This single door automatic operator mounts on standard door frames to provide power-assisted opening where a manual door is too heavy to be usable. The Detex AO19-1 series handles medium to high-traffic applications where manual door operation creates accessibility barriers. Detex certifies the AO19 to ANSI/UL 325 and publishes A156.19 testing for low-energy power-operated doors.
The extruded aluminum case houses all operating components in a self-contained unit. Push and go activation responds when someone manually pushes the door open. Power close applies reverse force to help the door reach latch position reliably. The hanger plate design speeds installation on existing frames without major modifications.
Heavy-duty construction reduces service calls in high-abuse environments. The operator works with existing access control and locking systems through compatible signal interfaces. Adjustable delayed activation allows proper sequencing in vestibule applications, where egress timing has to be worked out for the pair of doors together.

Detex certifies the AO19 to ANSI/UL 325 and publishes A156.19 testing for low-energy power-operated doors. Whether a finished opening meets ADA depends on the whole assembly and its adjustment, not on the operator alone.
