An efficient commercial repair service helps to keep your doors running as efficiently and safely as possible for longer and reduces the risk of breakdowns.

 

Do you need your automatic door repaired?

 

In short, yes they do. There is often a range of issues that develop prior to your automatic door breaking down that can reduce the performance of your doors and create problems for building users.

 

Some of the operational issues to look out for include:

 

  • Slow or inconsistent operation

 

If your automatic doors are opening or closing more slowly than usual, or if their operation is inconsistent, it can indicate that there is a problem. This can be due to issues with the sensors, motors or other components. Commercial door repairs can quickly identify and then address the problem.

 

  • Noisy operation

 

If your door is producing grinding, squeaking or clicking noise during operation it might be indicative of a mechanical problem. This may signal that these components need lubricating or that parts need replacing.

 

  • Safety Sensor Failures

Safety sensors are an essential component of your automatic doors. These detect obstructions and prevent accidents from occurring. If they are malfunctioning, the door may fail to respond to potential obstacles and may not close properly.

 

  • Worn or Damaged Component

 

Regularly check for visible signs of damage or wear and tear on the door components, including tracks, rollers, hinges and belts. You should also check the seals and weather stripping which when damaged can allow moisture and debris to enter the door mechanism. Any visibly worn or damaged components should be replaced promptly to prevent operational issues from arising.

 

  • Control Panel Malfunction

 

If the keypad or control panel isn’t working correctly it might indicate that there’s an issue with the door’s electrical components. Commercial door repair services can identify any potential electrical problems to ensure safe and reliable operation.

 

  • Faulty Wiring

 

Loose connections, exposed wires or signs of damage to the door wiring should be quickly addressed by a commercial door repair service. These will not only impact the door’s operation but can pose a safety risk to users.

 

  • Physical Damage

 

If your automatic doors have sustained physical damage, such as cracks, dents or bent frames, it can affect the door’s operation and overall safety.

 

If you become aware that your door has any of these issues it’s advisable to contact a commercial door repair service as soon as possible. Timely repairs alongside regular maintenance can help to extend the lifespan of the door, ensure your doors are safe and prevent inconvenience for users.
