Summer Maintenance for Your Automatic Doors
Summer is one of the most strategic times to service and optimize your automatic doors - especially for schools and commercial facilities preparing for increased traffic in the fall.With buildings operating at lower capacity, it’s the ideal window to address wear and tear, improve performance, and ensure your entrances are safe, compliant, and efficient before peak usage returns.
Why Summer Maintenance Matters
After months of harsh winter conditions and heavy use, your doors may already be experiencing:
- Sensor misalignment or reduced responsiveness
- Worn weather seals impacting energy efficiency
- Strain on motors and moving components
- Reduce unexpected downtime
- Improve safety and accessibility
- Lower energy costs
- Extend the life of your door systems
Key Components to Inspect
A comprehensive summer tune-up should include:
- Sensors & Activation Devices (push plates, motion sensors)
- Transmitters & Receivers
- Door Mats, Decals & Safety Signage
- Motors, Controllers & Switches
- Weather-stripping & Seals
- Hinges, Locks & Mechanical Hardware
Is It Time for an Upgrade?
Summer can also be the perfect time to evaluate whether your facility could benefit from modernization or retrofits. Today’s automatic door solutions offer:- Touchless activation for improved user experience
- Enhanced safety and code compliance
- Energy-efficient operation
- More reliable, longer-lasting components
Plan Ahead for Fall
Don’t wait until buildings are fully occupied to discover issues. A professional inspection now ensures your entrances are ready to support safe, seamless traffic when it matters most.👉 Schedule a summer inspection and get ahead of back-to-school and seasonal demand.
