Detailed Technical Diagnostics & Motor Repair in Hatch End

Modern automatic doors are sophisticated electro-mechanical systems driven by complex logic controllers. When we attend a breakdown in Hatch End, we do not simply apply a quick patch; we perform a full **technical diagnostic audit**. This involves a granular inspection of the **brushless DC motor gearbox** for internal wear, testing the **drive belt tension** for signs of fatigue, and analysing the **control board error logs** for historical fault codes.

Common issues we encounter in Hatch End include worn carriage wheels causing doors to jump off their top tracks, and faulty encoder signals leading to erratic, jerky movement. Our technicians utilise specialist handheld programming terminals to recalibrate opening speeds, hold-open times, and braking forces, ensuring your door operates smoothly, silently, and efficiently.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Hatch End

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

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Hatch End

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