The Private-Door
Duo
Experience The Convenience Of Your Own
Personal Door Operator
Private-Door
enhances your life and simplifies your day
by removing the barriers that doors become.
With remote control convenience, you can
open the entrance door to your home and
avoid fumbling for keys when you are
carrying a child or articles. With
Private-Door, the door to your home will not
be an obstacle to your independence and
freedom of movement. The Private-Door Duo
requires an electric strike release to be
installed. Electric strike releases are best
suited when a door is being completely
replaced and do not work well with
retro-fits. To avoid a strike release see
The Private-Door System.
The Private-Door Duo
is designed to automate the entrance doors
to houses and townhouses at an affordable
price.
Features:
� Two Year Warranty.
� Optional Remote Control Available.
� 12-Volt Wiring eliminates expensive
electrical wiring.
� Obstruction Sensing stops door if contact
with an obstruction occurs.

manual operation of the door.

painted or stained.
� Easy to install with simple hand tools.
� Retro-fits virtually any existing door up
to 36 inches and 100 pounds.

� Zero Resistance: Private-Door powers the
door on the open and close cycle. No spring
closers needed as some competitors'
operators require.
� Minimum Force: Private-Door is designed to
use a surprisingly small amount of power to
reliably automate a full size door.
The Private-Door Duo requires no
high-voltage wiring.

How the
Private-Door Duo Operates

|
OPEN CYCLE
Step 1: Push
the remote control button to activate
the Private-Door.
Step 2: The Electric Strike Release
operates.
The electric strike release receives an
impulse from the Private-Door, releasing
the door latch. To read more about the

To avoid the
complicated installation an electric
strike release requires, see the
Private-Door
System.
Step 2: The
Door Assist pushes the door out of the
weather stripping.
�The Private-Door Assist� will break
the weather stripping's seal and push
the door out of the doorframe into the
�ajar position.�
Step 3: The
Solo opens the door. |

CLOSE CYCLE

Traditional
electric strike releases use a solenoid that
releases a hinged plate that swings out of
the way to provide clearance for the door
latch. The Private-Door Retracting Strike is
designed with an internal motor that pushes
(retracts) the door latch into the door. The
door latch is retracted the same as if the
handle was turned. Because the Private-Door
Electric Strike retracts the door latch it
maintains a stronger level of security then
a traditional strike release. Because
Private-Door Electric Strike retracts the
latch, the wood door frame and its trim does
not need to be cut for clearance. This
feature provides a cleaner appearance.
Unlike a traditional strike release, the
Private-Door Retracting Strike also fits
into a standard ANSI 4 7/8" metal door
frame.
