Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Hockenden, 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 Hockenden, 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.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Hockenden

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

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 Hockenden, 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.
