Many people worry that when the power goes out, the door may become locked shut, disrupting traffic flow or preventing safe evacuation in an emergency. In reality, modern automatic door systems are designed with multiple backup mechanisms to ensure users can continue entering and exiting safely even when the power supply is interrupted. So, how do automatic doors operate during a power outage? What options are available for opening the door, and what should be considered to ensure the system remains safe and reliable?
