GDA Slider Door System
For Sliding Patio Doors and Pocket Doors

This system was will move sliding patio doors or adapt to pocket doors with a custom pneumatic cylinder.  The control system senses an obstacle and relaxes pressure automatically while closing.  The doors function normally when opened and closed by hand.

The pneumatic tubing and the remote control system can be installed by anyone with modest do-it-yourself skills, or a general handyman can install the Slider. The system includes a wireless remote or it may be adapted to an existing control system. 

This door system works well for pocket, sliding, and barn door styles.  This system may be a good option for those with mobility, dexterity, or vision issues.  It also has a widespread application for allowing pets in and out of the home automatically or for those who wish to have a fully automated or "smart" home.

Controlled by compressed air, we recommend the Senco 0968, a small and relatively quiet air compressor which is able to power multiple doors.   It can be mounted up to 125 feet away from the doors.  An existing source of compressed air can be used for the Slider system. 

We are able to ship and distribute this door system world wide.  We service and install in the Greater Pittsburgh area. 

A version is available for doors up to 36 inches wide, and another for doors 37 to 42 inches.  Each package includes:
  • custom pneumatic opener
  • Liftmaster MyQ wireless controls
  • 100 feet air tubing
  • 12 VDC control box
  • 12 VDC Power Supply
  • compressor fitting
  • mounting hardware

If needed, additional tubing and connectors are available; please
