The advantages of installing automatic doors and their maintenance

Automatic doors are an increasingly popular solution in homes, workplaces and businesses of all kinds. They are operated by one or more motors, which can be driven by a sensor system, radio frequency or even a mobile application. These doors offer numerous advantages, such as comfort, practicality and, above all, safety

 Eduardo, our Head of the Doors Department in Aszende will tell us about automatic doors and explain their advantages. We’ll also discover the various types of door and the benefits of taking out a maintenance contract

Types of automatic doors

 

First, let’s see what types of automatic doors exist, what their characteristics are and what kind of spaces they’re suitable for:

puerta-automatica-peatonal

Automatic pedestrian doors

 

These doors can have different configurations and adapt to different gap sizes. They are ideal for businesses, offices and department stores, and it is increasingly common to find them in residential blocks.

puerta-automatica-seccional

Automatic sectional doors

 

These doors are composed of several panels that slide vertically to open and close. They are perfect for family homes, moderately sized residential blocks and companies in various sectors, including industrial and department stores.

puerta-automatica-basculante

Automatic up-and-over doors

 

These doors are composed of one or two panels which raise and lower thanks to a system of counterweights or a motor. They are ideal for vehicle entrances, residential blocks and industrial sectors.

puerta-automatica-corredera

Automatic sliding doors

 

These doors slide horizontally along a rail and are very useful for tight spaces. Like automatic up-and-over doors, they are perfect for vehicle entrances, residential blocks and industrial sectors.

puerta-automatica-batiente

Automatic side hinged doors

 

These doors open outwards or inwards by means of a hinge system. They are ideal for homes and businesses looking for a classic, elegant appearance and a solution to narrow spaces.

puerta-automatica-enrollable

Automatic roller doors

 

These doors are composed of a series of slats that are wound on a horizontal axis. They’re ideal for businesses, warehouses and garages, because they need little space.

These are characterised by their high opening and closing speeds. They are ideal for businesses that need quick and frequent access, such as supermarkets, warehouses and logistics centres.

What type of automatic door should I choose?

 

As we’ve seen before, each type of door has its advantages and disadvantages. The choice will depend on the requirements and characteristics of the space in which the doors are to be installed.

It’s therefore important to take advice from a technical expert who can recommend the best solution for each individual case. Automatic doors are an effective, safe and convenient solution; they offer multiple advantages for homes and businesses. Whether for your home, business or industry, at Aszende we have an extensive catalogue of automatic doors. You can find out more about their applications at the link above.

Automatic door maintenance

 

There is currently no regulatory requirement to perform periodic maintenance on automatic doors. However, we want to identify several positive aspects of having an automatic door maintenance service contract with Aszende.

To avoid future accidents

 

Failure to carry out good preventive maintenance to check the different safety points and other parts of the equipment could cause accidents due to malfunctions. Periodic verification is required according to the manufacturer’s instructions or maintenance book. This prevents possible damage to people or vehicles. It is important to emphasize that as maintainers, we are obliged to warn and inform the owner or user of any serious risk of accident that may occur. At Aszende, we do this after the first inspection by means of a report and quotation that we put together without obligation.

Increase the service life of the equipment and its parts

 

The service life of the equipment and the components of the automatic door can be extended by periodic preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance visits. The visible condition of each element of the equipment is checked and the service life of the consumable/expendable items is assessed, proposing replacement if wear and tear is found which might endanger their functionality or the safety of users.

Reduction in the number of warnings

 

Thanks to good maintenance, there will be a marked reduction in breakdown alerts. The equipment will always perform well. This is particularly important in businesses, where a shutdown can lead to economic losses or reduced productivity.

In short, having a door maintenance service contract for your installation ensures peace of mind. If you want more information about installing automatic doors or maintaining them, you can contact us to request a quotation without obligation, we will be waiting for you!
