TOUCHLESS ENTRY APPLICATIONS
Healthcare Facilities
OR entries, ICU corridor doors, medication rooms, and procedure areas where gloved or gowned staff cannot touch door hardware. Infection control protocol compliant.
Food Processing and Kitchens
Commercial kitchens, food production floors, and cold storage entries where cross-contamination from door handles is a hygiene and regulatory concern.
Corporate Lobbies and Offices
Main building entries, cafeteria doors, and restroom corridors where reducing high-touch surface contact improves occupant hygiene and ADA compliance.
ADA Accessible Entrances
Wave-activated automatic openers satisfy ADA requirements for operable without grasping or twisting. ANSI/BHMA A156.19 compliant low-energy operators available.
HOW A TOUCHLESS WAVE ENTRY INSTALLATION WORKS
-
Door Hardware and Opener Assessment
We evaluate the door's existing hardware, frame, and whether an automatic opener is present. Doors without an opener require a low-energy or full-power automatic operator installed alongside the wave sensor.
-
Sensor and Opener Selection
Wave sensor selected based on detection range requirements, mounting position, and false-activation risk profile. Optex for precision zones, Camden Door Controls for hospital-grade reliability, Seco-Larm for high-traffic commercial. Opener specified for door weight and traffic volume.
-
Hardware Installation and Wiring
Sensor mounted at correct ADA-compliant height, wired to automatic opener activation input or access control panel trigger input. Automatic opener installed and adjusted for ANSI/BHMA opening speed and force.
-
Detection Zone Calibration
Sensor sensitivity and detection zone tuned to minimize false activations from passing foot traffic. Tested from all approach angles including wheelchair approach. Adjacent corridor traffic tested to verify no unintended activation.
-
Staff Training and ADA Documentation
Facility staff trained on sensor operation and maintenance schedule. ADA compliance documentation provided noting sensor mounting height, activation zone dimensions, and opener specifications for accessibility compliance records.
HEALTHCARE AND FOOD SERVICE HYGIENE
Door Handles Are the Most Frequently Contaminated Surfaces in Healthcare Facilities. Remove Them From the Equation.
Published infection control research consistently identifies door hardware as a high-contact transmission surface. In operating room corridors, ICU units, and procedure rooms, staff move between sterile and non-sterile zones dozens of times per shift. Every door handle contact in those transitions is a potential contamination event. Wave-to-open entry removes the contact point entirely.
For food processing environments in Texas, touchless entry at kitchen and production floor access points eliminates a category of cross-contamination risk that hand-hygiene protocols cannot fully address once gloves are in use. FDA food safety guidelines identify door handles as a frequent source of cross-contamination in food handling areas. Touchless wave sensors at those access points address the risk at the hardware level, not the procedure level.
- OR and procedure room entries: no glove-to-handle contact during sterile technique
- Food production access: FDA cross-contamination risk addressed at the hardware level
- High-frequency cleaning compatible: no mechanical parts to corrode from sanitizing agents
- Retroactively installable on existing doors: no structural modification required in most cases

I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

Excellent service and high quality items! Roland was able to get me this key fob AND program it for a great price. Rechargeable fob is a lot more convenient than having to replace the battery every time it dies. Thank you !

I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

TOUCHLESS WAVE ENTRY FAQ
What is a touchless wave entry system?
A touchless wave entry system uses a motion detector, typically a passive infrared or microwave sensor mounted above or beside a door, that activates the door's automatic opener or access control release when a person waves their hand in the sensor's detection zone. No card, no PIN, no physical contact with any surface. The wave gesture is detected within 1 to 3 seconds, the access control system receives a trigger signal, and the door unlocks and opens automatically or the electromagnetic lock releases. Some installations combine a wave sensor with a credential reader: the credential authenticates, then the wave opens the door hands-free.
Where are touchless wave entry systems most commonly installed in Texas?
Healthcare facilities are the primary application in Texas: operating room entries, ICU corridor doors, medication room access, and any door where staff carry items or require gowned hands-free passage. Food processing and commercial kitchen environments use them for hygiene compliance where hand contact with surfaces must be minimized. Corporate offices use them at lobby doors, cafeteria entries, and restroom corridors to reduce high-touch surfaces. Post-pandemic retrofits in Austin and Houston office buildings frequently add wave sensors to main entry points as a permanent hygiene feature.
Does touchless wave entry require an automatic door opener?
For full hands-free operation, yes. The wave sensor triggers a signal that needs to activate something: an automatic door opener (low-energy or full-power), an electromagnetic lock release, or an electrified strike. If the door already has an automatic opener, we connect the wave sensor to the opener's activation input. If the door uses an electromagnetic lock with an existing access control panel, the wave sensor connects to the panel as an input that triggers the door release. For doors that are push-pull manual, an automatic low-energy operator must be added for the wave entry to function.
How do you prevent false activations from people walking nearby?
Detection zone configuration is the key. Motion sensors have adjustable sensitivity and detection range, typically set to activate only within 12 to 18 inches of the wave gesture zone. Sensors mounted at the correct height and angle minimize side-approach false triggers. Bi-level sensors that require both upper and lower zone activation reduce false triggers from passing foot traffic. We tune each sensor during installation, testing for false activation from adjacent corridors and high-traffic paths before the installation is accepted.
Can touchless entry be combined with an access control credential requirement?
Yes, and this is the recommended configuration for controlled-access areas. The user presents their card or mobile credential to authenticate, then waves to open the door. Authentication confirms they are authorized; the wave opens the door hands-free after the authentication succeeds. This two-step process also provides an audit log: the credential swipe ties the door open event to a specific person. Pure wave-to-open without credential authentication is appropriate for general-use doors where occupancy is unrestricted but contact with door handles needs to be minimized.
What are the ADA compliance requirements for wave entry systems?
ADA requires that accessible entrances be operable without grasping, pinching, or twisting. A wave-activated automatic door opener satisfies this requirement. The wave sensor must be mounted at a reachable height per ADA 308, typically between 15 and 48 inches above the floor. The activation zone must be accessible from a wheelchair approach angle. Low-energy automatic openers must meet ANSI/BHMA A156.19 standards for opening force and speed. We design wave entry installations to meet ADA technical specifications and note compliance in our project documentation.
How reliable are wave entry sensors in high-traffic commercial environments?
Commercial-grade sensors from Optex, Camden Door Controls, and Seco-Larm are rated for continuous operation in commercial environments. MTBF ratings for quality sensors run in the hundreds of thousands of cycles. The main maintenance requirement is lens cleaning, particularly in dusty industrial or food processing environments where particulate accumulation can reduce sensitivity or cause false triggers. We recommend a quarterly inspection schedule for healthcare and industrial installations. Sensor replacement, when needed, typically runs 30 to 60 minutes per door.
Can touchless entry integrate with our existing access control system?
Yes. Wave sensors provide a dry-contact output that connects to existing access control panels as a request-to-exit or door-trigger input. Most commercial access control platforms including Lenel, Software House, Brivo, and Genetec support these inputs natively. The access control panel logs the input event, which records the door release alongside any credential event. We confirm input availability on your panel during the site survey and identify any panels that require an expansion module to support additional inputs.
