Automatic Door Repair East Sussex

Premier Automatic Door Technicians Serving East Sussex. At Automatic Door Repair UK, we understand that a faulty automatic door is more than just a mechanical nuisance; it represents a safety hazard to the public and a potential security weakness for your building. That is why we offer a comprehensive **24/7 emergency repair service** dedicated to businesses across East Sussex and the surrounding regions.

Our engineers operate from fully stocked mobile workshops, carrying an extensive range of universal parts, sensors, drive belts, control units, and battery packs. This logistical readiness enables us to achieve an industry-leading **first-time fix rate**. We pride ourselves on our transparent pricing structure, exceptional workmanship, and unwavering commitment to safety compliance. If you are located in East Sussex and require urgent assistance with a sliding, swing, telescopic, or revolving door, trust the local experts to restore your entrance to full working order.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in East Sussex

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

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In East Sussex, we frequently encounter automatic doors that behave unpredictably due to sensor conflicts, power fluctuations, or component degradation. Our engineers are trained to troubleshoot complex **logic board failures** and input/output circuit issues. We rigorously test the **battery backup units** to ensure the door fails safe in the event of a mains power cut, and we verify the integrity of the **electric locking systems** (maglocks or strike releases).

For older installations in East Sussex, mechanical component fatigue is a common cause of failure. We inspect the bottom guide channels for accumulated debris and wear, which is a leading cause of motor burnout. By addressing these underlying mechanical issues during our visit, we extend the operational lifespan of your operator and prevent costly premature replacements.

Mandatory Safety Checks & Upgrades for East Sussex Businesses

As a building manager or owner in East Sussex, you have a legal duty of care to ensure your automatic doors are safe for public use. We help you meet this obligation with rigorous compliance checks. Our safety audits involve testing the **breakout functionality** for emergency escape routes and ensuring that **side screen safety sensors** are active and correctly positioned.

If we identify a high-risk failure in East Sussex, such as a blind spot in the sensor field or a defective reverse-on-obstruction mechanism, we will advise on immediate remedial action. We install state-of-the-art combined radar and infrared sensors that offer superior pedestrian protection compared to older technologies, ensuring your doors stop immediately if a person is detected in the threshold.

Diagnosing Intermittent Issues

Intermittent faults are frustrating. Our engineers in East Sussex are skilled at tracing loose connections and worn wiring looms that cause sporadic failures. We inspect the entire cable management system to ensure reliability.
