maintenance of automatic doors

Automatic doors, like any other mechanical component, suffer wear and tear over time. This wear and tear can cause malfunctions in the mechanism, which could lead to inconvenient situations for customers, as well as potential safety risks. Keeping automatic doors in good condition not only ensures a steady flow of customers, but also avoids costly emergency repairs. In addition, a properly functioning door improves the energy efficiency of the premises by minimising air conditioning or heating losses.

Automatic doors can encounter a variety of problems, from electrical faults to mechanical issues. Here are some of the most common ones:

  • Sensor issues: If the sensor is dirty or misaligned, the door may not detect customers properly, causing it to open and close irregularly.
  • Motor faults: The motor is the heart of the automatic door. Any problem with the motor can cause the door to stop working completely.
  • Wear and tear on hinges or tracks: Worn hinges or tracks can cause the door to slide inefficiently or become stuck.
  • Electrical problems: Loose or damaged electrical connections can prevent the door from receiving the power it needs to operate.
