Kanata automatic door installs usually fall into two practical buckets: office and commercial buildings that need the operator tied into card or fob access, and retail or service entries along Hazeldean and Terry Fox that need a high-cycle sliding or swing system built for daily volume. We size and install for the opening in front of us — traffic, wind exposure, and whether a reader has to release before the leaf moves.
Automatic door operators diagnosed and repaired for Ottawa clinics, offices, and retail.
On many Kanata office jobs, the automatic door is only half the entrance. The lobby may open freely or with a visitor release, while interior corridor or suite doors use a different reader or keypad. We plan the operator and the electrified lock together so a valid credential releases the strike and the leaf starts in the right order — work that ties into our access control and electric strike services.
Before we specify the operator, we confirm how the door is supposed to unlock — reader type, strike or maglock, and whether the leaf must release on power loss for egress. Matching the operator control board to the existing access platform avoids the expensive after-the-fact integration problems that show up when a generic header is dropped onto a controlled entrance.
For Kanata retail automatic door installations — the Kanata Centrum anchors, the Hazeldean strip commercial tenancies, and the growing retail base along Terry Fox Drive — the critical specification variable is cycle rating. An automatic sliding door system installed in a high-traffic Kanata grocery entry will accumulate its rated service cycles in a fraction of the calendar time that the same system would take in a medium-traffic application. Specifying a system with adequate cycle rating for the specific Kanata retail traffic volume prevents the premature failures that under-specified systems produce.
We assess each Kanata retail automatic door installation’s projected cycle count based on the store’s estimated daily traffic, and we specify drive systems, sensor packages, and control boards that are rated for that count with appropriate margin. The cost difference between a correctly specified and an under-specified system is always less than the cost of replacing an under-specified system ahead of schedule.
Every automatic door installation we carry out in Kanata includes header heater specification on exposed exterior installations. Kanata’s western location means automatic door header units on exposed entries face sustained cold that produces condensation infiltration without header heating. We treat header heating as a standard Kanata installation component rather than an optional upgrade.

We size the drive system, sensor package and header weatherproofing to Kanata's actual exposure and traffic, serving Kanata office buildings and high-traffic retail along Hazeldean and Terry Fox. West-end cold and wind are treated as design factors, not afterthoughts.
Yes. We specify operators and control boards compatible with card readers, mobile credentials and fail-secure/fail-open egress requirements. For the access-control side see access control installation and electric strike installation.
Busy Kanata grocery and pharmacy entries accumulate their rated cycles far faster than average commercial use, so we specify drive systems and control boards with adequate cycle margin to prevent premature failure.
On exposed exterior entries, yes — header heating is a standard Kanata specification that prevents the condensation infiltration sustained cold otherwise produces, not an optional upgrade.

Every Kanata installation is backed by our written workmanship guarantee plus the manufacturer's warranty on the operator. If the system isn't performing as specified, we come back and correct it.
Most Kanata installs are completed in a day once the unit is on site — longer if the opening needs framing or electrical work first. We confirm the schedule and a flat-rate price before starting.
