Introducing the New Lightweight Electric Apartment Door 'Autoa'

Sanwa Shutter Industry Co., Ltd., headquartered in Itabashi, Tokyo, is set to launch its latest product, the lightweight electric apartment door called 'Autoa', on December 19, 2025. In an era where homes are rapidly becoming smarter, the demand for advanced features in apartment entry doors, such as touchless electric locks and automatic door closers, is growing.

The 'Autoa' door enhances security and convenience, allowing residents to simply wave their hand to lock or unlock the door, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a hands-free experience. The operation requires minimal effort; after unlocking, users can slightly pull on the flat handle for the door to automatically open and close with ease.

Sanwa Shutter emphasizes both functionality and aesthetics in the design of 'Autoa'. Its handle-free, flat design not only provides a modern look but also enhances the overall entrance's elegance, making it a perfect focal point of any residence. Available in five artistic finishes, including two metallic colors and three wood-like textures, customers can choose colors that suit their unique space, allowing for personalized designs with varied color combinations between the door and side panels.

Key Features of Autoa

1. Beautifully Simple Handle-less Design

The electric locking system is seamlessly incorporated within the door's frame and side panel, creating a stunningly simple appearance that radiates luxury. The versatile palette of colors ensures that there is a suitable option for every taste and environment.

2. Touchless Locking and Unlocking

With the innovative design of 'Autoa', residents can keep their hands full as they unlock the door. Using a hands-free key or tag, they can simply present it to the built-in reader at the intercom panel without needing to fumble through bags or pockets, allowing smooth entry and exit for all ages, including children and seniors.

3. Emphasis on Safety and Assurance

The design also prioritizes safety and user-friendliness. After unlocking, a slight pull on the flat handle activates the automatic open and close function. Notably, in instances where the door encounters objects or people while opening or closing, it has a sensor that will halt its operation. Additionally, it features a backup power system that switches over automatically to a battery pack during power outages, providing continued automated operation for about 15 minutes, and if the battery runs low, the door utilizes a spring mechanism to securely close, maintaining its fire door functionality.
