Automatic doors can be used hundreds, if not thousands, of times during a working day. Sensors, motors and other moving parts are constantly working, making regular maintenance important.
But how often do automatic doors need servicing, and how can you tell when they need attention?
How Often Do Automatic Doors Need Servicing?
There’s no ‘one size fits all’ schedule for automatic door servicing. How often your doors need attention will depend on factors including:
- How frequently the doors are used
- The type and age of the system
- The environment around the entrance
- Previous faults or repairs
- Manufacturer recommendations
Doors in busy locations may need servicing more frequently than those with limited daily use.
Supreme Doors can assess your automatic doors and recommend a suitable maintenance schedule.
Why Is Automatic Door Servicing Important?
Regular servicing allows an engineer to inspect your automatic door system and identify wear or faults before they develop into bigger problems.
Servicing can help:
- Reduce unexpected breakdowns
- Improve day-to-day reliability
- Extend the working life of your doors
- Keep your entrance running smoothly
- Maintain safe operation
Rather than waiting for something to go wrong, regular maintenance can help keep your doors in good working order.
What Are the Signs Your Automatic Doors Need Servicing?
You shouldn’t wait until your next scheduled service if your doors don’t seem to be operating correctly.
Common warning signs include:
- Doors opening or closing slowly
- Unusual noises
- Doors failing to fully open or close
- Sensors activating erratically
- Jerky movement
- Doors opening without an obvious reason
- Error messages
- Frequent breakdowns
Catching a problem early could prevent a minor fault from developing into a more expensive repair.
What Happens During an Automatic Door Service?
During a service, an engineer will inspect the system and check for potential problems. This may include checking:
- Visible wear or damage
- Loose fittings
- Locking mechanisms
- Electronic controls
- Sensors
- Door alignment
If any problems are discovered, your engineer can recommend adjustments or repairs.
