Healthcare and Public Sector in Brompton

Hospitals, GP surgeries, and care homes in Brompton rely on automatic doors for accessibility. We provide priority response for these critical environments, ensuring that DDA compliant access is maintained at all times for vulnerable users.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Brompton

Reactive repair is often more costly than proactive care. We recommend our **Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)** service for all businesses in Brompton. 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 Brompton and significantly extends the lifespan of your expensive automatic door assets.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Brompton, 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.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Brompton

Safety is our absolute top priority. All automatic doors in Brompton 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 Brompton, 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 Brompton 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.

Types of Automatic Doors We Repair in Brompton

Our engineering expertise covers the full spectrum of automation technologies found in Brompton. We regularly service and repair:

• Automatic Sliding Doors: Single and bi-parting sliders are common in Brompton supermarkets and retail entrances. We fix worn carriage wheels, snapped drive belts, and misaligned bottom guide tracks.
• Automatic Swing Doors: Widely used in Brompton offices and for disabled access (DDA) toilets. We repair the arm linkages, spring tensioners, and hydraulic damping systems.
• Telescopic Doors: Ideal for narrow entrances in Brompton, these complex mechanisms require precise alignment of the multi-leaf drive belt system to function correctly.
• Revolving Doors: We service the speed control governors and collapsible wing mechanisms for high-prestige entrances.

Detailed Technical Diagnostics & Motor Repair in Brompton

Modern automatic doors are sophisticated electro-mechanical systems driven by complex logic controllers. When we attend a breakdown in Brompton, 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 Brompton 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.
