How to Extend the Life of Your Automatic Doors by 30%

automatic door

Your automatic doors are one of the most used—and most overlooked—pieces of equipment in your facility.
Every open, every close, every busy day takes a toll on motors, rollers, sensors, and tracks.

The good news? With the right care, you can add years of extra life to your doors—often increasing their lifespan by 30% or more while lowering repair costs.

Here’s how:

  1. Schedule Regular Preventive Maintenance
    Just like HVAC or elevators, your doors need scheduled inspections and adjustments to prevent premature wear.
  2. Keep Tracks & Thresholds Clear
    Even small debris can create friction that damages rollers and motors over time.
  3. Lubricate Moving Parts Consistently
    Proper lubrication reduces stress on components and keeps operation smooth.
  4. Replace Wear Parts Before They Fail
    Rollers, belts, and seals are inexpensive compared to major repairs—change them on schedule.
  5. Calibrate Sensors Seasonally
    Temperature and environmental changes affect performance—calibration keeps doors operating at peak efficiency.
