Mandatory Safety Checks & Upgrades for Beckenham Businesses

As a building manager or owner in Beckenham, 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 Beckenham, such as a blind spot in the sensor field or a defective reverse-on-obstruction mechanism, we will advise on immediate remedial action. We install state-of-the-art combined radar and infrared sensors that offer superior pedestrian protection compared to older technologies, ensuring your doors stop immediately if a person is detected in the threshold.

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Beckenham, 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 Beckenham, 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.
