Detex AO19-1xRH PULL 39.5 AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex AO19-1 automatic operator work on a pair of doors?
No. The AO19-1 is a single-door operator, so a pair needs one operator per leaf, each ordered to that leaf's own handing and door width. Handing is ordered as Left Hand Pull, Left Hand Push, Right Hand Pull, or Right Hand Push, so on a pair the two leaves will not be the same part number.
2) How do I figure out the handing and push or pull side for a Detex AO19 operator before I order?
Two things get specified together on the AO19-1: hand (left or right) and which side of the door the operator sits on (push or pull), giving four combinations. Push means the header unit is on the side you push the door away from; pull is the opposite face. Detex publishes separate installation instructions and separate parts lists for push and pull, so the two are physically different installs, not a field setting. Get the side wrong and the arm geometry will not work on the opening.
3) What door widths does the Detex AO19-1 operator cover?
The AO19-1 is ordered to the door width it will drive, in four sizes: 36 inches, 39.5 inches, 45.5 inches, and 52 inches. Measure the actual door leaf width, not the rough opening, and pick the matching size. This is a build-to-order dimension on the operator, so it is worth confirming on the field measurement rather than the drawing.
4) I am short on headroom above the door. Is there a low profile arm option for the Detex AO19-1?
Yes. The AO19-1 can be ordered with a substitute Flat Arm, which gives 1-3/4 inches of additional headroom at the top of the door. If you have a transom, a low ceiling, or a soffit tight to the frame, specify the Flat Arm option; otherwise the operator ships with the standard arm.
5) Does the Detex AO19-1 meet ADA requirements for accessible entrances?
The AO19-1 is ADA compliant and built to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, the standard for Power Assist and Low Energy Power Operated Doors. That is the standard an accessible entrance is specified to on commercial, healthcare, education, and government projects, so it satisfies the low energy operator line item on those specs.
6) What electrical does an electrician need to run for a Detex AO19-1 operator?
One 115VAC circuit to the header. The AO19-1 runs on a single voltage source and plugs in at the header, so the electrician is bringing one line up rather than a low voltage transformer and a separate power supply. The hanger plate lets you hang the operator and make mechanical adjustments before building power is connected, which keeps the trades from waiting on each other.
7) Can the Detex AO19-1 operator be tied into a card reader and an electric lock?
Yes. The AO19-1 has an electric lock relay with adjustable delay and takes signals from existing access control, locking, and computer signal devices. The adjustable delay is the part that matters on an integration: it holds the operator off until the strike or electrified lock has actually released, so the arm is not driving against a locked door. Sequence it so the credential releases the lock, the delay times out, then the operator swings.
8) What do I have to specify when ordering a Detex AO19-1 automatic operator?
Four things. Handing and side, one of Left Hand Pull, Left Hand Push, Right Hand Pull, or Right Hand Push. Door width, 36, 39.5, 45.5, or 52 inches. Finish, aluminum or dark bronze. And whether you want the substitute Flat Arm for 1-3/4 inches of extra headroom, or no arm substitution. Activation devices and any electrified lock hardware are separate line items.
9) What is Push and Go on the Detex AO19-1, and does it need a wall plate?
Push and Go means a manual nudge on the door triggers the operator to take over and complete the opening, so someone can open the door without hitting an actuator. It is one of the adjustable features on the AO19-1, alongside power close, reverse on obstruction, and adjustable delayed activation. Wall actuators still get wired in for full hands free access, but Push and Go covers the person who just walks up and pushes.
10) What happens if someone or something is in the way when a Detex AO19 door is closing?
The operator reverses on obstruction, and it also powers the door closed rather than relying on spring return alone. For a property manager weighing a busy corridor or a lobby with carts and foot traffic, that pairing is the point: powered close keeps the door latching in wind or stack pressure, and obstruction reverse keeps it from pinning anyone.
11) Will a Detex AO19-1 hold up in a high traffic entrance, or is it a light duty operator?
Heavy duty. The AO19-1 is a commercial rated, self-contained unit in an extruded case built for high use and high abuse openings, with the case designed to come apart for maintenance access. For a facilities group standardizing across a campus, that extruded case is the practical difference at service time: the unit opens up in place instead of coming down.
12) Do I need to remove the existing door closer when I install a Detex AO19 operator?
Yes, the operator takes the closer's place. An AO19-1 is a header mounted, self-contained unit with its own arm and its own power close, so it controls the swing in both directions. You do not run it alongside a surface closer on the same leaf, and the header has to have the space and structural backing to carry it.
13) What finishes does the Detex AO19-1 header come in to match existing storefront?
Two: AL aluminum and BZ dark bronze. Those are the two finishes most commercial aluminum storefront and hollow metal frames get specified in, so match the operator header to the frame rather than the door hardware. On a multi-entrance building, order all the operators in one finish so the headers read consistently.
