Automatic Door Maintenance: Ensuring Longevity, Safety, and Optimal Performance

Your commercial doors are designed to last for many years. As a business owner or building manager, you want to extend the lifespan of your investment and minimize commercial door repair and costly repairs or replacements. Regular preventative maintenance and commercial door service will keep your employees, customers, and visitors safe, while ensuring that your automatic doors, sliding doors, and storefront door systems work efficiently.

Automatic door maintenance is not just about ensuring operational efficiency; it's about prioritizing safety, compliance, and the convenience of everyone who passes through your doors.
A comprehensive automatic door maintenance checklist, adhered to with regularity, can prevent unexpected malfunctions that may lead to accidents, compliance issues, or security breaches. This maintenance includes thorough inspections, cleaning of sensors and tracks, adjusting door closers, and fine-tuning force settings—ensuring your doors operate within AAADM (American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers) safety standards.

By investing in a preventative maintenance plan for your commercial building, you're not only extending the life of your commercial doors and automatic door openers, but also safeguarding your business against potential liabilities, compliance failures, and operational disruptions. This proactive approach to automatic door maintenance is essential for any facility relying on the seamless operation of automatic doors, door hardware, and security doors.

Another advantage of our maintenance contracts: clients receive discounted repair services, labor, and after-hours door service.


Routine Commercial Door Maintenance Checklist

The best approach is to set a schedule for routine automatic door inspections and maintenance. This keeps your commercial doors functioning safely and reduces the risk of costly repairs or emergency downtime.

With daily maintenance and safety checks of your door systems—especially for commercial door openers and security doors—you reduce risks of malfunction or non-compliance. Regular visual inspections also help you notice if a door is harder to open, makes more noise, or moves too quickly or too slowly. When you detect changes, it’s time to call for professional door repair.

Our clients receive a detailed maintenance plan tailored to their unique needs. Routine maintenance for automatic sliding doors, swing doors, and revolving doors includes:

  • Lubricate moving parts and door hardware
     Hinges, locks, and metal components require regular lubrication. Do not lubricate plastic parts. Unsure about the right lubricant or process? Call an AAADM-certified, experienced technician. Doing this right prevents premature wear and keeps your doors in top condition.
  • Visually inspect tracks and sensors
     Keep tracks and sensors of sliding doors clean and free of debris. Clean, aligned tracks and responsive sensors are essential for optimal automatic door performance and compliance.
  • Weather Stripping
     Check weather stripping on swing and revolving doors. Damaged or missing weather stripping compromises energy efficiency and compliance. Replace as needed to maintain comfort and lower energy costs.
  • Lock, Latch, and Strike Alignment
     Correct alignment ensures secure sealing and proper function for your swing and security doors. Well-aligned locks also help with regulatory compliance and ease-of-use.
  • Thresholds
    Ensure thresholds are tight and undamaged to block drafts, water, and rodents—protecting the hygiene and integrity of your commercial building.

What Is a Commercial Storefront Door?

A commercial storefront door serves as the main entry for any retail establishment. It must handle high volumes of foot traffic while maintaining an attractive appearance.

How Wide Are Storefront Doors? 

Storefront doors vary in size depending on type. For example, revolving doors range from 6 to 16 feet in diameter. Smaller models work well for security and controlled access, while larger units, like those more than 10 feet in diameter, suit busy facilities such as airports or large retail stores.

What Makes an Ideal Storefront Entrance Door? 

An ideal store front door combines durability, visual appeal, and functionality. Often built from aluminum or steel these entrances encourage potential customers to walk in while meeting all operational needs. The right choice balances accessibility, security, and style.
