Pedestrian Automatic Door Modernization

What is Modernization

At Entrio Systems, modernization means taking your existing automatic doors — sliding, swing, or curved — and upgrading their internal systems to match today’s safety, performance, and technology standards.
We retrofit doors with Swiss-engineered control units, motors, sensors, and safety systems, revitalizing old installations and extending their operational life — without the cost, mess, or downtime of a full replacement.
