Diagnosing Intermittent Issues

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

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Hastings, 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 Hastings, 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.

Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Hastings

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

• Automatic Sliding Doors: Single and bi-parting sliders are common in Hastings supermarkets and retail entrances. We fix worn carriage wheels, snapped drive belts, and misaligned bottom guide tracks.
• Automatic Swing Doors: Widely used in Hastings offices and for disabled access (DDA) toilets. We repair the arm linkages, spring tensioners, and hydraulic damping systems.

Unexpected door failures can lead to loss of heat, security risks, and customer dissatisfaction.

A well-maintained door is safer, quieter, and uses less energy.
