Why Choose Automatic Doors?
Research Proves 98.9% of Consumers Prefer Automatic Doors

By design, automatic doors provide easier, more convenient access than manual doors. The public’s overwhelming preference for automatic doors is demonstrated in the results of AAADM’s recent research study. We surveyed 447 consumers. Participants in this study could be described as “Mr. and Mrs. Joe Average”. The group consisted of a cross-section of men and women, who reside in the United States, have an average family income and an average of two children per family. Results showed that of those people surveyed who indicated a preference, 98.9% prefer automatic doors.
