Automatic Door Maintenance

Commercial entrance doors are used every day by staff, visitors, customers and service users. When they are working properly, they support safe access, smooth movement and a professional first impression. When they are neglected, small issues can quickly develop into faults that affect safety, accessibility, security and day-to-day operations.

Elite Entrance Systems provides professional automatic door maintenance for commercial, industrial, healthcare, education, retail and public-sector buildings across London, the South East and the East of England.

Our automatic door maintenance service is designed to keep entrance systems operating safely and reliably, while helping to reduce breakdowns, extend equipment life and support ongoing compliance.

Automatic Door Maintenance Specialists

Automatic doors contain moving parts, sensors, controls, drive systems and safety devices that all need to work together correctly. Regular servicing helps identify wear, damage, misalignment and performance issues before they cause disruption.

Elite Entrance Systems supports both automatic and manual entrance systems, with maintenance programmes tailored to each site’s door types, usage levels and operational needs.

Our engineers work across a wide range of systems and manufacturers, including older and legacy equipment where original manufacturer support may be limited. Each visit is carried out with a focus on safety, practical advice and clear reporting.

Commercial Door Maintenance

Our Automatic Door Maintenance Services

We provide planned maintenance and servicing for a wide range of entrance systems, from high-traffic automatic doors to secure commercial and industrial doors.

Automatic Door Maintenance

Our automatic door maintenance service helps keep powered entrance systems safe, reliable and suitable for daily use.

Maintenance can include:

  • inspection of door movement and general operation;
  • sensor and activation testing;
  • safety device checks;
  • motor, drive and control checks;
  • door leaf alignment;
  • track, roller, hinge or guide inspection;
  • adjustment of key components where required;
  • identification of worn or damaged parts;
  • clear reporting and recommendations.

Where faults are identified, our engineers will explain the issue and advise on the most suitable next steps.

Automatic Sliding Door Maintenance

Automatic sliding doors are often used in busy public-facing buildings, where safe and consistent operation is essential.

Our automatic sliding door maintenance can include checks to the track, rollers, carriage system, motor, sensors, activation devices, safety systems and door alignment.

Routine servicing helps reduce issues such as sticking, dragging, noisy operation, unreliable activation and poor closing.

Automatic Swing Door Maintenance

Automatic swing doors require careful adjustment and testing to ensure they open and close safely.

Our maintenance checks can include the operator, arms, hinges, pivots, sensors, activation devices, safety systems, control settings and door movement.

This helps support safe access, particularly in buildings used by members of the public, patients, pupils, visitors or people with accessibility needs.

Commercial Door Maintenance

Commercial doors support access, security and daily building use. Regular maintenance helps keep doors working correctly and reduces the risk of avoidable faults.

We maintain commercial entrance doors, access-controlled doors, aluminium doors, steel doors, shopfront doors and other entrance systems used in commercial premises.

Maintenance can include checking door closers, hinges, locks, alignment, access control integration, fixings and general operation.

Sliding Door Maintenance

Sliding doors can develop issues through regular use, dirt build-up, track wear, roller wear, impact damage or alignment problems.

Our sliding door maintenance service helps keep manual and automatic sliding doors moving smoothly, closing correctly and operating safely.

This service is suitable for retail, healthcare, education, office, leisure and public-sector environments.

Roller Shutter Door Maintenance

Roller shutters play an important role in protecting premises and supporting controlled access. Regular maintenance helps keep shutters safe, secure and operational.

Our roller shutter door maintenance can include checks to the shutter curtain, guides, end locks, motor, controls, safety edge, manual override and overall operation.

We maintain electric and manual roller shutters used in shops, industrial units, warehouses, loading areas and secure commercial sites.

Why Professional Door Maintenance Matters

Door maintenance is not just about keeping a system moving. Automatic and commercial doors include safety-critical parts that need to be checked, adjusted and tested by competent engineers.

Elite Entrance Systems takes a preventative approach to maintenance. The aim is to identify potential issues early, reduce emergency callouts and help clients manage entrance systems with greater confidence.

Regular maintenance can help with:
  • safer operation for staff, visitors and service users;
  • fewer unexpected breakdowns;
  • longer equipment life;
  • more predictable maintenance costs;
  • improved reliability in high-traffic areas;
  • clearer records for facilities and compliance management;
  • better performance from sensors, controls and moving parts.

Our current maintenance guidance also highlights the importance of servicing in relation to BS EN 16005 and the Supply of Machinery Safety Regulations.

Planned Servicing

We provide scheduled maintenance visits to help keep entrance systems working reliably throughout the year.

Condition Reporting

Our engineers provide clear information on the condition of your doors, including any wear, damage or recommended remedial work.

Emergency Support

Where required, emergency response can be included as part of a maintenance agreement, helping sites access support when unexpected faults occur.

Why Maintenance Matters

The Cost of Reactive Approaches

Businesses relying on breakdown repairs rather than preventative automatic door maintenance typically experience:

  • Higher operational costs - Emergency repairs cost significantly more than scheduled maintenance interventions
  • Unexpected disruption - Door failures create access problems, security vulnerabilities, and operational difficulties
  • Shortened equipment life - Poorly maintained doors require earlier replacement increasing capital expenditure
  • Compliance risks - Inadequate maintenance creates legal liability and insurance complications
  • Reduced efficiency - Neglected doors consume more energy and provide poorer environmental control
