Automatic Door Preventive Maintenance Plans for Commercial Properties
Automatic doors open and close thousands of times a week. Regular preventive maintenance keeps them safe, extends their lifespan and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns that disrupt your business. R.H. Limitless provides scheduled maintenance plans for commercial properties in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Nassau County, tailored to each building’s traffic and needs.
Why Preventive Maintenance Matters
- Fewer breakdowns: worn rollers, belts and sensors are replaced before they fail.
- Safer entrances: sensors, safety zones and closing speeds are checked and adjusted regularly.
- Longer equipment life: clean, adjusted and lubricated components wear more slowly.
- Lower long-term cost: planned service usually costs less than emergency repairs and lost business.
- Better records: documented service helps with property management, insurance and compliance.
What a Maintenance Visit Includes
- Inspection and adjustment of motion and presence sensors
- Check of opening speed, closing speed, hold-open time and closing force
- Inspection of tracks, rollers, belts, pivots and guides
- Cleaning and lubrication of moving parts where needed
- Test of activation devices such as push plates, wave switches and keypads
- Check of locks, mode switches, breakout function and hardware
- Review of safety signage and decals
- A summary of findings and any recommended repairs
How Often Should Automatic Doors Be Serviced?
The right schedule depends on how busy the entrance is. The American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM) recommends that building owners perform a simple daily safety check and have doors inspected at least once a year. High-traffic entrances such as supermarkets, hospitals and transit-facing storefronts usually benefit from more frequent service. We set a schedule that matches your entrance instead of a one-size-fits-all plan.
A Quick Daily Safety Check for Your Staff
- Walk toward the door at a normal pace. It should open fully before you reach it.
- Stand in the doorway. The door should stay open while you are in the threshold.
- Watch it close. It should close smoothly, without slamming or stopping partway.
- Check that safety signage is in place and the floor area is clear of debris.
