Carey Automatic Door, LLC (a 100% woman owned small business) manufactures pneumatic door operators for swinging and sliding door applications (formerly known as STANLEY MAGIC-DOOR Pneumatic Door Operators). 

Considered the most reliable, durable and cost effective automatic door operator in the industry for over ​80 years!
​Operators will last 40+ years with proper care and maintenance!


Historic Timeline:
In 1931, Horace H. Raymond, an engineer at The Stanley Works, submitted an application for his "apparatus for operating doors" with the U.S. Patent Office. In 1934, a patent for the world's first pneumatic door operator was published (see
Patent No. 1978093).

​The first installation was at the Wilcox Pier Restaurant in West Haven, CT on June 19, 1931. MIT installed the operator on the institute's iconic entrance hall in Cambridge, MA. This door operator is still in place and running today, more than 80 years later!

​Carey Automatic Door, LLC manufactures the following two types of pneumatic door operator equipment:


100% Pneumatic (ALL AIR), Explosion Proof Automatic Door Operators:

100% Pneumatic (ALL AIR), Explosion Proof Door Operators


Electro-Pneumatic Door Operators .

Heavy-duty, intrinsically safe pneumatic door operators are ideal for swinging and sliding door panels in hazardous locations.  Proven track record for environments with volatile chemicals.  Customers served since 1970! 

Heavy-duty electro-pneumatic door operators are ideal for swinging and sliding door panels that require industrial strength performance.  Proven track record.  Customers served since 1930!

  • Pneumatically controlled from central air supply.
  • Operator cases, covers and slide rods fabricated from high grade stainless steel 300 series corrosion resistant material.
  • Capable of opening heavy access swinging and sliding doors up to 5,000 lbs. per leaf.  Power checking is available as an accessory for heavy doors.
  • For locations where severe conditions are found such as strong winds, pressures or where fast operation is required.
  • Operator capable of operating doors against wind velocities (and equivalent stack pressures) up to 40 miles per hour.
  • Concealed operators available for under the floor applications (Magic Mole Pivots) and above the ceiling applications (Magic Star Pivots).
  • Maximum single swinging door opening width is 72", double swinging doors 144", single sliding doors 144", bi-part sliding doors 288".
  • Long operating life and minimal maintenance (20 - 30+ years).  Both are achieved through  simplicity of design, robust construction plus the use of few moving parts.
  • For use with Fire Doors, Lead Lined Doors, Blast Resistant Doors, Hollow Metal Doors, Stainless Steel Doors
