A wide range of possible problems can affect automatic doors; whether sliding, swing, telescopic or bi-fold.
Some issues will arise through sudden impacts, unfortunate accidents or unforeseen malfunctions, while others will build over time; often through regular wear and tear. Thus, adopting a maintenance and servicing schedule is a wise course of action. Let’s take a look at some of the possible issues in more detail:
Common Problems
With continued use, the automatic operator might succumb to wear and tear or the electronics might malfunction in some way. In other situations, the track might become misaligned and where applicable, springs might break – these are the more regular symptoms associated with faulty automatic doors. Prolonged periods of heavy and not very careful public use can also instigate further damage – due to the weather, manhandling, etc.
Some malfunctions can only be fixed with professional reconditioning, while others might be prevented or mitigated by regular servicing. To assist in the smooth operation of the automatic door system, precautionary measures can be practiced by owners but generally it’s best to enlist the services of a qualified specialist to oversee long term running conditions.
