Built on Decades of Field Experience in Commercial Door Service
Door Automation Corp has been serving commercial properties since the 1970s. What started as a family business built around hands-on field work has grown into a full-service commercial entrance operation covering New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey. The company has remained family-led through that growth, and the approach has not changed: technicians who know the equipment, communication that stays clear, and service that holds up after the job is done.
Over the decades, Door Automation Corp has built a track record across a wide range of commercial entrance types and building categories. Hospitals, office buildings, retail properties, shopping centers, hotels, government facilities, and educational institutions across the region have relied on us for repair, maintenance, installation, and inspection work that meets both operational and code requirements.

About Josh Gatoff, Owner and President
Josh Gatoff grew up around the automatic and manual door business. He worked at the family company during summers throughout high school, stayed on after graduating from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and has been in the field ever since. From his earliest days on the job, Josh worked side by side with the technicians he now relies on, doing service and installations directly rather than managing from a distance.
That background shapes how Door Automation Corp operates today. Josh sees his role as the connection between clients and the field team, keeping communication clear and expectations honest on both sides. The job is not finished when the truck leaves, it is finished when the entrance works the way the client needs it to.
"You're nothing without your team."
Josh Gatoff, Owner and President, Door Automation Corp
That philosophy extends to client relationships as well. Long-term accounts, repeat service calls, and multi-location contracts are built on the same principle: consistent people doing consistent work, with accountability that goes beyond a single repair visit.
A family history in the door business
Door Automation Corp has been family-owned and operated since the 1970s. The business was founded on practical field knowledge and a straightforward service model that prioritized getting entrances working correctly over upselling unnecessary work. That foundation has carried through every decade of operation and every expansion of the service territory.
As the company has grown to cover more of the commercial landscape across New York and New Jersey, the core operating approach has remained consistent. Technicians are trained on a broad range of entrance systems, service relationships are maintained over time rather than reset with every call, and communication from the ownership level is directly accessible to clients who need it.

The post on why automatic door certification matters covers the standards background that informs our approach to inspection and compliance work.
