We install and repair both low power and high power automatic door operators, with real experience across hospitals, school boards, and local businesses throughout British Columbia — not just Greater Vancouver. We’re one of the only companies that does both sides of automatic door work — the low-voltage automation and the locksmith side (cylinders, locks, hardware). Most automatic door companies aren’t licensed locksmiths, and most locksmiths aren’t AAADM certified. We’re both.

We hold a low-voltage license, which means we can pull the proper city permits for large-scale construction — hospitals, schools, and new commercial builds not just service calls on existing doors
Every technician joins with a minimum of two years of industry experience, then completes a two-month, in-house hands-on training program under our founder, Alan Bell a Red Seal Certified Locksmith and AAADM Certified Automation Inspector.
We’ve done automatic door work for hospitals, school boards, and local businesses across BC not just the Lower Mainland. From a 40-door Amazon facility in Burnaby to a full warehouse security upgrade on Vancouver Island, our real project experience spans the province.
Some companies install their own proprietary door operator brand cheap upfront, but they’re the only ones who can get parts for it. Once something breaks, you’re stuck paying whatever they charge, because no one else can service it. We install DITEC, a real, established global brand available through normal distribution meaning if you’re ever unhappy with us, any qualified company can step in and service your system. We’d rather earn your business every time than trap you into it.
An automatic door isn’t just a motor it still has a cylinder, a lock, a strike plate. Most automation companies have to call in a locksmith for that part, or skip it. We do both, in-house, one visit.
From an oversized sliding patio door project in Whistler (four people, a same-day parts run to Abbotsford, finished by 11pm) to replacing failed pivot hinges with heavy-duty continuous geared hinges for Tim Hortons and RBC branches we handle everything from single-door repairs to full commercial installs.
We’re an authorized dealer for DITEC Automation and AAADM certified. Our founder, Alan Bell, is a Certified Automation Inspector meaning we can issue official AAADM compliance documentation, not just install the hardware.
