Doormatic | Tool Free Automatic Door Opener

Though not always necessary, one of the most useful assistive devices available in terms of convenience is an automatic door opener. In narrow spaces or when hands are full they can make getting through a door so much easier. For residential purposes, automatic door openers involve expensive equipment and drilling into structure. Rental properties might discourage this and some people may not want to put holes in their door or walls. For those people a new option is now available from Drive Medical. Doormatic is a bottom mounted automatic door opener that requires no tools for installation.

Stick On Installation
Unlike other door openers that push and pull a door from the top with an arm, Doormatic pushes and pulls a door from the bottom with a motor and wheels. Installation is simple with a slide on mount that sticks onto the door. The Doormatic unit then slides onto the mount. Installation finished.

Operation
To operate Doormatic, a person just pushes or pulls on the door. Doormatic then opens the door and closes automatically. For better convenience, an optional remote control or motion sensor are available. Door opening time and speed can be programmed in.

Things to Consider
Remember though that since it’s bottom mounted, Doormatic can take up valuable clear width space. So I would recommend use on at least a 36 inch wide door or a 32 inch wide door that can open beyond 90°. Also the harder the floor surface the better Doormatic will work. Moving on some higher pile carpet might be difficult. Doormatic is also battery powered so periodic charging is necessary.

Conclusion
For those who want the convenience of an automatic door opener without the high expense or installation, Doormatic is a viable option. Just be sure your door width and floor work are compatible.
