Dado Door

We offer custom motorized door solutions to suit most any sliding design. Our system is more than just an ordinary door automation. The Dado Automation system provides your entryway with a definitive "wow" factor. With an emphasis on quiet operation, reliability, and precise motion, our system is the perfect solution for high-end residential and commercial applications. The Dado Automation Track System will accommodate any size and type door panel, including glass, wood, and metal framed systems.

The development of the first door automation prototypes started in 2005, and in 2009 we showcased the product at the Dwell on Design Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Although the initial design was for a typical pocket door, various other designs have been done with the track system, including bi-parting TV panels, motorized bookshelves, large projector screen moving panels, room dividers, marine/yacht sliding doors.

Dado Automation does not provide installation services. The typical installation in handled by the General Contractor. All PDF files, including installation guides, are found on the DOWNLOADS link. For a basic overview of a standard pocket door application, please see the Framing Guide PDF. Typically, the install is done with the basic drawings found on the Downloads page. Consultation via email and phone is available to insure a smooth install process. Custom shop drawings can be prepared on request(depending on the complexity and time required to prepare such drawings, a design fee may be required).
