Frequently Asked Questions - ADA Residential Handicap Door Openers
How much does a residential ADA/handicap door opener cost?
For a residence, with a handheld remote and an electric strike for automatic open and close you will likely spend $2200 to $2500. Please be aware that inexpensive operators available on sites like Amazon are usually a long term nightmare.
