Shhh – we’re about to let you in on a few secrets about automatic doors that your technician is probably hoping you never find out. We’ve been in the industry for more than 30 years— so trust when we say we’ve seen it all.

And now ready to pull back the curtain on some industry truths that could save you a WHOLE lot of time, money, and frustration. You’re welcome. *wink*

Secret #1: Most Techs Cut Corners on Maintenance

Sure, routine maintenance checkups might not be the most exciting part of owning automatic doors, but they’re non-negotiable. Unfortunately, a lot of technicians out there would rather just get in, do a quick “band-aid” fix, and get out—leaving you to deal with the consequences on your own down the line.

Not us, though. At Atlas Door Repair, we take maintenance seriously. As a matter of fact, we have a whole checklist of tasks—and we’re not leaving till we tick every last box off our list. Why? We know that small issues left unchecked can quickly snowball into major (and we mean majorly expensive) problems.

Secret #2: They Use One-Size-Fits-All Replacement Parts

When your auto doors start acting up, the quickest “solution” is often just to swap out a part and call it a day. But here’s the dirty little secret: most door technicians don’t even bother to match the replacement to what you ACTUALLY need. If they don’t have it, they often just grab the closest thing they can find and hope for the best.

That’s exactly why we keep an extensive inventory of custom-fit parts on hand, and if we don’t—we take the time to source it. It’s a quick fix to ensure a flawless automatic door repair for clients, but surprisingly, it isn’t a popular thing for most door companies.

Secret #3: They Lack Specialized Training

A question for you: would you trust your prized sports car to a backyard mechanic with no formal training? No way, right? So why would you let just anyone work on your high-tech automatic doors? The truth is that most technicians simply don’t have the specialized knowledge (nor the training!) required for proper automatic door installation, repair, and maintenance of these systems.

At Atlas Door Repair, we pride ourselves on our team’s extensive training and ongoing education. From manufacturer certifications to industry best practices, we promise your entryways meet the latest safety and performance standards.
