Why Charleston businesses call us for automatic doors

We're a licensed and insured locksmith team serving Charleston, Summerville, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Automatic door work sits between locksmithing and door hardware - exactly where our experience lives.

Licensed & insured, locally

Every visit is covered and code-aware. We know Charleston's coastal humidity chews through sensors and gears, and we service accordingly.

Family-run Kadosh team

You get the same trained technicians on install day and every service call after - no rotating subcontractors guessing at your system.

Credentialed & accredited

BBB accredited and ALOA members, with Mul-T-Lock and Lockly certifications backing the locking hardware paired to your automatic doors.

Free estimates

We diagnose the operator, sensors, and safety beams before quoting - so you pay for the actual fix, not a rip-and-replace.

Automatic door services we handle

Sliding entrances, swing operators, revolving doors, and low-energy ADA openers for offices, retail, medical, and warehouse spaces.

Automatic Door Installation

New sliding or swing operators sized to your door weight and daily traffic, wired with safety sensors and set to the correct open/hold/close timing.

Repair & Troubleshooting

Doors that won't open, slam shut, reverse randomly, or ghost-trigger - we chase it to the sensor, motor, belt, or control board.

Sensor & Safety Beam Service

Motion and presence sensor alignment, safety beam replacement, and anti-entrapment adjustments to keep doors AAADM-compliant.

Operator & Motor Rebuilds

Worn gears, tired belts, and failing motors replaced so a functioning door frame doesn't get scrapped over one component.

Access Control Integration

Pair automatic doors with card readers, keypads, and Mul-T-Lock/Lockly hardware so entries lock, log, and open on schedule.

How our automatic door service works

1

Call & describe the door

Tell us the door type, symptom, and location. We'll confirm parts likely needed and book a window that fits your business hours.

2

On-site diagnosis

We test the operator, sensors, safety beams, and locking hardware, then give you a clear free estimate before any work starts.

3

Repair or install

Approved work is done on the spot when parts are on the truck. Larger operator swaps are scheduled fast, often same-week.

4

Safety test & sign-off

We cycle the door, verify open/hold/close timing and entrapment protection, and walk you through what changed.

Pro tip: catch automatic door failures before they trap you

Most emergency automatic-door calls in Charleston start as ignored warning signs. Watch for these three:

  • Doors that hesitate or "hunt" when opening usually mean a sensor is drifting out of alignment - cheap to fix now, a stuck-open door later.
  • Grinding or clicking from the header points to a worn gear or dry track. Salt air accelerates this near the coast.
  • Doors closing faster than a person can walk through are a safety-timing problem, not "just annoying" - it's an AAADM entrapment concern.

Book a maintenance visit when you first notice any of these and you'll almost always avoid an after-hours breakdown.

Automatic door service FAQs

Yes - sliding automatic entrances, swing-door operators, low-energy ADA openers, and revolving doors for retail, medical, office, and warehouse settings. We service the operator, sensors, safety beams, tracks, and the locking hardware paired to them.

Our estimates are free. We diagnose the actual fault on-site and give you a clear price before any work begins, so you're never surprised by the invoice.

It can be. Close timing and hold-open times are safety settings. A door closing too quickly can strike or trap someone and often signals a control or sensor issue. We adjust timing and verify anti-entrapment protection on every visit.

Yes. As Mul-T-Lock and Lockly certified locksmiths, we integrate card readers, keypads, and smart locks so your automatic door can auto-lock, open on schedule, and log access - all wired to the door's operator.

For high-traffic commercial doors we recommend service at least twice a year - and more often near the coast, where salt air and humidity wear sensors and gears faster. Regular tune-ups prevent most emergency breakdowns.
