A compact, installer-friendly solution designed to simplify automatic door operation.


When it comes to access control and door automation, efficiency matters. From installation time and labor costs to inventory management and long-term reliability, security professionals need solutions that deliver dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.


Security Door Controls (SDC) is addressing those needs with the introduction of AutoMINI™, the AUTOM Series of compact, low-energy swing door operators designed specifically around the way access control professionals work.


Offering the proven performance of SDC's full-size AUTO Series in a streamlined 23-inch housing, AutoMINI brings powerful functionality to a smaller, more versatile package.



Designed with Installers in Mind


One of AutoMINI's biggest advantages is its installation-friendly design.


The system features a field-reversible housing, allowing technicians to accommodate either door handing without reconfiguring the internal drive unit. An included arm kit supports both push and pull applications, giving installers greater flexibility across different door configurations.


Slotted mounting keyholes simplify positioning and adjustment, while a single-button, self-tuning setup helps streamline installation.


Together, these features make AutoMINI particularly attractive for projects where reducing installation time and labor is a priority.


Compact Design, Greater Flexibility


At just 23 inches, AutoMINI offers a significantly more compact footprint while maintaining the performance capabilities of SDC's full-size AUTO Series.


Its smaller size makes it especially well-suited for:

  • Retrofit and replacement projects

  • Service calls and emergency replacements

  • Quick-turn installations

  • Efficient truck stock and warehouse inventory


Beyond installation convenience, the compact housing can help reduce storage requirements, freight expenses, and overall landed costs.


For integrators managing multiple projects or maintaining inventory for service work, those efficiencies can add up quickly.


Advanced Features Without the Added Complexity


Despite its smaller size, AutoMINI delivers a comprehensive range of features designed to support reliable, convenient door automation.


Key capabilities include:

  • Single-button self-tuning setup for simplified configuration

  • Obstruction detection for responsive operation

  • Extremely quiet operation for a more comfortable user experience

  • Adjustable hold-open timer for application-specific requirements

  • Momentary back-pressure relief

  • Onboard lock sequencing for coordinated door operation

  • Built-in 1 Amp+ power supply

  • Preset DIP switches for alternative functions


These integrated capabilities help reduce installation complexity while providing the dependable operation expected in modern access control environments.


Simplifying Door Automation from Start to Finish


SDC's commitment to installation efficiency extends beyond the AutoMINI itself.

Through the free SDC Security App, integrators can access DoorSnap™, a tool designed to simplify planning for door retrofit projects.


Using DoorSnap, professionals can photograph an existing door opening, submit the images through the app, and receive a personalized recommendation from SDC's solution experts.


The resulting solution includes product information and recommendations for electrified access and egress control hardware, helping installers identify the components needed for their application.


A Smarter Approach to Door Automation


With AutoMINI, SDC demonstrates that dependable door automation doesn't have to come in a large or complicated package.


By combining compact dimensions, flexible installation options, and proven operational features, the AUTOM Series gives security professionals another practical solution for modern access control projects.
