"Made a call at 8am this morning after one of our warehouse guys badly damaged our main shutter door, the door would not operate at all and was half way up. Made the call and what a great response, engineers arrived on-site at around 11am and successfully repaired the door.''

Automatic Door Repairs - Common Issues We Repair

Automatic doors may look straightforward from the outside, but internally they depend on a complex system of sensors, motors, software, and mechanical parts. 

Over time, any of these components can wear out or malfunction, leading to reduced performance or complete failure. Below are some of the most common issues our engineers regularly repair:

• Door Not Opening or Closing Properly: This common issue is often caused by sensor misalignment, motor faults, or electrical problems. Sometimes, underlying mechanical faults may be the culprit, which is why it’s important to have a professional diagnose and fix the problem promptly.

• Unusual Noises: Grinding, scraping, or clicking sounds often indicate worn bearings, misaligned tracks, or debris obstructing the door’s movement. Our engineers quickly diagnose the cause and carefully clear any obstructions to restore smooth and quiet operation.

• Sensor Failure: Motion sensors or safety sensors may become faulty or dirty, preventing the doors from reacting correctly to movement. This can often be an easy fix for our team once we’ve thoroughly assessed it. 

• Slow or Jerky Movement: Worn drive belts, lack of lubrication, or software glitches can cause your doors to move slowly or unevenly. Our engineers arrive fully equipped with the right tools and products to quickly resolve these issues and restore smooth operation.

• Power Supply Issues: Electrical faults, blown fuses, or malfunctioning control boards can interrupt the power supply, causing your automatic doors to stop working. Our team is skilled in diagnosing and repairing these electrical problems promptly to minimise downtime.

• Obstruction Detection Not Working: When your automatic door fails to detect objects or people in its path, it poses a serious safety risk. This critical issue requires immediate professional repair to ensure the safety of all users.

• Weather Damage: Continuous exposure to wind, rain, and temperature changes can wear down door components, seals, and sensors. If you notice any signs of weather-related damage, contact our team right away, and we’ll respond promptly to protect and repair your automatic doors.
