Automatic Door Repair Harrow

Welcome to Automatic Door Repair UK, the leading specialist in **automatic door repair services for Harrow**. In today's fast-paced commercial environment, a reliable, safe, and fully functional entrance is not just a convenience—it is a critical necessity. Whether you operate a busy retail store, a corporate headquarters, a healthcare facility, or a hospitality venue in Harrow, a breakdown in your automatic door system can cause severe disruption, compromise security, and impact accessibility for your customers and staff.

Our team of highly skilled, **BS EN 16005 accredited engineers** is strategically positioned in and around Harrow to provide rapid response times for all emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance. We specialise in the diagnosis, repair, and servicing of all major automatic door brands, including **Dorma, Record, Geze, Assa Abloy, and Tormax**. From sliding doors that fail to close to swing operators losing hydraulic pressure, we possess the deep technical expertise to resolve your issues quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.

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 Harrow, 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.

Diagnosing Intermittent Issues

Intermittent faults are frustrating. Our engineers in Harrow are skilled at tracing loose connections and worn wiring looms that cause sporadic failures. We inspect the entire cable management system to ensure reliability.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Harrow

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

Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Harrow

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

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

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Harrow, 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 Harrow, 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.

Healthcare and Public Sector in Harrow

Hospitals, GP surgeries, and care homes in Harrow rely on automatic doors for accessibility. We provide priority response for these critical environments, ensuring that DDA compliant access is maintained at all times for vulnerable users.
