Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Colindale, 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.

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Colindale, 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 Colindale, 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.
