What Is an AAADM Inspection?

An AAADM inspection evaluates whether automatic doors are operating in accordance with recognized safety expectations for pedestrian use. Inspections focus on sensor performance, opening and closing speeds, activation zones, signage, and overall system behavior.

While AAADM itself does not enforce laws, its inspection standards are widely referenced by manufacturers, service providers, insurers, and facility managers as a benchmark for safe automatic door operation.

Our inspection procedures align with guidance published by the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM).

AAADM inspections are often performed alongside routine commercial automatic door service to confirm safe operation and address issues before they become failures.
