Nothing disrupts a busy day like a malfunctioning automatic door—especially during peak visitor hours.
We’ve found that the #1 cause of unexpected door failure in commercial facilities isn’t a major mechanical issue at all…
…it’s lack of preventive maintenance on high-traffic components.
Here’s why it happens:
During high-traffic periods, your door’s motor, rollers, sensors, and control board are working at maximum capacity. Over time, dust, misalignment, or worn parts can push these components past their limit—often right when they’re needed most.
The good news? Avoiding this costly, frustrating problem is straightforward:3 Simple Ways to Keep Your Doors Running Through Peak Hours
- Schedule Load Testing – Simulate peak conditions to ensure motors and sensors respond flawlessly under stress.
- Replace Wear Parts Proactively – Don’t wait for rollers, belts, or sensors to fail—replace them at manufacturer-recommended intervals.
Clean & Calibrate Sensors Regularly – Even small dust particles or misalignment can cause safety shutdowns during heavy traffic.
