What are Automatic Door Retrofit Kits?

Do you have an automatic sliding door system in your business? If so, you may be wondering if it’s possible to retrofit it with a newer, more energy-efficient system. Automatic Door Retrofit Kits from Automation Products & Accessories Ltd are the perfect solution for most makes and models of automatic doors. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what Automatic Door Retrofit Kits are and how they can help you save money on your energy bills!

What is it?

Where an existing automatic door has failed but the original equipment is obsolete or uneconomical then the doors themselves can be re-used and the operating motor and control systems replaced with a Retrofit Kit. This option provides a cost-effective alternative to replacing the door in its entirety.

Universal Component Retro-fit Kit

What is included in a retrofit kit?

  • Universal motor bracket

  • Universal idler pulley

  • Two x belt clamps

  • 1 x 5mtr of 8mm pitch x 10mm wide belt

  • One pre-built module plate with Control panel, PSU, & Battery’s

  • 1 x Dunker Motor

  • 1 x 4 position key switch

  • Various Fixings

When are they used?

An inexpensive alternative to buying new stuff is to upgrade the old stuff you have. This is called retrofitting. Retrofitting means replacing all of the old, outdated equipment with new equipment that works better. If the track and wheels on your sliding door are still in good condition, it’s a good idea to do a retrofit. Automation Products & Accessories Ltd is now proud to introduce our “EZI-FIT” modular retrofitting system for a wide range of machines.

What makes our kits different?

Our kit comes fully assembled and ready to install, unlike other kits that arrive as a set of parts. Each kit is tailored to a specific brand or model, making it “EZ” to install. We’ve created a straightforward purpose-built module system that contains all of the major components and simply matches with the current motor and control equipment.

Is it better than redesigning?

Spending more on your fixtures is not always the best option. Updating rather than replacing them will save you money in both short-term expenses and long term costs, with savings up to 75%. If this isn’t possible then at least try retrofitting – it’s much cheaper!

Installation

We use motor belt pulleys that are specific to the operator. This allows us to reuse the existing drive and return belts. The entire process makes it easier to install the product. It usually takes less than an hour to complete. The control system is totally configurable via the onboard LCD display, which uses clear English instead of difficult error codes or letters. EZI-FIT retro-fitting modules enable you to quickly and economically upgrade existing door systems to the most recent EN 16005 standard.
