Low-energy door operators are a great product for locksmiths and other security professional to provide. They are used in new construction as well as frequently called for in retrofit situations, and are used primarily with swinging doors.

I’ve had the opportunity to troubleshoot existing low-energy operator installations, as well as perform new installations; all of which involved interfacing with access control systems and external safety sensors.
Although there is a learning curve associated with taking on any new products, there are analogies between the various products. The more you do the work, the more proficient you become.
As a locksmith who has been involved in both the physical and electronic sides of security, it has always been pretty amazing to me how little overlap there is between market ‘channels’.
For example, the community of vendors and dealers who do automatic door operators have little knowledge of similar technologies in the security market. But this is all changing with the trend towards convergence as mechanical and electronics are combined into single hybrid products.
