Product and AAADM Training FAQs

  • NABCO Entrances administers NABCO Product training classes at our Wisconsin training facility. Applicants can submit a request for training here. To receive certification, a candidate must participate in the course and pass an exam with an 80% or better score.

To become an AAADM-certified inspector, you must complete and pass an AAADM training class. Applicants can submit a request for training here. The certified training offered by NABCO Entrances can be divided into two distinct types. These are:

  • Certifications vary depending on the type of class chosen. NABCO Product Training lasts about three days, and AAADM Inspector Certification and Audit Training take two days.

  • NABCO Product Training involves exposure to installing and servicing techniques used on NABCO automatic door systems.
  • AAADM Training involves classes focused on applicable ANSI standards to improve and promote safety on automatic door systems.

  • It depends upon your point of view. Is it necessary to operate a successful and reputable automatic door company? Absolutely! It is required by law—not that we have seen. We are not lawyers, so you must check your local regulations.

ADA Requirements FAQs

  • While not required, automatic doors are often the best option for providing access. They enable your customers and employees to have barrier-free access to your facilities. Click Here to learn more.

  • The ADA states that public and common-use areas must be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities. We think the best way to ensure accessibility is to use an Automatic Door. Check out ADA.gov for a complete list of details and requirements for public buildings.

Upgrade Your Door FAQs

  • Low-energy doors are used for barrier-free ADA access, and knowing-act switches are used for activation. Safety sensors can be used as optional devices. Full automatic doors, such as those used in grocery stores and airports, are equipped with activation sensors to open the door and safety sensors to monitor pedestrians as they pass through the opening.

  • A sensor is an electronic device designed to detect the presence or movement of a person in the vicinity of the doorway and give a control signal to the power-operated door.

  • Hermetic Doors are designed for high-level hygiene control applications. Examples include infection control in operating rooms or industrial applications such as clean rooms, laboratories, and pharmaceutical facilities.

  • Hurricane-rated products are labeled with a sticker indicating Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA).

  • Pricing varies depending on various factors, including configuration, size, finish, and glass type. Call your local NABCO branch for pricing.

  • A hurricane impact door has been tested to resist wind-driven airborne debris (large and small missile impacts).

  • An approved agency has tested a hurricane-rated door system to withstand hurricane-level wind loads (Non-impact) or hurricane-level wind loads and impact resistance (Impact).

Upgrade Automatic Folding Door Systems FAQs

  • Standard folding door opening sizes range from 32″ to 48″ for a single fold to 52-1/2″ to 82-1/2″ for a bifold.

  • The advantage of a folding door is that it can provide up to 80% of clear door opening for a given frame width, which is far more than a sliding door, for instance.

Upgrade Automatic Sliding Door Systems FAQs

  • The price of a standard sliding glass door varies widely depending on the opening size, the materials (frame, motor, and glass), safety sensors, and the prevailing labor rates in the locality where the door is installed. Call your local NABCO Branch or Distributor for an estimate.

  • Standard sliding door openings range from 36″ to 48″ for a single slide and from 52-1/4″ to 100-1/4″ for a biparty.

  • Rough openings can range from approximately 7ft up to 18ft.

  • A telescoping sliding door is like a standard sliding door but has multiple panels (typically 3 or 6) that move to the same side while staying on the same plane as each other. Telescoping sliding doors can slide to one side or two sides.

Upgrade Automatic Swing Door Operator System FAQs

  • Automatic door systems react to two types of door activation devices: knowing-act and non-knowing-act. A push switch is an example of the former, and a sensor is an example of the latter. A signal from either of these device types will cause the automatic door to open.

Preventative Maintenance FAQs

  • Unlike reactive maintenance, preventative maintenance is a beneficial, cost-saving approach to extending the life cycle of your equipment. NABCO’s Preventative Maintenance Program protects your investment with regularly scheduled service visits to inspect, maintain, and replace worn components before they fail, reducing unexpected equipment downtime. Proactive scheduled maintenance is fundamental to preventing unexpected issues and equipment downtime. Our professional, friendly service team will help you choose the correct maintenance plan based on your equipment’s age and condition, the volume of pedestrian traffic, and your geographic location. Make NABCO your preferred service provider for peace of mind, optimum convenience, and safety for those who use your automatic doors.

  • NABCO Installers, Servicers, and Repair Team members will include a Daily Inspection Checklist for every consultation and repair service. NABCO offers preventative maintenance services by visiting locations twice a year. Contact your local NABCO branch for an estimate.
