Automatic doors provide a convenient and labor-free alternative to traditional doors, making them a popular choice in many settings. Professionally installed automatic doors are reliable and safe, and annual inspections can help keep doors dependable for the long term. Inspectors and service technicians certified by the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM) complete rigorous training programs and emerge with industry-leading credentials and a marketable set of skills.
Well-informed and trustworthy, AAADM-certified professionals maintain, repair, and update automatic doors. The AAADM’s member support network updates door technicians on changes in industry standards and technologies, so clients always receive cutting-edge service.
What is AAADM certification?
Two types of AAADM certification programs exist: the AAADM Certified Inspector Training Program, and the AAADM Revolving Door Inspector Certification Program. Both programs are designed to improve automatic door safety while giving customers access to qualified professionals for their installation, repair, or maintenance needs.
How do automatic door inspectors become certified?
Candidates must meet specific criteria to qualify for either the Certified Inspector Training Program or the Revolving Door Inspector Certification Program. To qualify for enrollment, professionals must have experience in the electrical or revolving door industry between 90 days and six months. If they have already completed the factory training courses offered by their AAADM-member employers, they may gain access to an AAADM certification program more quickly.
Courses take place nationwide on a regular basis. Qualified individuals will learn how to install, inspect, and maintain automatic doors to strict industry standards. Once individuals become AAADM-certified inspectors, they will need to renew their membership on a yearly basis.
Vortex is one of only door companiescertified to provide courses and certifications at their state-of-the-art Training Center.
Do automatic doors have a safety standard?
All members of the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers manufacture their automatic doors and components in compliance with the ANSI/BHMA Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors, ANSI/BHMA A156.10-2011. This consensus-developed standard defines and governs such things as installation, sensing devices, and safety requirements for automatic pedestrian doors.
Vortex will only dispatch highly-trained AAADM-certified inspectors/technicians to inspect, repair, service, or replace automatic doors. We ensure that we provide the most efficient and safest door repair possible for your business. All repairs will be performed in accordance with ANSI 156.10, so you can be confident that your doors are up to the current standard. If your doors are found to be out of compliance, we will let you know what needs to be done to provide a system that meets the ANSI 156.10 standard.
Straightforward and safe to operate, automatic doors make entrances more accessible for a wider range of people. The AAADM keeps its certified members informed of the latest changes in automatic door technology and ensures that its technicians and inspectors adhere to strict safety standards during initial installations and future services. Quality-oriented consumers choose AAADM-certified professionals whenever they need to repair, maintain, or replace their automatic doors.

Automatic commercial doors are essential for any business’s smooth operation. A high-quality set of automatic commercial doors can show off a particular impression, allowing customers and clients to feel more comfortable. Ultimately, the type of commercial door a business owner uses depends on their daily traffic volume.
Vortex Doors offers three types of automatic commercial doors: sliding, swinging and telescoping. What follows is a summary of each type of automatic door so that business owners can make an informed decision on the type that best suits their business.
Automatic Sliding Doors
Often found in grocery stores, hospitals or other retail establishments, automatic sliding doors provide a hands-free entrance into a business. The structure can consist of a single door sliding in one direction or a set of two doors that each slide in opposite directions away from each other. Automatic sliding doors deliver a huge benefit in energy savings, as the door only opens when a customer is entering or exiting. Automatic sliding doors are important for businesses that experience a high volume of foot traffic.
Automatic Telescoping Doors
These types of automatic entrances are useful in areas where space is at a premium, as they easily fit into smaller entryways. Automatic Telescoping Doors consist of a series of small panels that slide and stack upon each other to deliver a wide clearance space. These types of automatic doors are often found in banks, airports and municipal office buildings.
Automatic Swinging Doors
Specifically used to control the flow of traffic through an entrance or exit, automatic swinging doors often use guide railings to monitor the movement of pedestrian traffic. Double swinging doors are found in the interior areas of schools, apartment residences, and offices. They can be installed in exterior or interior areas and are an excellent choice for accommodating individuals with disabilities.
Automatic commercial doors are an essential part of any business design. The type of door that is needed is dependent on the amount of foot traffic, and location of the business.

Automatic doors are great for your business, but they can become a liability issue when not maintained according to industry standards or when they malfunction. Once installed, an automatic door is only as good as the technician who inspects and repairs it. When it’s time for your automatic door’s annual check-up, the easiest way to verify that the technician is capable of performing the inspection and/or repair properly is to ask to see their AAADM certification.
Protections Provided with AAADM Certification
The American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers, or AAADM, is a trade association offering certification courses for power-operated automatic door technicians with a minimum of ninety days prior experience in the pedestrian door industry. AAADM certified technicians have received extensive training related to every component involved in manufacturing doors.
They are qualified to perform proper inspections according to the current ANSI 156.10 Safety Standards. Utilizing these standards will ensure that your door system is equipped with the most recent technology available for both safety and reliability.
These certified technicians have the knowledge to efficiently troubleshoot problems and resolve them. Having on-the-job training along with course work and certification protects clients by providing well-seasoned technicians with the expertise necessary to keep your automatic doors operating smoothly and reduce injury and liability.
