It takes time and money to restore your automatic door to its former glory. And honestly? It’s very much a hassle to live with the repercussions of a defective door daily.

That’s why it’s important to implement prompt intervention WAY before you even see any signs of door failure. And believe us, all the extra effort of maintaining your door in tip-top shape is gonna pay off.

And the best part is, the things you need to do to avoid imminent door malfunction and repair shouldn’t be complicated at all.

Here are three ways to avoid a door repair in the making:

1. Clean, clean, and more cleaning

This is probably a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many might forget to do a door cleaning every once in a while. A build-up of debris and dust can be detrimental for door functionality.

Any type of cleaning, like sweeping or wiping with a cloth can certainly help— but we advise using a vacuum cleaner for hard-to-reach areas and crevices.

2. Panel Check

Automatic doors are usually made out of glass panels, which are prone to damage like scratches, dents, warping, chipping or other kinds of wear and tear.

While it may not be a big deal right now, there is a possibility of damage worsening over time. Try to inspect these every now and then before a more serious automatic door repair is needed.
