When it comes to commercial door hardware, performance and reliability aren't optional — they're essential. LCN, a trusted leader in door control solutions for over a century, has raised the bar once again with the official launch of its IQ Series of Electromechanical Automatic Operators. Designed for demanding commercial and institutional environments, the IQ Series delivers a new level of intelligent, heavy-duty automatic door operation.

Introducing the LCN IQ Series Lineup

The IQ Series includes seven purpose-built models, each engineered to meet specific application requirements:

• 2810IQ – Compact surface-mounted operator for single-swing doors
• 2850IQ – Heavy-duty surface-mounted operator for high-traffic applications
• 2860IQ – Surface-mounted operator with enhanced force for oversized doors
• 9530IQ – Concealed overhead operator for a clean, architectural finish
• 9540IQ – Concealed operator with increased power for heavier door assemblies
• 9550IQ – High-performance concealed operator for demanding environments
• 9560IQ – Top-of-the-line concealed operator for maximum-duty applications

Whether you're specifying for a hospital, school, government building, or high-traffic retail space, there's an IQ Series model built for the job.

What Makes the IQ Series Different? AdaptiveIQ™ Technology

At the heart of every IQ Series operator is LCN's proprietary AdaptiveIQ™ technology — and it's a genuine game-changer. Traditional automatic operators are set to fixed parameters during installation. The problem? Real-world conditions change. Wind pressure, HVAC stack effects, seasonal temperature swings, and floor drag can all cause a standard operator to underperform or fail prematurely.

AdaptiveIQ™ solves this by continuously monitoring door performance and automatically adjusting operating parameters in real time. The result is:

• Consistent door speed and force regardless of environmental conditions
• Reduced wear and tear on door hardware components
• Fewer service calls and lower long-term maintenance costs
• Improved user experience with smooth, predictable door operation every time

For facility managers and building owners, this translates directly to lower total cost of ownership and greater peace of mind.

Built for Commercial and Institutional Demands

The IQ Series isn't just smart — it's tough. LCN engineered these operators to handle the rigors of high-traffic environments where doors may cycle thousands of times per day. Key performance features include:

• Heavy-duty construction rated for high-cycle applications
• ADA compliance support for accessible entryway design
• Flexible activation options including push plates, motion sensors, and access control integration
• Hold-open and low-energy modes for versatile traffic management
• Concealed and surface-mount configurations to suit any architectural requirement
