Accessible, Code-Compliant Doors for Commercial & Residential Spaces
Making your building accessible isn’t just good practice — it’s the law. At Altitude Door, we specialize in ADA-compliant door systems that meet federal accessibility requirements while enhancing the experience for every user.
Whether you're a business owner updating your entryway, a property manager preparing for inspection, or a homeowner improving accessibility, we install reliable, fully compliant doors tailored to your needs.
With over 35 years of combined experience, our team understands the technical requirements — and the real-world application — of ADA standards. We help ensure your space is safe, inclusive, and inspection-ready.
At Altitude Door, we offer a complete range of ADA-compliant door solutions for both new construction and retrofit projects:
Our ADA Door Installation Services
Push Plate & Push Button Systems
We install low-energy door operators activated by wall-mounted push plates or buttons — a simple, user-friendly way to meet ADA requirements and improve convenience.
Low-Energy Automatic Door Openers
These openers work with swinging doors and are ideal for healthcare facilities, offices, and schools. We ensure correct timing, closing speed, and safety integration.
Door Hardware Upgrades
We replace non-compliant handles, closers, and locks with ADA-approved alternatives that meet usability standards.
Door Widening & Framing Adjustments
If your existing door is too narrow or doesn’t allow proper clearance, we can widen the opening or modify the surrounding structure to comply.
Full ADA Entry System Installation
For new buildings or major upgrades, we provide end-to-end design and installation of accessible entry systems, including all hardware and electrical components.
ADA Compliance for Different Building Types
We work with a wide range of clients who need ADA-compliant doors, including:
- Retail and commercial spaces (required by law)
- Medical offices and clinics
- Municipal and government buildings
- Schools, daycares, and churches
- Apartment buildings and HOAs

Even if you’re not legally required to comply (such as in residential cases), ADA-compliant doors offer safety, ease of use, and better long-term value — especially for aging-in-place upgrades.

What Is an ADA-Compliant Door?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires certain buildings and businesses to provide accessible entry for individuals with disabilities. Doors must meet specific standards, including:
- Minimum clear width of 32 inches
- Maximum opening force (5 lbs for interior doors)
- Accessible hardware (levers, not knobs)
- Proper maneuvering clearance
- Smooth thresholds and flooring transitions
- Optional automatic operators or push-button access
If your door doesn’t meet these standards, you may be at risk of fines, legal action, or customer complaints — not to mention turning away people who need access the most.
Common ADA Door Issues We Fix
If your current door isn’t meeting accessibility needs, we can help. Some of the most common problems we solve include:
- Missing or malfunctioning push-button plates
- Doors too narrow or hard to open
- Heavy doors without automation
- Poorly placed hardware or switches
- ADA systems that no longer function after power or component failure
- Doors that don’t close properly or create tripping hazards
We’ll assess your setup and walk you through the best options — whether it’s a small hardware fix or a full entry upgrade.
FAQs – ADA-Compliant Doors
Are all businesses required to have ADA-compliant doors?
Most public-facing businesses and commercial buildings must provide accessible entry points. Requirements vary based on building type and renovations — we can help you determine what applies to your space.
Do ADA doors have to be automatic?
No — but if not automatic, they must meet guidelines for ease of use (light force, accessible hardware, etc.). Automatic or low-energy doors with push buttons are often the most convenient solution.
Can you install ADA doors in older buildings?
Yes. We frequently retrofit older structures to meet ADA requirements while preserving aesthetics and minimizing disruption.
How long does installation take?
Most ADA door upgrades can be completed in a day, depending on complexity. Full systems may take longer — we’ll provide a clear timeline before we start.
Can you integrate ADA access with other security systems?
Yes. We can integrate ADA-compliant doors with access control systems, intercoms, or timed locks as needed.
