Your automatic doors work hard year-round—but did you know that temperature and humidity changes can directly affect how they perform?
As seasons shift, metal components expand and contract, sensors react differently to light and weather, and door speeds can drift out of calibration. Without proper seasonal adjustments, this leads to slow operation, safety sensor misfires, and unnecessary wear on parts.
Here’s how to keep your entrances performing at peak efficiency—no matter the weather:
- Adjust Speed & Force Settings Each Season
Cold weather can stiffen lubricants and slow motors, while summer heat can over-accelerate performance. - Inspect Seals & Thresholds for Wear
Winter moisture and salt can degrade weather seals. Replace them before air leaks and corrosion start. - Check Sensor Sensitivity in Bright or Low Light
Sunlight angles change with the seasons, which can confuse infrared and microwave sensors. Recalibration ensures consistent detection. - Clean Door Tracks & Sills Frequently
Rain, leaves, and ice melt residue can build up fast during transitional months.
5. Schedule Professional Seasonal Service
A certified tech can fine-tune your system for current conditions and check for potential seasonal wear.
