What is an auto sliding door?
An automatic sliding door moves horizontally along a track, opening and closing by sliding rather than swinging on hinges. It’s widely utilised for its space-saving attributes and aesthetic appeal, a popular choice for both interior and exterior uses.
Custom sliding doors are often crafted with expansive glass panels, promoting open views and an influx of natural light. Their designs are ideal for settings where space is limited or for a contemporary feel.

Can automated sliding doors be manually operated?
Yes, many automated sliding doors have a manual mode that allows them to be operated manually in the event of a power outage or for maintenance purposes.
Do automated sliding doors require regular maintenance?
