Automatic Door Maintenance & Issues

Open, Close, Open, Close. So goes the life of your automatic doors. People come and go, life is good as long as everything works. Though, as we all know, the perfect world doesn’t exist and trouble is always one opening away. Does this have to be the case? Can your make sound choices to limit your headaches? The simple answer to that is yes. Also, if I said you could spend a few hundred bucks a year to potentially save yourself millions, would you do it? Pretty sure you would, without question. 

The saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” applies to too many things in life, but not to automatic doors. They are expensive pieces of equipment and like anything else, they need care. There are many moving parts to these set-ups and as the unit continues to function things can get out of line. 

Now if we can return to sayings for a moment; “It’s better to be proactive than reactive.” This 100% holds true for automatic doors. In most cases these doors are in a constant state of movement. Lubrication will decrease, adding stress to the motors and slowing the operation of the doors. Not only do the mechanics stay in a constantly stressed state, the electronics and brains can get scrambled up as well. The opening/closing speeds can get altered and the safety sensors might need adjusting. The point is; all these things lead to poor performance and avoidable wear & tear. 

Regardless of what the issues might be, it’s always better to stay on top of things. Sure, you could drive your car for 15,000 miles without an oil change, but would you? Point is, having a professional inspect your system once or twice a year is a cost effective way to stay ahead. The last thing you need is an equipment failure, or even worse, one involving a pedestrian.
