Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Godalming

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

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

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Godalming, 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 Godalming, 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.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Godalming, 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.

Reducing Downtime with Regular Servicing

Unexpected door failures can lead to loss of heat, security risks, and customer dissatisfaction. By scheduling regular maintenance visits in Godalming, we can identify worn components—such as floor guides or motor brushes—before they fail completely. A well-maintained door is safer, quieter, and uses less energy.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Godalming

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