Touchless Door Opener

Technology enabling door operation without physical contact, important for hygiene and accessibility. Touchless systems use motion sensors, foot switches, elbow pulls, or smartphone apps to activate automatic doors or electric releases.

Activation methods include wave-to-open sensors (infrared or microwave), foot pedals, arm/elbow pulls, and mobile apps (Bluetooth or WiFi). These maintain hygiene in healthcare facilities, food service, and post-pandemic commercial environments.

Retrofit options allow adding touchless activation to existing doors with operators or electric strikes. Battery-powered wireless sensors simplify installation. Related: automatic door, door operator, key card reader. Shop touchless systems.
