An automatic door can be a saving grace for businesses looking to add security and accessibility. However, there’s plenty of misconceptions about automatic doors that prevent business owners from putting a stake in the ground and making a purchase. Let’s dismiss some common misconceptions about automatic sliding doors.

Expensive

It’s no secret that automatic sliding doors cost more than conventional, commercial doors. However, automatic doors can save you money in the long run. Although they cost more upfront, they will save you enough money to make your investment worthwhile. With proper automatic door repair and maintenance along the way, a business can increase its number of customers and save on energy bills.

Costly Maintenance

Another myth is that auto sliding doors require expensive maintenance. However, if you find a proper repair and maintenance specialist, their services won’t break the bank and their professionalism is worth the money. It’s recommended that you schedule regular appointments for a professional to perform upkeep on these doors so that an expensive repair doesn’t happen later down the road.

Drafty

A third myth is that automatic sliding glass doors are drafty and will let heat or air escape the business. Luckily, the exact opposite of this is true. Automatic sliding doors actually keep air and heat within the business more than standard doors. Your energy bill will thank you for conserving and managing energy expenses. Your customers will also enjoy this added benefit. As soon as they walk through your doors they’ll experience air or heat that adds to their overall comfortability. Happy customers mean a higher customer retention and more revenue for your business in the long run.

If you’re considering the addition of automatic sliding doors, don’t believe all the misconceptions you may have heard regarding them. Not only will automatic sliding doors save you money, but they’ll add customer comfortability and, therefore, customer retention.
