Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Barkingside

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

• Automatic Sliding Doors: Single and bi-parting sliders are common in Barkingside supermarkets and retail entrances. We fix worn carriage wheels, snapped drive belts, and misaligned bottom guide tracks.
• Automatic Swing Doors: Widely used in Barkingside offices and for disabled access (DDA) toilets. We repair the arm linkages, spring tensioners, and hydraulic damping systems.

• Revolving Doors: We service the speed control governors and collapsible wing mechanisms for high-prestige entrances.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Barkingside

Safety is our absolute top priority. All automatic doors in Barkingside must strictly adhere to the **BS EN 16005** safety standard (formerly BS 7036). Operating a non-compliant door puts your staff and visitors at risk of impact or crushing injuries and exposes your business to significant liability. During every service visit to Barkingside, our engineers conduct a mandatory safety assessment.

We test the **static closing force** to ensure it does not exceed 150N, preventing injury to vulnerable users. We verify that all **safety sensors** (both activation radars and presence detection beams) are functioning correctly and cover the entire door travel area. If your door in Barkingside lacks essential safety features like finger guards or monitored safety beams, we can retrofit modern safety devices to bring your system up to current legal standards.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Barkingside

Reactive repair is often more costly than proactive care. We recommend our **Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)** service for all businesses in Barkingside. 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 Barkingside and significantly extends the lifespan of your expensive automatic door assets.

Detailed Technical Diagnostics & Motor Repair in Barkingside

Modern automatic doors are sophisticated electro-mechanical systems driven by complex logic controllers. When we attend a breakdown in Barkingside, we do not simply apply a quick patch; we perform a full **technical diagnostic audit**. This involves a granular inspection of the **brushless DC motor gearbox** for internal wear, testing the **drive belt tension** for signs of fatigue, and analysing the **control board error logs** for historical fault codes.

Common issues we encounter in Barkingside include worn carriage wheels causing doors to jump off their top tracks, and faulty encoder signals leading to erratic, jerky movement. Our technicians utilise specialist handheld programming terminals to recalibrate opening speeds, hold-open times, and braking forces, ensuring your door operates smoothly, silently, and efficiently.

Diagnosing Intermittent Issues

Intermittent faults are frustrating. Our engineers in Barkingside are skilled at tracing loose connections and worn wiring looms that cause sporadic failures. We inspect the entire cable management system to ensure reliability.

Healthcare and Public Sector in Barkingside

Hospitals, GP surgeries, and care homes in Barkingside rely on automatic doors for accessibility. We provide priority response for these critical environments, ensuring that DDA compliant access is maintained at all times for vulnerable users.
