Mandatory Safety Checks & Upgrades for Catford Businesses

As a building manager or owner in Catford, 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 Catford, 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.

Serving Catford's Retail Sector

For shops and supermarkets in Catford, a working door invites customers in. We prioritize retail repairs, offering out-of-hours service to minimize disruption to your trading. We handle heavy-duty sliding doors capable of withstanding constant footfall.

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Catford, 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 Catford, 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.

Specialist Door Operator Systems Support

We work with a vast array of door operator brands in Catford. Whether you have a heavy-duty **Record DFA 127** swing operator or a slimline **Dorma ES 200** sliding drive, our vans are stocked with the specific drive belts and carriage rollers needed for these models. We also service older, discontinued models from Besam and Tormax, often sourcing refurbished parts to keep your legacy systems running for longer.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Catford, 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.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Catford

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