Abstract: An automated door-opening device is disclosed that includes a first sensor disposed on the outside of the door. The first sensor is adapted to recognize a predetermined pattern of a gesture made by a patron. The gesture made in front of the first sensor opens the door by a first actuator. A second actuator can be used to lock or unlock the door, thereby providing full hand-free operation of the door. A hinge system is disclosed that includes three off-set hinges adapted to utilize the weight of the door to cause the door to self position and allow manual operation of the door.
