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