Automatic doors play a crucial role in ensuring access and security at building entrances, while also offering benefits in terms of savings, hygiene, and speed. Whether it’s automatic or magnetic sliding doors, revolving doors, or security doors, any malfunctioning door can lead to serious issues. To avoid unexpected problems, regular maintenance of automatic doors is essential.
Industry experts recommend that automatic doors be checked by professional teams every six months. Routine inspections not only determine if the doors require urgent intervention but also identify any need for comprehensive maintenance.
In addition to professional maintenance, it’s advisable for your in-house staff to conduct daily and weekly checks. The following key items should be included in the maintenance checklist:
Door Sensors
Automatic doors should be tested frequently to ensure they open and close properly. If there are any issues with the opening or closing of the doors, immediate assistance from maintenance services should be sought. Failure to address these issues may cause difficulties for individuals entering or exiting.
Door Panels
Ensure that the door is clear of surrounding objects while opening and closing. Additionally, inspect the door panels for any damaged glass or breaks. A thorough examination should be conducted to check for loose parts or visible defects. Regular checks and preventive measures are crucial, as neglecting these can lead to injuries during entry and exit.
Weather Conditions
It is critical to perform maintenance on automatic doors after significant weather events. In winter, it’s important to check for any ice formation on the sensors, door frame, and other components, as well as to regularly remove any ice buildup. Neglecting to clean can affect the functionality of the doors or even cause damage to them. Experts recommend checking the doors several times during severe weather conditions such as heavy snow, storms, hail, and rain.
Safety Signs
It is important that safety warnings around the doors are clearly visible. In addition to signs directing pedestrian traffic, signs indicating the door’s opening direction are also necessary. A door lacking appropriate safety warnings can lead to liability issues for companies.
