Door-Aid Corporation, based in Portage
Michigan, is the manufacturer of the Door-Aid, a retrofit power door
opener. The Door-Aid was designed to meet ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) guidelines for ease of door entry and exit for the
handicapped. It not only meets those guidelines but is also purchased
for residential use and for commercial use to accommodate shoppers in
general and people with small children.
What problems does Door-Aid solve?
Exterior Use:
When an outside door closer is adjusted
properly to close a door pushing against internal air pressure, the
force a physically disabled person must exert typically exceeds ADA
door-pull requirements. Door-Aid solves this problem.
Interior Use:
Door-Aid can make interior areas such as
bathrooms and doorways accessible even when clearances do not comply
with ADA requirements.

offset hinge, center pivot and other types of hinge style doors to
ensure installation in virtually any situation. The Door-Aid can be
mounted on the left or right side of the door frame, irrespective of
which way the doors opens. The Door-Aid can be installed to push a door
open or to pull it open. The Door-Aid controller can be used to activate
more than one door simultaneously.

Wireless, remote-controlled push-pads
simplify and reduce cost of installation by eliminating need for wiring.

low-energy door openers, meets ADA requirements and is UL recognized.
