Automatic Door Installation in Red Deer
In Red Deer, a new automatic entrance on the outside of a commercial building needs two City approvals before anyone cuts the opening. We line those up, then supply, install and commission the door.

Changing an exterior door on a commercial or industrial building in Red Deer usually takes a development permit and a building permit. The City won't issue the building permit until the development permit is in hand, so the order matters when you're working to an opening date.
Applications start in the City's MyPermits system, and plans are uploaded through ProjectDox. We give you the door, frame, operator and hardware details for that package, and schedule the install for after the permit is issued.
How an install runs
Site visit
We measure the opening and check the header, the floor, the power supply and how the entrance is used through the day.
Pick the entrance
Bi-parting or single slide, a swing operator, or a low-energy opener on a door you already have.
Permit package
Door and hardware details for MyPermits and ProjectDox, plus a Letter of Authorization if a tenant is applying.
Install and wire
Frame, header and operator go in, then sensors, push buttons, electric locking and any card reader.
Commission
We set speeds and safety zones, put the signs up and show your staff the daily check.

Who applies for the permit, us or you?
Usually the owner, tenant or general contractor applies, because they hold the overall project. We supply the door and hardware information the City asks for. If a tenant applies, the City needs a Letter of Authorization from the owner.
Can you install in a building that stays open?
Yes. Most of the work happens with the old door still in place or a temporary door set up, and we plan the switch-over for a quiet time of day.
Is the new door covered after install?
Each door gets a service record. A preventative maintenance plan adds the yearly AAADM inspection and seasonal tune-ups, if you want them handled for you.
