Automatic Door Repair Bow

Welcome to Automatic Door Repair UK, the leading specialist in **automatic door repair services for Bow**. In today's fast-paced commercial environment, a reliable, safe, and fully functional entrance is not just a convenience—it is a critical necessity. Whether you operate a busy retail store, a corporate headquarters, a healthcare facility, or a hospitality venue in Bow, a breakdown in your automatic door system can cause severe disruption, compromise security, and impact accessibility for your customers and staff.

Our team of highly skilled, **BS EN 16005 accredited engineers** is strategically positioned in and around Bow to provide rapid response times for all emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance. We specialise in the diagnosis, repair, and servicing of all major automatic door brands, including **Dorma, Record, Geze, Assa Abloy, and Tormax**. From sliding doors that fail to close to swing operators losing hydraulic pressure, we possess the deep technical expertise to resolve your issues quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Bow, we frequently resolve issues such as:

• Door stuck open or closed: Often caused by dirty sensors or power failure.
• Noisy operation: Indicates worn floor guides or motor bearings.
• Erratic movement: Usually a sign of encoder errors or belt slippage.
• Failure to lock: We adjust electric strikes and maglocks for secure locking.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Bow

Reactive repair is often more costly than proactive care. We recommend our **Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)** service for all businesses in Bow. Regular servicing (typically twice a year) allows us to clean the bottom guides, tighten drive belt tension, and lubricate the gearbox. This prevents the common 'grinding' failures we see in Bow and significantly extends the lifespan of your expensive automatic door assets.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Bow

Safety is our absolute top priority. All automatic doors in Bow must strictly adhere to the **BS EN 16005** safety standard (formerly BS 7036). Operating a non-compliant door puts your staff and visitors at risk of impact or crushing injuries and exposes your business to significant liability. During every service visit to Bow, our engineers conduct a mandatory safety assessment.

We test the **static closing force** to ensure it does not exceed 150N, preventing injury to vulnerable users. We verify that all **safety sensors** (both activation radars and presence detection beams) are functioning correctly and cover the entire door travel area. If your door in Bow lacks essential safety features like finger guards or monitored safety beams, we can retrofit modern safety devices to bring your system up to current legal standards.

Detailed Technical Diagnostics & Motor Repair in Bow

Modern automatic doors are sophisticated electro-mechanical systems driven by complex logic controllers. When we attend a breakdown in Bow, we do not simply apply a quick patch; we perform a full **technical diagnostic audit**. This involves a granular inspection of the **brushless DC motor gearbox** for internal wear, testing the **drive belt tension** for signs of fatigue, and analysing the **control board error logs** for historical fault codes.

Common issues we encounter in Bow include worn carriage wheels causing doors to jump off their top tracks, and faulty encoder signals leading to erratic, jerky movement. Our technicians utilise specialist handheld programming terminals to recalibrate opening speeds, hold-open times, and braking forces, ensuring your door operates smoothly, silently, and efficiently.

Serving Bow's Retail Sector

For shops and supermarkets in Bow, a working door invites customers in. We prioritize retail repairs, offering out-of-hours service to minimize disruption to your trading. We handle heavy-duty sliding doors capable of withstanding constant footfall.

We also service older, discontinued models from Besam and Tormax, often sourcing refurbished parts to keep your legacy systems running for longer.
