Hello architects and designers! My name's Lirio, I'm wondering if any of you have ever done an automatic swing door (for a porch) for any of your clients. This client entertains a lot in the summer and would like the screen door to open as she steps up to it, when she has her hands full. Everything I search seems to be commercial. But I'm sure my client cannot be the first to ask for something like this! Please let me know if any of you have done a similar project of if you could point me in the right direction, it would be great!
You could always call the manufacturers of the products you've found and ask if the one you like is suitable for residential. Usually residential is less strict than commercial in terms of requirements. It will likely come at a premium for one offs but sounds like your client has got the money considering such a request.
Thank you, I have been calling and asking. Unfortunately, the manufacturers that I've spoken to don't recommend their product for a residential door, especially since it's a screen door and can be flimsy.

Just put an automatic opener on the screen door. Better yet, use a revolving door.
revolving screen doors? Genius.
