The Critical Importance of Automatic Door Maintenance in Kent

Regular, professional maintenance of your automatic doors is imperative within a county like Kent, extending far beyond mere functional considerations. Its fundamental importance is underscored by several key factors:

Safety Compliance (BS EN 16005): Adherence to stringent safety standards, such as BS EN 16005 (the European standard for power operated pedestrian doorsets), is not merely a recommendation but a legal and moral obligation under UK legislation, including the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). Our maintenance schedules are meticulously designed to ensure continuous compliance, thereby mitigating risks of injury to both personnel and the public. Regular inspections confirm the correct functioning of safety sensors, operational status of emergency release mechanisms, and that all components meet required safety thresholds, safeguarding your business against potential liabilities and ensuring a secure environment for all users.

Operational Efficiency and Business Continuity: In Kent, where operational continuity is critical, an inoperable automatic door can result in significant disruptions. This may translate into lost revenue for retail establishments, impaired patient access for hospitals, or logistical challenges for corporate offices. Our planned preventative maintenance substantially reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns, ensuring uninterrupted smooth operation and preserving your business continuity. This proactive methodology ultimately yields cost savings by averting expensive emergency repairs and operational downtime.

Extended Equipment Lifespan: Automatic door systems represent a considerable capital investment. Without appropriate maintenance, components are susceptible to premature wear, leading to a diminished operational lifespan for the entire system. Regular servicing, lubrication, and adjustment by our certified technicians can significantly extend the operational life of your doors, optimising your return on investment and deferring the necessity for costly replacements. We proactively identify minor issues before they escalate into major, expensive failures.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Properly functioning automatic doors minimise the loss of conditioned air from your building, thereby contributing to more effective internal temperature regulation. Misaligned or slow closing doors can lead to substantial energy wastage, resulting in increased utility expenses, particularly in the large commercial properties prevalent throughout Kent. Our maintenance protocols ensure optimal sealing and operation, contributing directly to your building's energy efficiency and sustainability objectives.

Improved Security: A well maintained door system inherently contributes to enhanced security. Regular checks ensure that locking mechanisms, access control integrations, and overall structural integrity are robust, thereby bolstering the security of your premises. This is particularly vital in Kent, where security is a high priority for all establishment types.
