BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance: Your Legal Duty in Wood Lane

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

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

• Automatic Sliding Doors: Single and bi-parting sliders are common in Wood Lane supermarkets and retail entrances. We fix worn carriage wheels, snapped drive belts, and misaligned bottom guide tracks.
• Automatic Swing Doors: Widely used in Wood Lane 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 Wood Lane, 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.

Common Automatic Door Faults We Fix

In Wood Lane, 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.

Serving Wood Lane's Retail Sector

For shops and supermarkets in Wood Lane, 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.

Reducing Downtime with Regular Servicing

Unexpected door failures can lead to loss of heat, security risks, and customer dissatisfaction. By scheduling regular maintenance visits in Wood Lane, we can identify worn components—such as floor guides or motor brushes—before they fail completely. A well-maintained door is safer, quieter, and uses less energy.

Advanced Fault Finding & Electronic Repair

In Wood Lane, 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 Wood Lane, 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.
