The Value of Planned Maintenance in Worthing

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

Detailed Technical Diagnostics & Motor Repair in Worthing

Modern automatic doors are sophisticated electro-mechanical systems driven by complex logic controllers. When we attend a breakdown in Worthing, 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 Worthing 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.

Specialist Door Operator Systems Support

We work with a vast array of door operator brands in Worthing. Whether you have a heavy-duty **Record DFA 127** swing operator or a slimline **Dorma ES 200** sliding drive, our vans are stocked with the specific drive belts and carriage rollers needed for these models. We also service older, discontinued models from Besam and Tormax, often sourcing refurbished parts to keep your legacy systems running for longer.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Worthing

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