Keeping automatic doors operating safely and efficiently requires a programme that reflects the demands placed on them. At Automatic Access, we provide automatic door maintenance and automatic door servicing across the UK.
Routine servicing helps identify potential issues early, extending the lifespan of key components while minimising the risk of costly repairs or unexpected downtime. Automatic doors rely on a combination of electrical and mechanical systems that require regular inspection by a qualified engineer to ensure safe and reliable performance.

The law varies by country, but in England, Wales, and Scotland, the servicing of automatic doors is a legal requirement under workplace health and safety legislation.
Specifically, under the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), powered pedestrian doors must be operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidance, at suitable intervals, to monitor for any wear and tear that could compromise safety.
Automatic Access can advise on the maintenance frequency and programme required for your door type, ensuring you meet your responsibilities as the building occupier. Your handover documents from the door installer or the manufacturer’s manual should also outline this information.
It is recommended that automatic doors be serviced at least once a year to protect building users and ensure their safe and efficient operation. A weekly inspection by the building occupier is also necessary.
Each automatic door asset requires its own logbook, usually provided by the manufacturer or installer, to record any checks, repairs, and maintenance. After each service, we will provide you with a detailed automatic door service checklist and report for your records.
