Autoslide

What Autoslide does

Autoslide is a privately held hardware company that designs and manufactures motorized automatic door systems for residential and light-commercial applications. The company's core technology converts existing manual sliding and swing doors into smart, hands-free entrances using patented motorized track systems; notable technical features include a MultiDrive safety architecture that attempts three open cycles before re-closing to protect the motor, RFID-based pet recognition for pet-only access, a pull-assist activation mode, and certified integrations with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Yale and Kwikset smart locks. The product portfolio spans the AutoSlide Standard and Elite (sliding door operators), AutoSlide iLock (integrated electric locking), MultiDrive (single-unit control of multiple doors), AutoSwing (swing door operator), the Smart Tag Pet Door Kit (RFID-activated pet access), and the Home Mobility Kit aimed at accessibility users.

The business model is hardware-led and consumer-direct: revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of automation kits and accessories, distributed via shop.autoslide.com, an authorized dealer and showroom network, and home-automation distributors such as Home Controls, Euro-Wall, Murphy Doors, and Roto North America. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market emphasizes DIY installation supported by video guides and targets three primary consumer segments — homeowners seeking convenience, accessibility users with mobility limitations, and pet owners. Autoslide LLC operates the North America headquarters in Tampa, FL, while Autoslide Pty Ltd (Wetherill Park, Australia) handles Oceania manufacturing and operations.

Ownership is concentrated with founder Mark Hancock (36+ years of commercial automation experience), with Joseph Castonguay serving as President. The company has not raised institutional capital, is entirely founder-financed, and holds a US patent on its automatic sliding door system alongside Australian Design Award recognition. Recent strategic activity has centered on product-line expansion into swing doors and multi-door systems and ecosystem partnerships, most notably the Ring/Amazon pet-tag collaboration launched in November 2024.
