FAQs
What is The Life Expectancy of An Automatic Sliding Door?
Automatic sliding doors can last anywhere between 15-20 years. However, the lifespan of the door depends on the quality, how well it’s maintained and how frequently it’s used. That’s why it’s important to work with a qualified door installer who offers routine maintenance and emergency repairs.
How Do Automatic Sliding Doors Work?
Automatic doors work through motion sensors using infrared or microwave technologies to detect the presence of people or objects in their vicinity. This triggers a control mechanism, giving signals that the doors need to open. This mechanism controls the speed, timing and movement of the door to ensure people can enter and exit the premises safely.
How Often Should Automatic Sliding Doors Be Serviced?
We recommend an annual service for automatic sliding doors, especially if the door is in a high-traffic area. The Supply of Machinery Safety Regulations (2008) states that automatic doors must be operated safely and per the manufacturer’s instructions. This avoids health and safety issues or malfunctions that can cause downtime and make it harder for people to access your building.
How Much Does It Cost To Install An Automatic Door?
Automatic door installation costs depend on the type of sliding door being fitted and the complexities of the existing structure. Contact our team for a personalised quote.
Can Sliding Doors Be Curved?
Yes! We offer curved sliding automatic doors which give a bold, architectural statement, efficient traffic movement and heat retention inside the building.
What Is The Common Problem With Sliding Doors?
Sliding doors operate on tracks which can easily trap dirt in them. If tracks aren’t cleaned or your sliding door system isn’t regularly serviced, the dirt accumulated in the tracks will cause the doors to slide slower or stop completely.
What is a Telescopic Sliding Door?
Telescopic sliding doors use stacked panels to ensure a wide and welcoming entrance even in narrow spaces. They are a great choice for smaller buildings that still expect high footfall.
