Automatic Door Repair Loughton

Welcome to Automatic Door Repair UK, the leading specialist in **automatic door repair services for Loughton**. 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 Loughton, 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 Loughton 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 Loughton, 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.

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Loughton, 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 Loughton, 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.

The Value of Planned Maintenance in Loughton

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