Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Ashtead, we frequently encounter automatic doors that behave unpredictably due to sensor conflicts, power fluctuations, or component degradation. Our engineers are trained to troubleshoot complex **logic board failures** and input/output circuit issues. We rigorously test the **battery backup units** to ensure the door fails safe in the event of a mains power cut, and we verify the integrity of the **electric locking systems** (maglocks or strike releases).

For older installations in Ashtead, mechanical component fatigue is a common cause of failure. We inspect the bottom guide channels for accumulated debris and wear, which is a leading cause of motor burnout. By addressing these underlying mechanical issues during our visit, we extend the operational lifespan of your operator and prevent costly premature replacements.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Ashtead, we frequently resolve issues such as:

• Door stuck open or closed: Often caused by dirty sensors or power failure.
• Noisy operation: Indicates worn floor guides or motor bearings.
• Erratic movement: Usually a sign of encoder errors or belt slippage.
• Failure to lock: We adjust electric strikes and maglocks for secure locking.

Mandatory Safety Checks & Upgrades for Ashtead Businesses

As a building manager or owner in Ashtead, you have a legal duty of care to ensure your automatic doors are safe for public use. We help you meet this obligation with rigorous compliance checks. Our safety audits involve testing the **breakout functionality** for emergency escape routes and ensuring that **side screen safety sensors** are active and correctly positioned.

If we identify a high-risk failure in Ashtead, such as a blind spot in the sensor field or a defective reverse-on-obstruction mechanism, we will advise on immediate remedial action.

Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Ashtead

Our engineering expertise covers the full spectrum of automation technologies found in Ashtead. We regularly service and repair:

• Automatic Sliding Doors: Single and bi-parting sliders are common in Ashtead supermarkets and retail entrances. We fix worn carriage wheels, snapped drive belts, and misaligned bottom guide tracks.
• Automatic Swing Doors: Widely used in Ashtead offices and for disabled access (DDA) toilets. We repair the arm linkages, spring tensioners, and hydraulic damping systems.
• Telescopic Doors: Ideal for narrow entrances in Ashtead, these complex mechanisms require precise alignment of the multi-leaf drive belt system to function correctly.
• Revolving Doors: We service the speed control governors and collapsible wing mechanisms for high-prestige entrances.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Ashtead

Reactive repair is often more costly than proactive care. We recommend our **Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)** service for all businesses in Ashtead. Regular servicing (typically twice a year) allows us to clean the bottom guides, tighten drive belt tension, and lubricate the gearbox. This prevents the common 'grinding' failures we see in Ashtead and significantly extends the lifespan of your expensive automatic door assets.
