Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Cranham

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

• Automatic Sliding Doors: Single and bi-parting sliders are common in Cranham supermarkets and retail entrances. We fix worn carriage wheels, snapped drive belts, and misaligned bottom guide tracks.
• Automatic Swing Doors: Widely used in Cranham 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 Cranham, 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.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Cranham, 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.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Cranham

Safety is our absolute top priority. All automatic doors in Cranham 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 Cranham, 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 Cranham 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 Cranham

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

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Cranham, 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 Cranham, 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.
