Why Use An Automatic Doors Repair Firm

• Sensors
• The automatic door has a sensor which knows when
  someone is approaching and tells the motor to
  turn, moving the doors. Equally, once you have
  entered or left the store it knows you are there
  and closes the door. In addition there are
  sensors which make sure no one is in the
  entranceway when the doors close this prevents
  any injuries from occurring.
• Power
• Automatic doors are powered by electricity and
  this can be very dangerous. One electric shock is
  enough to kill an adult, although it is not
  always fatal. If you do not know what you are
  doing when you undertake the automatic doors
  repair you could electrocute yourself or the next
  person who uses the door. This is not something
  you want on your conscience.
• Speed
• You might be frustrated while you are waiting for
  your emergency automatic doors repair firm to
  arrive. However, even with this delay it is
  likely that they will have the door fixed quicker
  than if you tried to complete it yourself.
• Warranty
• If you complete a temporary repair and the doors
  break again you will need to spend more time and
  potentially more money having the doors fixed. A
  reputable automatic doors repair firm will
  provide a warranty for the work they have done
  and will quickly return to rectify any issues, if
  there are any.

How to Troubleshoot Common Automatic Door
Problems and Repair Them

• Firstly, of course, there has to be a power
  source to the doors that you are using. Whether
  this a commercial or domestic door, most doors
  will give an indication that they are receiving
  this power by way of an indicator light or LED
  display.
• There will usually be a way to reset the running
  of the doors, and this will make sure that the
  automatic door repair isnt simply an overload or
  loss of power.
• The runners that the doors slide on are fantastic
  traps for dirt and grime that will prevent the
  doors from working properly if there is much
  build up. Regular cleaning is the best way to
  stop this, and be especially careful in autumn
  and winter seasons.
• If you are cleaning regularly but your automatic
  doors are not working and are in need of repair,
  check to see if there are any obstructions in the
  mechanisms of the door. It could be something
  simple like a stone, and so is easy to solve.
• Another issue that can prevent your doors from
  working properly is if they have become
  misaligned, or the panels have shifted. With not
  too much force, these can be pushed back into
  place and will solve the problems.
