SDC’s EntryControl™ AUTO Series Keeps People Moving—Safely and Reliably

In today’s high-traffic facilities, ADA compliance isn’t optional—it’s operational. Retail storefronts, healthcare campuses, corporate offices, and educational facilities all face the same challenge: how to deliver hands-free, accessible entry without sacrificing durability, safety, or design flexibility.

That’s where Security Door Controls (SDC) and its EntryControl™ AUTO Series Low Energy Swing Door Operators stand out—engineered specifically for low-power door control in high-use environments.

Designed for High Traffic, Built for Compliance

Single-Door-ADA-high-low-and-auto-operator3-copyThe AUTO Series is purpose-built to help facilities meet U.S. and Canadian ADA requirements for door installation while accommodating constant daily use. These low-energy operators provide smooth, predictable motion that improves accessibility for everyone—wheelchair users, mobility-assisted pedestrians, delivery staff, and visitors carrying bags or equipment.

Hands-free activation through push plates or sensors reduces congestion at entrances while improving hygiene and user comfort—especially critical in healthcare and education settings.

 

Smarter Operation, Simpler Installation

At the heart of the AUTO Series is a self-tuning, microprocessor-based controller that automatically adapts to door conditions. With non-handed operation, push or pull arm models, and slotted back plates, installers can streamline retrofits without complex field adjustments.

Pre-drilled mounting holes and a fixed mounting bolt allow a single technician installation, reducing labor time while maintaining consistent performance across multiple openings.

True Integration at the Point of Entry

LR100ELRkits250x160High-traffic doors often require more than automation alone. The AUTO Series includes a built-in 1 Amp+, 24VDC power supply, supporting seamless integration with access control systems, electrified locks, fire alarms, and presence sensors.

 

 

Onboard lock sequencing ensures doors open and close in the correct order, helping facilities maintain safe egress, secure entry, and ADA-compliant operation—even during peak traffic hours.

Reducing Risk While Improving Flow

For facilities concerned with liability, every AUTO Series operator can be paired with an AUTO-IR presence sensor, helping detect door-side activity and mitigate contact risks. This added layer of protection is especially valuable in environments with vulnerable occupants or continuous foot traffic.

ADA Compliance That Scales

Whether you’re retrofitting a single storefront or standardizing door automation across an entire campus, the EntryControl™ AUTO Series delivers reliable, low-energy door control for virtually any point of entry—without over-engineering or excessive power demands.

High traffic. High expectations. High ADA compliance—right at the door.
