Attractive and Secure Automatic Doors for Retail Environments

Door Services Corporation has your retail store door needs covered with automatic doors for retail applications that combine style, safety, and dependable performance.

Whether you operate a small boutique or a large shopping center, your storefront door is more than an entry point — it sets the tone for your entire retail environment. We work with retail businesses to improve security, appearance, and functionality with professional door installation, repair, and maintenance.

What Is a Commercial Storefront Door?

A commercial storefront door serves as the main entry for any retail establishment. It must handle high volumes of foot traffic while maintaining an attractive appearance. From glass doors that offer visibility to security doors that protect against forced entry attempts, the right choice depends on your retail space needs.

How Wide Are Storefront Doors? 

Storefront doors vary in size depending on type. For example, revolving doors range from 6 to 16 feet in diameter. Smaller models work well for security and controlled access, while larger units, like those more than 10 feet in diameter, suit busy facilities such as airports or large retail stores.

What Makes an Ideal Storefront Entrance Door? 

An ideal store front door combines durability, visual appeal, and functionality. Often built from aluminum or steel these entrances encourage potential customers to walk in while meeting all operational needs. The right choice balances accessibility, security, and style.

Types of Storefront Doors

The right storefront doors depend on your location, customer flow, and type of retail application.

Sliding Doors 

Perfect for high-traffic facilities, automatic sliding doors allow shoppers to enter and exit quickly. These sliding glass doors offer visibility into your store, attracting customers before they step inside. Sliding doors are the perfect solution for storefronts that want quick and easy access. Sliding doors reduce wait times at the store, which means higher customer satisfaction. They can be installed on both the inside and outside of a storefront, allowing customers to quickly enter and exit without having to manually open a door. Large offices and retail environments often choose glass door models for both convenience and natural light.

Horton Automatics® and Anthony now offer the Automatic Beer Cave Door for walk-in cooler applications. This interior door includes motion sensors for two-way traffic.

Swing Doors

A swing door is popular for access control and smooth customer flow. 

Automatic swing doors can be fitted with sensors that detect movement or body heat and open when triggered. These sensors allow passageways to remain open while customers move through them but close quickly once they have passed, increasing safety and security. In addition, some models are equipped with an emergency “break-away” feature that allows for a much larger opening for foot traffic,  in case of fire or other emergency.

Furthermore, these types of doors can be programmed with different speeds depending on customer needs and offer the added benefit of low energy consumption due to their efficient motors and small  power consumption. With great design flexibility, it’s easy to see why automatic swing doors are a good choice for a retail establishment. 

Revolving Doors

 Revolving doors are ideal for high-traffic retail environments. They’re designed to provide customers with an effortless and safe entrance and exit experience by revolving in one direction. Since they are see-through, you can see who is entering and exiting the building at all times, which is a nice safety feature.

Unlike sliding doors or other types of automatic entrance systems, revolving doors provide better weather control, reduce energy loss from drafts or climate change through the storefront and eliminate the possibility of the door being blocked open by a breeze. Revolving doors provide bi-directional operation for both entry and exit into your facility. They can also offer significant cost savings by minimizing air conditioning and heat loss. Compared to swing doors, revolving doors reduce over 500% of unwanted air from infiltrating the inside of a building. 

Revolving doors are also preferred over sliding abilities because they significantly reduce street noise and don’t require extra space for their operation. If you’re looking for an efficient door system for your retail business that provides both convenience and aesthetics then revolving doors are an excellent option to consider.

I dealt with this company for the last 6 years. Great services with amazing committed team.

Customer Review

ADA Compliance

Storefront entrances must meet ADA standards. Revolving doors require an adjacent accessible entrance. Automatic sliding doors need at least 32 inches of clear opening, and swing doors must meet width requirements.

What Shoppers Expect in Storefront Entry Systems

Shoppers want attractive, easy-to-use entrance doors that give them a glimpse of your products. A well-designed custom door can increase foot traffic and improve the first impression for every potential customer.

Frequently asked questions

Storefront doors vary in size depending on a lot of things. For instance, how big is your retail store? If your establishment is of a smaller size, then it’s likely that you don’t need a massive 16-foot door in the front of your store. However, larger retail giants, grocery stores, and superstores are well-known for their large glass storefronts.

Commercial doors are designed for high-traffic areas in business and public spaces. They include a variety of types, such as revolving, swinging, automatic, and sliding doors, commonly found in retail stores, hospitals, office buildings, and other facilities. Commercial doors are built for durability and often come with safety and accessibility features to meet the needs of diverse clientele.

For busy public entrances such as shopping centers or large retail stores, an automatic sliding door or revolving door is often the best choice. An automatic sliding door system provides smooth, fast access, while a security revolving door helps maintain climate control and adds an extra layer of safety. Both options can be configured with security systems for enhanced protection.

Yes. A well-installed automatic door system can integrate with your access control system to help prevent unauthorized entry.
